The guitarist and producer told Kendrick he’d be attending the signing on Twitter, and enthusiastically shared an image of his autographed copy
It’s been a good year for Lacy. The teen musician dropped his first solo project Steve Lacy’s Demo in February and got a credit on Kendrick Lamar’s track PRIDE.
However, despite his credit, the artist shared on Twitter that he’d be attending Kendrick Lamar’s signing in Compton on 20 April. In a humble fashion, he tweeted a signed version of the record, showing the world that no matter who you are, you still get excited about Lamar’s scrawl on your items.
In an interview with The Fader, Lacy detailed his contribution to the album DAMN. “The song I did for him came from this acoustic session that was recorded on my iPhone,” he said. “I showed Anna Wise how to record her vocals and she recorded this whole idea over these acoustic guitar chords I came up with, a small little drum loop that I made and then I took her vocal stems and made a beat over it. This was the track where he [Lamar] was like ‘Yo, put your number in my phone I need this.'”
See the tweets below and stay humble.
