The Kendrick Lamar wave is in full swing and taking over the nation. At a recent show, LRG caught up with the Compton representative to discuss his current musical inspirations. He explains, "I don't really listen to a lot of rap, just because I do it." Instead, he listens to melodies from the likes of Floetry, D'Angelo and Erykah Badu, who inspire him to do what he does.

He also says his fashion sense represents him and that material things never made him, so he doesn't feel the need to wear anything that's "rapper cliche" because it's what's inside that counts.
