Continuing to build up anticipation for TDE‘s most valuable players forthcoming sophomore release,music exec. Scott Vener details Kendrick Lamar’s unreleased track “King Kunta”, which he had the rare opportunity to hear during his last visit to Pharrell‘s studio.
Check out the collections of tweets from Verner’s Twitter account that surfaced yesterday after the jump!
Let me paint the picture… I walked into the studio to P and found myself in a room with 12 people listening to P x KDot sketching an idea for a song. When they were done. K broke out his lap top and played a song that fucked me up for real. I’m sitting here trying to think of ways to explain it with words. It just made me feel so much. It took me back to a place that i loved so much about hip hop. Literally was watching Kendrick perform his song in front of us and as my girlfriend said. It gave her chills. This dude is on some other shit. This song took me all the way back to 90s hip hop and back and gave me a tour of the cultural fabric of LA like never before. During the song, Pharrells engineer whispered to me “Dre had to produce this. This has to be Dre.” It had these dusty drums with an updated sound, hard hitting bass lines. It felt like the song took a different turn every 4 bars. Once that happen u didn’t know what to expect. This dude doesn’t want a Grammy he’s making movies. This shit should get an academy award ha. This dude @SounwaveTDE has laced you guys with something so special. I am DYING for everyone to hear it. He had a similar flow to James Brown in “Payback” talking like a conversation and rapping hard as hell. The way they made this song it like the way bands would get together and jam back in the day. There is no way that @kendricklamar and @SounwaveTDE weren’t together every step of the way this song was made. The track and the vocals were having a conversation like Jazz musicians would improvise. This is gonna FUCK U ALL UP hahahahah. West Coast music is back.
