Kendrick Lamar, SZA, and a slew of other hip-hop legends hit the stage in Los Angeles for a great cause.
On Thursday, December 18, Top Dawg Entertainment held its 12th annual TDE Christmas Concert and Toy Drive at Nickerson Gardens in Watts, Calif. The lineup included TDE's roster of dope artists like Doechii, Ab-Soul, Jay Rock, ScHoolboy Q, Ray Vaughn, and "special guests." One of those special guests was Kendrick Lamar. K.Dot popped out at the end of the night along with SZA to perform their hit collaborations, "luther" and "30 For 30," along with other songs like "squabble up."
Kendrick Lamar wasn't the only surprise guest who showed up to the annual event. Earlier in the day, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre pulled up to the set and performed a couple of their hit collaborations like "The Next Episode" and Dre's verse on 2Pac's "California Love." Singer Mario also appeared at the function to support TDE. He hit the stage and performed hits like "Let Me Love You" and more. In addition, R&B queen Monica came through to perform fresh off her renowned "The Boy Is Mine Tour" with Brandy.
TDE's annual Christmas Concert and Toy Drive has always featured performances by the iconic record label's roster and community events that the entire family can enjoy. However, this year's event was full of way more star power than ever before. Check out more scenes from the wildly successful show below.
