Over Kendrick Lamar’s five-star new album yet? No, us neither. 

The success of the Compton trailblazer’s Good Kid, m.A.A.d. City has earned him an even more rabid following; a 2013 European tour looks set to capitalise on the hype. Cities include Glasgow, Milan and London – Lamar will also be playing London next month for BBC Radio 1xtra’s Live London at Brixton’s O2 Academy, but tickets are long sold out [via RWD]. Don’t be surprised to see more European dates added in the coming months.

Checked this mixtape of the samples from Good Kid yet? You should.
