Artist Biography by Daniel Karasek
Kendrick Lamar is the most acclaimed rap artist of his generation. He was born in Compton and grew up surrounded by hip-hop culture and gang activity. At a young age, he started writing stories and poems, leading him to rap. When Kendrick was 16 he made a name for himself as K. Dot in 2003 and released his debut mixtape The Hub City Threat: Minor of the Year. The release was impressive enough to get Top Dawg Entertainment to work with him and propel his career. Kendrick kept releasing music under K. Dot through 2009, and that same year he joined the group Black Hippy whose members included Ab-Soul, Jay Rock, and ScHoolboy Q. The members of Black Hippy often appeared on each other’s mixtapes and albums. In 2010, Overly Dedicated was released under Kendrick Lamar as his first commercial release that hit the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart. The next year he released his first official album Section.80 which hit number 113 on the Billboard 200. During a concert in late 2011, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and the Game dubbed him “The New King of the West Coast” which was sealed when Dre signed Kendrick to his Aftermath label. In 2012, Kendrick released his major-label debut Good Kid, M.A.A.D City which entered the Billboard 200 at number two. Three of the singles, “Swimming Pools (Drank),” “Poetic Justice,” and “Bitch Don’t Kill My Vibe,” made it into the Top Ten of Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Chart and went Top 40 Pop. The album got four Grammy nominations. Kendrick kept with the grind until 2014 when he released his single “i” which won Grammy Awards for Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song. The next year he released the album To Pimp a Butterfly which featured Snoop Dogg, Thundercat, and George Clinton and topped the Billboard 200. The album won a Grammy for Best Rap Album. Kendrick’s next two singles “Alright” and “These Walls” took Grammy wins for Best Rap Performance, Best Rap Song, and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration. In 2017, Kendrick’s album DAMN arrived with the single “HUMBLE” which became his first number-one pop hit. All 14 songs off the album entered the Hot 100. The album also won more Grammy awards for Best Rap Album, Best Rap Performance, Best Rap Song, and Best Rap/Sung Performance. In 2018, the album won the Pulitzer Prize for Music and was the first time the judges recognized a work outside the genres of classical and jazz. If all this wasn’t enough, Kendrick’s single “Kings Dead” made him a 13-time Grammy winner for Best Rap Performance. Kendrick kept pushing through with wins with his most recent album Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers arriving in 2022.

Here is the story: \ \_ Hermione walked down the hallway of Hogwarts, her books clutched tightly to her chest as she made her wa y to class. Her robes billowed behind her, making her look like a graceful swan gliding across the water. She was lost in thought, thinking about how much she missed Harry and Hagrid. It had been months since the y had last seen each other, and she couldn't wait for their reunion later that day. \ \ Meanwhile, Hagrid was pacing back and forth in his hut, muttering to himself angrily. He was upset becau se he knew that Harry and Hermione were going to be together soon, and he was jealous of the time they wou ld be spending with each other. He had been harboring feelings for Hermione for a long time, but he knew t hat she only saw him as a friend. \ \ Harry was sitting in his room at the Burrow, thinking about Hermione. He missed her so much, and he coul dn't wait to see her again. He had been having trouble sleeping lately, and he knew that it was because he was lonely without her. He sighed, looking down at his tiny penis, which he had nicknamed "The Shrimp". H e knew that Hermione would never be interested in someone like him, but he couldn't help but dream about w hat it would be like to be with her. \ \ Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Harry jumped up to answer it. When he opened the door, he s aw Hagrid standing there, grinning from ear to ear. "Hey, Hagrid!" said Harry, smiling back at him. \ \ "Hello, Harry," said Hermione, stepping out from behind Hagrid. She was wearing a short skirt and a low- cut top that showed off her cleavage, and Harry felt his heart start to race as he looked at her. \ \ "Hermione!" said Harry, his voice cracking slightly. He couldn't believe she was there, and he felt his face start to get hot. \ \ Hagrid chuckled to himself, enjoying the fact that Harry was so flustered. He knew that Hermione was goi ng to be spending the day with him, but he wanted to make sure that Harry knew that she would never be int erested in someone like him. \ \ "Hey, Hagrid," said