Kendrick had all kinds of buzz around him but still hadn’t hit the mainstream yet. But I was trying to get him heard. For anybody I knew or encountered who was a hip hop head, I wouldn’t stop talking about Kendrick. And then on July 2nd, 2011 he dropped his mixtape Section.80 and the rest was history. This mixtape was all that me and the homies (what up Stro, Lito, and Alan!) would bump on our long drive to work. There were so many dope tracks on this project. Within a week we already knew our favorite verses and our carpool trips into the office turned into Section.80 performances because that’s about all that we cared about the summer of 2011.
