The world received the premier of K. Dot’s video for the most popular track from his new album, ‘King Kunta’ last night at 6pm, NYC time. In an unusual move, the video was broadcast on a video billboard in Times Square but we managed to grab the high quality version just for you, fam.
The video was partly filmed at the Compton Swap Meet and was directed by none other than Director X. You can check out a fan made behind the scenes video in the gallery above ↑↑ and the billboard preview below ↓↓
To Pimp a Butterfly is Kendricks’s most successful album to date receiving some of the best critical reviews for any rap album ever and breaking the record for the most plays on Spotify with over 9.8 million plays.