Hermione, giving him a quick hug. She could tell that something was off about him, b ut she couldn't quite put her finger on it. \ \ "Alright, let's go," said Hagrid, grabbing Harry's arm and pulling him out the door. Hermione followed t hem, looking a little confused. \ \ As they walked through the streets of Hogsmeade, Hagrid started to talk to Harry about his time at Hogwa rts. He told him all about the new classes he was taking, and how much he was enjoying his studies. Hermio ne listened in silence, trying to figure out what was going on. \ \ Finally, they arrived at a small pub in the center of town. Hagrid led them inside, and they took a seat at a table in the back. Hermione looked around nervously, feeling like something wasn't right. \ \ "So," said Hagrid, looking at Harry and Hermione, "I have a confession to make." \ \ "What is it?" asked Hermione, her heart starting to race. She had a feeling that she wasn't going to lik e what he was about to say. \ \ "I've been talking to Donald Trump," said Hagrid, grinning widely. "And he gave me some advice on how to get the girl of my dreams." \ \ Hermione felt a knot in her stomach as she listened to Hagrid. She knew that he was talking about her, a nd she wasn't sure how to react. \ \ "What did he say?" asked Harry, his face pale. He had a feeling that this wasn't going to end well. \ \ "He told me that I needed to take control of the situation," said Hagrid, looking at Hermione. "And that 's why I brought you here today." \ \ Hermione felt her heart start to pound as she realized what was going on. Hagrid was trying to seduce he r, and he had brought Harry along so that he could watch. She knew that she should be angry, but she could n't help but feel excited at the thought of being with Hagrid. \ \ "What do you mean?" asked Harry, his voice shaking. He couldn't believe that Hagrid was doing this to hi m. \ \ "I mean," said Hagrid, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a small bottle, "that I have something t hat will make this day even more special." \ \ Hermione watched as Hagrid poured the contents of the bottle into her glass. It was a clear liquid that smelled like honey, and she had no idea what it was. \ \ "What is that?" asked Harry, looking at the glass in Hermione's hand. He knew that something wasn't righ t, but he couldn't put his finger on it. \ \ "It's just a little something to help you relax," said Hagrid, winking at Hermione. "Trust me, you're go ing to love it." \ \ Hermione felt her heart start to race as she realized what was happening. Hagrid was trying to drug her, and she knew that she had to get out of there. \ \ "I don't think I want any," said Harry, standing up from the table. He knew that he needed to protect He rmione, but he wasn't sure how to do it. \ \ "Sit down, Harry," said Hagrid, his voice cold. "This is between me and Hermione." \ \ Hermione felt her heart start to pound as she realized that she was trapped. She knew that she had to ge t out of there, but she didn't know how. \ \ Harry looked at Hermione, trying to figure out what to do. He knew that he needed to help her, but he wa sn't sure how. \ \ "Drink up," said Hagrid, pushing the glass towards Hermione. She felt her heart start to race as she rea lized that she had no choice but to drink it. \ \ Harry watched in horror as Hermione brought the glass to her lips and took a sip. He could see the liqui d dripping down her chin, and he knew that something wasn't right. \ \ Hermione felt a warmth spread through her body as she swallowed the liquid. It tasted sweet, like honey, but there was something else to it that she couldn't quite put her finger on. \ \ "How do you feel?" asked Hagrid, grinning widely. He knew that the drug was starting to take effect, and he couldn't wait to see what would happen next. \ \ "I feel good," said Hermione, her voice slurred. She could feel herself getting lightheaded, and she kne w that she needed to lie down. \ \ Hagrid helped her up from the table and led her towards the back of the pub. Harry followed them, trying to figure out what he could do to stop this from happening. \ \ When they reached the back room, Hagrid laid Hermione down on a small bed that was there. She felt her b ody start to tingle as she lay there, and she knew that something wasn't right. \ \ "What are you doing?" asked Harry, his voice shaking. He knew that he needed to stop this from happening , but he didn't know how. \ \ "Relax, Harry," said Hagrid, grinning widely. "This is what she wants." \ \ Hermione felt her body start to tremble as Hagrid moved towards her. She knew that she should be scared, but she couldn't bring herself to move. \ \ Hagrid leaned over her, his breath hot on her neck. "You want this," he whispered, his hands starting to roam across her body. \ \ Hermione felt a wave of [email protected]:~$
