Kendrick in an interview with Power 106 said “I want to retract the word ‘single, I want to call things that I release ‘statements’ because this music is something that the world has to hear and it’s not only for me, but it’s for the stress. It’s for our livelihoods. When I want to come back on my release, I want to make sure I do just that and continue that.” It really seems like Kendrick wants to reach new levels with his music hopefully without compromising the hip hop sound that is dying out in mainstream rap these days.
