When Dave Free and K-Dot announced the at service company last year, they shared a visual mission statement that starred Kendrick, Baby Keem, Jorja Smith, and Yara Shahidi. Written and directed by Dave Free, the video featured Keem's song "Jump 2" alongside music from Florence Welch and Kamasi Washington.
Back in October, Kendrick sat down for an interview with Keem for i-D that saw them briefly address the company. "I've seen pgLang before it was even an idea that came to fruition," said Keem. "To me, pgLang represents loyalty and trust." They later shared another promo video directed by Dave Free, showing Keem as he recorded music in the studio.
