Fresh out of an all-night recording session in New York City, seven-time Grammy winner Kendrick Lamar dropped by the Stern Show for the first time to talk to Howard about his new album “DAMN.,” how he went from a Compton kid to a rap icon, and the Prince collaboration that almost materialized.

With some calling him the greatest rapper alive, Kendrick also addressed the pressures of the business and what fuels his success.
