It showed me that no matter where you start in life, hard work and dedication will put you where you hope and dream to be.live from paris this saturday 10.22 8pm cest / 11am pt / 2pm et pic.twitter.com/6j2mCiAhZf— Kendrick Lamar (@kendricklamar) October 18, 2022“Now, 10 years later, it’s almost poetic that two kids from the same city with similar, but different dreams have landed in Paris to celebrate not just that record but Kendrick’s latest revolutionary album, ‘Mr.

Morale & The Big Steppers’. We’re honoured to sponsor this tour and bring this show to fans around the world.”Reviewing ‘Good Kid, MAAd City’ in 2012, NME awarded the record three stars and described it as lacking “the raw appeal of Kendrick’s 2011 mixtape ‘Section.80’, but it’s a big-budget reminder that the 25-year-old hasn’t forgotten his roots.”Across October, Lamar will be performing shows in Europe, before concluding the year by touring Australia and New Zealand in December.
