Did you miss the latest episode of Power? If you did, you also missed Kendrick Lamar‘s debut on the show as the character Laces, proving he’s just as talented on screen as he is on wax (which we’ve all seen glimpses of with his music videos).

Prior to the episode’s premiere, K. Dot spoke to Power creator Courtney A. Kemp about the role:
“I don’t wanna be something that people predict. I wanted to be something out of the ordinary—something I could relate to… A drug abuser—Laces. A hot head. A dude that’s ready to go, always on the take. It’s just a character I know growing up in Compton. You have relatives or dudes from around the corner that grew up in the neighborhood before you. And you just see these dudes walking around everyday—just on the go. And you grow this sort of love for them, in a weird way. You don’t wanna see nothing happen to them, but you know he’s dangerous.”
