Kendrick also revealed that he's been in the studio with Prince after being in Minnesota together last October.
“We was vibing, but we was pressed, man." Kendrick said, revealing they unfortunately didn't have time to complete a whole song. “I didn’t trip over getting a song done. I really appreciate the actual game he was giving...He took control of his music. He was breaking down some things that I need to consider in my career. Just really taking control of your creativity.”
Kendrick will play Wireless Festival in London this summer.
