Back in 2003 Kendrick Lamar (at the time known as K-Dot) was hustling and on the come up.  This K-Dot’s first mixtape he released entitled Y.H.N.I.C. back when he was 16-years-old. Check out the stream below to hear the project which has Kendrick going in over a number of popular instrumentals during that time.  It’s always interesting to hear somebody’s growth and humble beginnings.

VIDEO: Cam’ron & Dipset Source Awards Rehearsal Circa 2003

Now I don’t know about you but this takes me back to when I first started recording music with the homies and when I was in high school.  I can remember how the influence of New York music at that time started showing in the styles on campus and just how popular Dipset was.  It was just a big time around those days for Roc-a-Fella in general.  Check out the behind the scenes footage of the whole Dipset crew practicing for their show at the Source Awards and giving a dope rehearsal for the staff and camera crew.
