Sounwave produced seven of its total 14 tracks, with James Blake also credited.
Kendrick Lamar’s new album DAMN. dropped today, with features by Rihanna, U2 and rising star Zacari. Now, the production list has been revealed, with Mike Will Made It and Sounwave featuring heavily.
Adele producer Greg Kurstin also makes an appearance in the credits to Kendrick’s untitled unmastered follow-up, with BadBadNotGood named as producers on ‘LUST.’ and James Blake listed as a writer and producer on fourth track ‘ELEMENT.’
Not listed in the album credits is a sample used throughout the album of Fox News’ Geraldo Rivera condemning Kendrick’s BET Awards performance of ‘Alright’ in 2015, in which the host claims “hip-hop has done more damage to young African-Americans than racism in recent years.” The sample features on opener ‘BLOOD.’, the Mike Will Made It-produced ‘DNA.’ and is alluded to on ‘YAH.’
