Freshman Hayden Pittman is currently listening to “Loyalty” by Kendrick Lamar.

The song is important to Hayden because it reminds him of his childhood.

“My stepdad used to listen to [‘Loyalty’] all the time,” Pittman said. 

“Loyalty” has an interesting intro with a catchy beat and chopped vocals. The song repeats the words “Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty” in the chorus, stressing the importance of the trait to Lamar. 

The song sends a good message while being up-beat and fun to listen to.

Kendrick Lamar began his career under the name K-dot. Lamar caught hip-hop producer Dr. Dre’s attention and soon his albums received recognition. 

His biggest accomplishment is his album “DAMN.,” the first hip-hop album to receive the Pulitzer prize.
