With Kendrick Lamar

Mary Anne is granted a rare and intimate conversation with one of the world's biggest and best stars, Kendrick Lamar.

Grammy Award-winning rapper Lamar, also known as K-Dot, was born and raised in Compton. He has released our album of the year so far in 'To Pimp A Butterfly', which incorporates hip hop, spoken word poetry, jazz, and funk.

Mary Anne is honoured to welcome Lamar on to the show. In fact she has been pursuing him for years! Listen in as the pair discuss childhood, peace, love, and taking over the world.

Alongside this fascinating conversation, expect to hear music from the artists that deeply influenced Lamar, including Eminem, Tupac Shakur, and Snoop Dogg.
