Kendrick Lamar has an amazing music catalog, which features albums like Good Kid mAAD City, To Pimp A Butterfly, and DAMN.
Those albums were hosted under the Warner/Chappell Music umbrella, but as of today, it seems Kendrick will move his catalog and future works over to BMI.
The move makes sense, as ScHoolboy Q, SZA, Jay Rock, Isaiah Rashad, and Lance Skiiiwalker all host their work with BMI.
Mike Steinberg, the executive vice president of Creative & Licensing at BMI had this to say regarding the new deal.
We’re thrilled to welcome Kendrick to the BMI family and expand our great working relationship with Top Dawg Entertainment and its incredibly talented roster.
Kendrick’s gift for writing and performing such stunningly impactful music has solidified his stature among the world’s greatest artists and, without a doubt, as a major force in our industry for many years to come. We’re honored that he has chosen BMI to represent his creative works.
Congrats, Kendrick!
