Kendrick Lamar‘s “Overly Dedicated” has been the talk of (West Coast) Rap since its release on iTunes last week. The Compton native kept his promise and leaked the entire thing for free download just an hour ago.
If you belong to the minority and you’ve yet to hear “OD” because you’ve been waiting on your free shot, your time has finally come! Everybody else who supported the project, make sure you still download the new version and look for the 3 new tracks which didn’t make the iTunes version.
Kendrick Lamar – Overly Dedicated (Free Mixtape Download)
Even though we appreciate Kendrick dropping this for free as well, we want everybody to realize how big of a success the iTunes release was on September 14th. The project was released with no retail marketing, only the push on the blogs and it entered the iTunes Hip-Hop charts at #7, amidst the Drake’s, B.o.B.’s and Eminem’s with major backing. So even if you haven’t copped the digital download yet and want to get the extra tracks from the free version, we urge you to support Kendrick Lamar and independent West Coast music by copping it on iTunes anyway.
Let’s open the doors for more West Coast artists to successfully release full-length projects, it’s been too long!
