Kendrick Lamar, Iggy Azalea Rock Made In America Festival in Los Angeles [VIDEO]


This year, the Budweiser Made In America festival was held simultaneously in two cities — one in Philadelphia and another in Los Angeles’ Grand Park. On Saturday (Aug. 30), Kendrick Lamar and Iggy Azalea performed in front of a packed crowd of 35,000 fans.


K.Dot was part of an ensemble performance of the rap label Top Dawg Entertainment. Rappers ScHoolboy Q, Ab-Soul, Jay Rock and Isaiah Rashad performed several tracks from their respective catalogues during the 75-minute set.


According to the Los Angeles Daily News, Q was the main highlight as he performed tracks from his ‘Oxymoron’ album.


Lamar closed out the set as he took concertgoers on a musical journey of his hometown of Compton. The TDE rhymer performed a medley of songs from his celebrated album ‘good kid, m.A.A.d city’ as well as tunes from ‘Section.80′ and early mixtape tracks. He even brought out Q for a turnt-up rendition of ‘Collard Greens.’


“There’s a lot of TDE fans out here and it’s a beautiful thing,” he told the roaring crowd.
