I recently had the pleasure of working on a powerful project in Compton, California, with the talented Dave Free and Kendrick Lamar. The song, “Not Like Us,” is not just a diss track; it brought an unexpected unity to the gangs of Los Angeles. Witnessing this firsthand was truly amazing.

We filmed at Tams Burger in Compton, and it was immediately surrounded by hundreds of people showing love. Later, we had a scene at the Compton courthouse with an estimated total of around 2,000 people in attendance. The atmosphere was peaceful, filled with love for Kendrick and the city of Compton. For a music artist to unite an entire city peacefully, given the history of gang violence, was nothing short of monumental and historic.

This video is bigger than Drake. It was powerful to see so many people coming together to show love for their city and unite under this song. I’m incredibly proud of the strong crew who helped pull this off.

I love this video, and I’m excited to share it with the world. Check it out and Step with it! 🕺🏽💪🏾
