Sonnymoon

Kendrick Lamar
Musician
Outside of hip-hop, what other kinds of music do you listen to?
LAMAR: Indie or alternative stuff. Sonnymoon and Quadrants are a couple of bands that really inspire me in terms of the melodics of things and certain tones and just what feels good. It takes me back to the type of music that I grew up on in my household.

Who's That Lady - Live — The Isley Brothers

Kendrick Lamar
Musician
I'll tell you how the record came about. I was going through a lot of my favourite Isley [Brothers] record joints, just trying to grab inspiration from them, and I came across Who's That Lady and I said to myself, "I don't really want to sample it. I want to have the best musicians go in and we'll create and replay this joint."

CrasH — ScHoolboy Q
