As a long-time follower and admirer of Kendrick Lamar’s music, I can’t help but feel a sense of immense pride and anticipation at the news of his upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show performance. Having grown up with his lyrics painting vivid pictures of Compton life in my own California neighborhood, it feels like a full-circle moment to see him grace the NFL’s biggest stage.
