Dr. Dre & Kendrick Lamar Cover XXL Magazine's 15th Anniversary Issue

Dr. Dre and Kendrick Lamar have joined forces to appear on the cover of XXL magazine's 15th anniversary issue.

According to the publication, the story sees K. Dot discussing his upcoming album good kid, m.A.A.d city, his family's violent tendencies and more, while Dre bigs up his abilities and brands him the future of rap.

“I don’t have a crystal ball, but I believe that [Kendrick] has the potential to do some really incredible great things–things that are gonna make the veterans raise their eyebrows," said Dre.

Kendrick Lamar confirms that Black Hippy will make an appearance on his upcoming LP.

Kendrick Lamar is at work on his major label debut good kid, m.A.A.d city, releasing October 2nd. While he's worked with Gunplay and Dr. Dre on a few pre-album leaks, K. Dot says that guest features will be kept to a minimum on the project, explaining to CBC Music that the LP will be organic and that no collaborations will be forced.

“I’m selfish – it’s all me,” he said. “I’ve got to pick what feels right. I never go into it thinking, ‘I want to get these people on there.’ No, I don’t force nothing and right now it’s turning out to be all me.”

He did confirm that his Black Hippy crew, which also includes ScHoolboy Q, Ab-Soul and Jay Rock, will make appearances on the album.
