News : Kendrick Lamar Honored by California State Senate
With only a few months down, 2015 has already proved to be a great year for Kendrick Lamar—mainly due to the high praise his recent album To Pimp A Butterfly has received. However, recently Kendrick received even greater recognition. Yesterday, the California State Senate honored him with the “Generational Icon Award.”
Before welcoming Kendrick to the podium, State Senator Isadore Hall informed the ceremony attendees on all of the reasons why Kendrick Lamar is so deserving of this honor. The award celebrates his constant support of his hometown of Compton, how he has helped fund programs and donate to multiple charities within the community that will keep kids “off the streets and in the classroom.”
When Kendrick Lamar received his award he simply stated, “Being from the city of Compton and knowing the parks that I played at and neighborhoods, I always thought how great the opportunity would be to give back to my community.”
