Kendrick Lamar

Kendrick Lamar is a Pulitzer Prize-winning rapper—and the first musician outside of classical and jazz genres to receive the honor. It’s his literary songwriting style that helped catapult him into the spotlight. Largely based on his own experiences, Kendrick’s high-concept albums take listeners on lyrical journeys from challenge to triumph. He consistently tops the charts, wins GRAMMY Awards, and has some of the highest-grossing rap concerts in history. He’s also the headliner of the Apple Music Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show. Kendrick’s music often amplifies the idea that you can always do your best. Even the most difficult workouts can seem more manageable with his empowering words in your ears. The booming beats of “tv off” are great to help you find the right rhythm during a tough speed push. The track “i” is packed with rapid-fire rhymes that are a reminder to stand tall, regardless of the obstacles—or dumbbells—in front of you.
