![Amid the accolades, Kendrick Lamar refuses to compromise his vision, keeping it homegrown - Los Angeles Times](https://www.latimes.com/resizer/JdRUprtbY13qhmnIVMIoW8gIdPg=/1200x0/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-tronc.s3.amazonaws.com/public/UXIJDSJVVRDQ3FN5AKP5XZEA4U.jpg)
After rough skeleton tracks were completed, Lamar and Sounwave brought them to the guest artists, explaining the vibes and sonics that they aspired toward. The finished tracklist doubles as a litany of Lamar’s favorite contemporary artists: 2 Chainz, Swae Lee, SOB X RBE, Vince Staples, Jorja Smith, James Blake, Anderson .Paak, Future, Mozzy, Travis Scott and the Weeknd. His TDE brethren Schoolboy Q, Ab-Soul and SZA appear too — the latter delivering a bravura hook on the album’s hit single, “All the Stars.”
