Funaro, Vincent (12. 1. 2015). „'We're in the Last Days, I Truly in My Heart Believe That,' Says Kendrick Lamar”. The Christian Post. Приступљено 15. 9. 2015. „Lamar exploded on the hip-hop scene in 2012 when he released his critically acclaimed album Good Kid M.A.A.D City. It became an instant classic among many listeners and his follow-up is expected out some time this year even though no release date has been confirmed. The debut featured a good amount of Christian content, including a skit where Kendrick and his friends are baptized into the faith by proclaiming Jesus Christ as their Savior. Toward the end of last year he released the first single off the album titled "i" which also touches on Christian faith.”
„Kendrick Lamar: "All I Am Is a Vessel, Doing His Work."”. Relevant Magazine. 16. 3. 2015. Приступљено 15. 9. 2015. „He talks about how he became a Christian (a friend's grandmother led him to Christ in the parking lot of a Food 4 Less), his vices (or lack thereof—he "rarely" drinks or smokes) and how he perceives himself. For many fans, "I'm the closest thing to a preacher that they have," Mr. Lamar, 27, said from the couch of a Santa Monica studio where he recorded much of the new album. "I know that from being on tour – kids are living by my music." However, he added: "My word will never be as strong as God's word. All I am is just a vessel, doing his work."”
