The highly anticipated major label debut from Kendrick entitled Good Kid In a Mad City is coming October 2nd.

His talent is undeniable and he just seems to be on another level than anyone in the game.

But one thing we do know, Kendrick Lamar has yet to disappoint. With Good Kid In a Mad City coming in October and the joint album with J. Cole (hopefully) around the corner as well, 2012 is shaping up to be Kendrick's year. Stay tuned... Update: So I guess you can scratch that October 2nd date for now...
