Kendrick Lamar "King Kunta" Music Video

Following the brief Times Square unveiling, Kendrick Lamar has officially released the music video to accompany his newest single “King Kunta.” Giving fans an insight to his origins, K-Dot sets his newest video in his hometown of Compton, cruising around different areas of the notorious Californian city. The video seemingly features a handful of his old friends, and includes a notable location at the prominent Compton Swap Meet. The namesake of the track ”King Kunta” was derived from the name of a rebellious slave in the 18th century named Kunta Kinte. Kinte, similar to Lamar, looks to be a powerful symbol of black resistance against oppressive institutions, however in different forms. Enjoy the video above.
