Good Kid, Mad City (stylized good kid, m.A.A.d city) is the upcoming major label debut studio album by American hip hop recording artist Kendrick Lamar, set to be released on October 2, 2012, under Top Dawg, Aftermath and Interscope Records.[1]
Background
Good Kid, mA.A.d City is his first studio album. He told HiphopDX he didn't feel the need to work with new producers. He said he wanted to prove himself and so he's working on the album with the producers he has previously worked with, mainly Dr. Dre.
Composition
Recording and production
Lamar spoke recently in an interview with a radio station about a song off the album called "Dying of Thirst"; he went on to say that it is the deepest song on the album. Lamar is working on the music video for his first single The Recipe which is due to be released within weeks. Dr. Dre is said to be involved heavily in the music video and it to have a California Love feel to it.
Lamar also stated good kid, m.A.A.d City Will Sound “Nothing” Like Section.80. “I couldn’t tell you what type of sound or where I’ma be in the next five years as far as music,” he said. “It’s a big difference from the next project compared to the last. And that’s what happened with this album. Going back to the neighborhood and going to different spots, chilling with my homeboys, put me back in that same space where we used to be, bringing back them thoughts, reminiscing how I was feeling. I got myself right back in that mode and I got inspired by that. So this album won’t sound like Section.80. Completely nothing like it,” he told XXL.
Kendrick Lamar expresses that the highly anticipated studio debut album will discuss his life in the infamous city of Compton. "The kid that’s trying to escape that influence, trying his best to escape that influence, has always been pulled back in because of circumstances that be.” he said.
