The camp has dropped four albums so far this year, but Kendrick Lamar has yet to join Isaiah Rashad, Schoolboy Q, SZA, and Ab-Soul in ’14 releases. After first suggesting K.

Dot revealed during the interview that he had actually traveled to St. Louis to get the blessing from soul legend Ronald Isley for the Isley Brothers’ sample used on the track.
