After some clips surfaced recently, Kendrick Lamar and TDE decided to give in and drop the full version of Lamar’s ‘King Kunta‘ video. But it came in a way so Kendrick-esque as possible. The rapper premiered the visual in Time Square in downtown New York City. ‘King Kunta’ is the second visual from his new album ‘TPAB‘.
