Kendrick Lamar Duckworth, known professionally as Kendrick Lamar, is an American rapper, songwriter, and record producer who is widely regarded as one of the most impactful voices of contemporary hip-hop. Lamar was raised in Compton, California, a city known as much for its lively culture as for gang violence. Lamar turned to music at a young age and took to songwriting to make sense of the tough world he was living in. In seventh grade, Lamar’s English teacher introduced him to nuances of poetry, which made Lamar develop a love for songwriting. Lamar took on the stage name K.Dot in school and began freestyling and battle rapping.
Lamar is known for his political and social consciousness, which he presents through storytelling. Some of his albums are good kid, m.A.A.d city; To Pimp a Butterfly; DAMN; GNX; and Section.80. His albums have been considered as cinematic explorations for their vivid descriptions, conceptual depth, and social commentaries.

Kendrick Lamar has Aries Rising and Aquarius Moon sign. He has a strong Venus in Taurus, and a well-placed Mercury that has given him a great and successful career as a songwriter and record producer.
Venus in Rohini constellation and well-placed 5th house lord, Sun (which has blessed him with fame and status), brought Lamar the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Music, making him the first musician beyond jazz and classical genres to win the award.
Moon in the zodiac sign of Aquarius, ruled by Saturn, and a strong Venus in Taurus, in the 4th (the sign of home) from the Moon, gives a touch of creativity with a strong connection to his roots. Lamar's music is said to feature self-aware and introspective lyrics and is replete with socio-political analysis and observations on African-American traditions and culture.
