Lamar's single "i" appeared on the Hot 100 prior to the release of To Pimp A Butterfly.

Kendrick Lamar has six songs on Billboard's Hot 100 chart for the week ending April 4.

Each are off of his latest album, To Pimp A Butterfly, which is currently the #1 album in the country.

The highest charting track isn't even in the Top 50, though.

"King Kunta" entered the charts this week at #61 , followed by "The Blacker the Berry" at #66 . Kendric's next track, "Alright," is currently at #83 on the chart.

"Wesley's Theory," featuring George Clinton and Thundercat is at #91 , then "These Walls" is #94 , and "Institutionalized" featuring Bilal, Snoop Dogg, and Anna Wise just cracked the Hot 100 at the #99 spot on the weekly chart.

Lamar's single "i" appeared on the Hot 100 prior to the release of To Pimp A Butterfly. Despite the song's popularity, it peaked at #39 on the charts.

Kendrick's highest charting track is "Swimming Pools (Drank)" – off of his debut major label album, good kid, m.A.A.d. city. The alcohol-oriented song spent 12 weeks on the chart and peaked at #26 .

Give These Walls another mixdown for radio and video release and this will peak very high. The track is an excellency.

That was my thought too. I think if you mix up that song, King Kunta maybe featuring Suga Free, and Alright, you'd have 3 radio songs that people will go crazy for. With Kendrick, it's not about making radio songs for the album, but you can put out remixes for the radio. Like Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe off the last album. Remixes on the radio I think also can do better since people will want to buy it after they bought the album. It's perfect marketing for today's music buyer.
