Music: NOISEY: Bompton with Kendrick Lamar

A couple of weeks ago VICE announced their new music docu-series Noisey, which will air on VICE's new network VICELAND. As part of the series, Correspondent Zach Goldbaum will head to the Hub City to talk culture, music and lifestyle. In the first episode, Noisey: Bompton sits down to chat it up with Grammy Award winner Kendrick Lamar to talk about his influences and challenges growing up in "Bompton."

Compton, California, is one of hip-hop's most celebrated locales, the birthplace of acts like N.W.A. and, more recently, Kendrick Lamar. It's also home to a complicated gang culture. Noisey Bompton centers around Kendrick Lamar and the friends he grew up with on the West Side of Compton, many of whom feature on the cover of his album 'To Pimp A Butterfly.' n the first of six segments, we sit down with Kendrick to talk about his acclaimed albums, pay a visit to his high school, Centennial, and get to know his childhood friend Lil L.

Watch episode one of Noisey: Bompton below and look for the network and show to premiere March 1 at 10pm.
