A landmark hip-hop record that defined an era.

📝 Our review

Widely regarded as one of the greatest hip-hop albums of its generation, good kid, m.A.A.d city is a concept record about growing up in Compton. Kendrick builds a fictional day in a teenager's life with narrative precision rarely seen in the genre. The production by Sounwave, DJ Dahi and T-Minus is dense and cinematic. "Swimming Pools," "Money Trees" and "m.A.A.d city" are cuts that withstand the test of time effortlessly.
