Get Inspired With Kendrick Lamar & Reebok

Inspired as a kid to beat the odds and rise above the crime and poverty of his hometown of Compton, Kendrick Lamar knew he had to find his passion. Now that he’s at the top, he’s helping Reebok spread the word that the same is necessary to help urban youths reach their own potential.

Locking himself in the studio, Kendrick built himself into one of the most popular rappers in the world. Kids in Compton and all over the country need to have the means necessary to find their own passions and follow them, and should have the right role models to inspire them. Staying off the streets and in the studio, on the field, or in the gym is what it’s all about.

It’s as simple as that.”
