Background
On March 30, 2012, after speaking on his newly signed joint venture deal, which brought Top Dawg Entertainment under Interscope Records, Lamar announced on Big Boy's Neighborhood that he will premier his debut single “The Recipe”, to the morning radio show on April 2.[2][3] The song samples "Meet the Frownies" as performed by Twin Sister.[4]
Reception
The song has been well received by fans and critics alike, Carrie Battan of Pitchfork Media summarized the song as an "anthemic Californian pride cut".[4] Nick Catucci of Rolling Stone wrote jokingly "You might get a contact high from this" and went on to write "Lamar’s wafting number has rolling boulders for a beat, lines about sunlight slanting through shades and Dre explaining, "How many ways am I killin' 'em? Shit, right around a billion."[5]
Music video
Production for a high budget music video for "The Recipe" began in May. On May 30, 2012, Schoolboy Q released behind-the-scenes photos of the video, via his Instagram.[6]
