Kendrick Lamar’s sophomore album is arguably the most anticipated in hip-hop, and with his lead single ‘I’ fans are salivating at the mouth to get as much out of K.Dot as they can. HBO Music Supervisor, Scott Vener, the man behind the dope music fans hear on shows such as Entourage and How To Make It In America took to his Twitter account Wednesday night (Oct. 29) to speak with great detail hearing what could be Kendrick’s second single titled “King Kunta” Singlehandedly, Vener, who is obviously a hip-hop head, has reawakened the musical curiosity of fans who dismissed K.Dot’s efforts after hearing his radio-friendly single “i” Peep what Vener had to say.
