Valino's log:
Kendrick Lamar performs a verse of "HiiiPower" off his upcoming album "Section 80". This was a bit of a last minute shoot for me that I ended up doing because I was gathering more footage for the Rich Kidd EPK that I'm working on vimeo.com/21188719. Rich Kidd, Smash Brovaz, Element, Lord Quest and AbSoul opened. I'll get to that later. Let's focus on Kendrick Lamar. I had recently just come across his music and videos online and was mildly impressed if not a little skeptical especially with the massive hype surrounding him. That feeling was completely put to rest a few seconds after he stepped on stage. With such a indescribable energy about him, from his flow to his delivery, he conducted the crowd with such clear cut resolve and confidence. I was blown away to say the very least! This event was topped off with Rich Kidd presenting Kendrick with a cake for his 24th birthday reading "Happy Birthday Kendrick "HiiiPower". I'm excited to see how Kendrick evolves as an artist as his fan base multiplies.
