On Monday October 22nd, the Best Buy in Compton,CA held a small meet and greet for the release of Kendrick Lamar's good kid, mAAD city. The fact that it's Kendrick's hometown made it even more special and memorable. People began lining up from 5am to wait until 10am when the wristbands were getting handed out. The lines wrapped around the store, and extra security was called. The line was held for the 500 people to buy the album and get a wristbands to come back at 8pm when the signing would happen.

There was also an unexpected stop from his fellow TDE member Ab-Soul, and also randomly J. Cole stopped by to buy the album and support the movement.

 The whole ordeal didn't go without small scuffles here there, but overall, the King came back to the city where saw him grow up, the city that shaped to what we see today. I expect big things for him. This album is just a start for the artist that would soon bring the west, and hip hop back on the map and would something much more different, and would also how people listen to music.

Buy album here!!. It's a must buy!!
