THE DAMN. CHRONIC | DR. DRE x KENDRICK (MASH UP) | STREAM NOW

KENDRICK LAMAR VOCALS GET MASHED UP WITH CLASSIC DR. DRE BEATS ON ‘THE DAMN. CHRONIC’ PROJECT.

DJ Critical Hype is no stranger to hip-hop mash-ups. After blending Chance The Rapper’s vocals with Kanye West beats on Chance The Dropout, the DJ is now mixing Kendrick Lamar‘s vocals with classic instrumentals produced Dr. Dre.

The DJ’s latest project, The Damn. Chronic, features a mixture of K. Dot’s older verses and newer verses from the album Damn. The new project kicks off with a mash-up of Eminem’s “My Name Is” and Kendrick’s self-titled “Kendrick Lamar.”

Other standout tracks on The Damn. Chronic project include “Faith”—a mash-up with the Dr. Dre song “Xxplosive”—and “Freedom,” which blends K. Dot’s verse from the Beyonce song of the same name with 50 Cent’s “Heat.”

Along with mixing the two artist’s music, DJ Critical Hype also mashed up two of their album covers for the project’s artwork. Designed by Ian Klarer, The Damn. Chronic cover takes K. Dot’s image from the Damn. cover and replaces Dre’s face on The Chronic cover.

In related news, Kendrick was recently a big winner at the 2018 Juno Awards, taking home the award for International Album of the Year. The rapper’s Damn. project ended up beating Bruno Mars’ 24K Magic and Post Malone’s Stoney.
