Kendrick Lamar // The Recipe [Feat. Dr. Dre]

“The Recipe” is the first single from Compton rapper Kendrick Lamar’s major label debutm, “Good Kid in a Mad City”, which is set for release later this year.

An ode to pretty woman and LA, the track sees Kendrick team up with Dr. Dre, after having the benefit of being championed by the Hip-Hop heavyweight for a while now. While not delivering one of his finest verses, Dre still sounds good against the Scoop DeVille produced instrumental. However, it’s Kendrick’s hazy rhymes that really steal the show, showing promise that he might have great things to come in 2012.

This west coast anthem features a suitable Twisted Sister sample, which adds a slightly trippy effect to the song’s laid-back, breezy feel. The drum kicks add a smooth, chilled feel to song, making this the perfect recipesong for the warmer weather. If only that California Sun could head over to Northern Ireland for a while.
