DOWNLOAD Kendrick Lamar’s 2016 Grammy Performance (Full)

By Nuel Nonny | 17th February 2016

Rapper Kendrick Lamar delivered the performance of the night, walking out as part of a chain gang to perform “The Blacker The Berry” with his band locked inside jail cells.

Kdot cad in prison garb, walked unto the stage in shackles, and backed by prison imagery, he launched into an emotionally-charged performance of “The Blacker the Berry” off his album To Pimp a Butterfly.

He then with an enormous bonfire raging behind him transitioned into “Alright.” His acrobatic dancers were also a sight to behold as they brought rhythm as he rocked through a single that’s been called a civil rights anthem for this generation.

Kendrick debuted a brand new song about death and “modern-day slavery.” Spitting with a rapid-fire flow, K-Dot closed his set as a map of Africa appeared behind him with a single word written on it: “Compton.”
