The rapper faces off with the actor in the song featured on his new album DAMN.
Days after hitting the world with the masterpiece known as DAMN, Kendrick Lamar dropped the second video from a song off his album.
In his fresh video for “DNA,” the 29-year-old enlists the help of acting great Don Cheadle to play an overzealous detective who’s possessed by Kendrick’s spirit when trying to grill him with a lie detector test.
“Kendrick Lamar, two first names, huh,” Cheadle’s character says when entering the room. “What the f**k is up with that?”
