Just in case you’ve never heard of Kendrick Lamar, you should know that he is a Grammy award-winning rapper.
And Pulitzer Prize winner.
Yes, you read that right.
The 30 year old was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Music for his 4th studio album DAMN, which has sold over 3.1 million units since it was released in April 2017.
The recognition also marks the first time that the Pulitzer jury has honored work outside the categories of classical or jazz music.
The irony of the prestigious honor has not been lost on Kendrick’s fans who pointed out that the album did not claim Album of the Year among the 5 Grammys it received at this year’s ceremony.
Either way, we know Kendrick is known for being “Humble.”
