Leaker claims Kendrick wrote Jay Rock's verse on Money Trees

[We Ready]

Along with a bunch of other stuff


In the week before Kendrick Lamar's new album a leaker has come forth and posted multiple snippets of writing refs. Kendrick Lamar made Baby Keem. He claims he purchased these songs from someone in TDE's camp who has been selling these songs to multiple people, which is why he has made these public.

The following video has the snippets posted, with Kendrick doing writing refs for

• Jay Rock - Kings Dead
• Khalid - The Ways
• Baby Keem - So What
• Baby Keem - BULLIES
• Baby Keem - 16

He also claims he has refs for many TDE artists including refs. for 90095, Redemption, Blank Face & CrasH Talk, He's specificially mentioned these Baby Keem tracks aswell

• Money Trees (Jay Rocks Verse)
• Baby Keem - Gang Activities
• Baby Keem - Opinions
• Baby Keem - A New Day
• Baby Keem - STATS
• Baby Keem - ROCKSTAR P
• Baby Keem - BUSS HER UP
• Baby Keem - NOT MY BRO

I've screenshotted the credits of each Baby Keem song mentioned via Spotify Credits and at this time none of the songs have writing credits for Kendrick









If true, I guess Kendrick bodied himself on Money Trees

 

[Big Boss]

Not surprised

I'm pretty sure this happens a lot when rappers are in the same camp

Plus Keem and Kendrick are cousins

I’m impressed… “so what” is hard as hell. I heard it some years ago.

 

[Ziggiy]

Kendrick is a fukking genius if he can basically create an entire new lane for another artist like Keem.


I know it happens in music all the time but I’d personally be embarrassed as fukk if another person had to basically write, create the concepts for, and craft the flows for my whole goddamn career. What the HELL are you doing music for?


Couldn’t be me. And if I was the other artist i’d want credits for everything I wrote. The ghostwriting shyt is getting ridiculous

 

[bordeaux]

U can hear his influence all over jay rocks last album. too much imo.

 

[Mystic]

So Kendrick's homeboy domed a nikka? Which nikka ins the question?

 

[Sauce Dab]

He ain’t dropped an album in 5 years but he never stopped working. So now we know what he’s been doing. Going by Kings dead that’s more of a reference track than just straight up ghostwriting.

 

[CoolinInTheCut]

I have had some of the Keem reference tracks by Kendrick for a while now. I been in the leak game for a few years now chasing Detox ghosts.

This Jay Rock stuff is news to me though. Really interesting stuff.

I wonder if this guy is the same guy from a few years back who said the Dont Kill My Vibe remix had a couple features on it before they got the Hov verse and took everyone off it.

the rollout begins

I definitely can believe he wrote some of Jay's early shyt and you're right. But, it's hard to tell when they seem to all fukk with the same ppl, musically.

It's like, who's influencing who.

I still think Jay Rock is dope.

 

[WaveGang]

This is non news

 

[tuckgod]

I need that full Kendrick kings dead joint.

My heart knew it was know way that mush mouth ass nikka Jay-Rock could’ve got that cold out the blue.

 

[spliz]

I don’t believe the Jay Rock shyt at all. To me it’s the Andre 3K shyt they tryna do wit this nikka.

shyt if the money rolling in, I could do it. Keem's a performer first, rapper second. He's basically a Pop act. Now the Jay Rock thing is different, but I believe Kendrick was just setting the theme for the song more than anything.
