Kendrick Lamar has announced a short set of UK dates for Summer.

The Compton rapper, whose Good Kid, m.A.A.d. City was FACT’s favourite album of last year and earned Lamar top spot on MTV’s Hottest MCs list, will be touching down in Birmingham (O2 Academy, July 8), Manchester (O2, July 9) and Leeds (O2, July 10). Unlesss more dates are added – which is a distinct possibility – London fans will have to brave that month’s Wireless Festival to see the good kid in the flesh. Tickets, which go on sale this Friday April 12, are available here [via Dummy].
