Kendrick Lamar To Perform With National Symphony Orchestra

The Swimming Pools (Drank) hitmaker will take to the stage at the iconic Kennedy Center on 20 October (15) to perform songs from his acclaimed sophomore album, To Pimp a Butterfly.

The orchestra will remix Lamar's tracks into classical pieces for the one-off concert.

Lamar isn't the first hip-hop star to join forces with the NSO - last year (14), Nas performed his classic 1994 album Illmatic in honour of its 20th anniversary.
