Kendrick Lamar To Perform At 2018 Grammys [PEEP]

Being one of the leading nominees at this year’s Grammys, it’s only right that Kendrick Lamar performs at “Music’s Biggest Night.” The 7-time Grammy winner is reportedly going to be performing at this year’s event in New York City.

The reports that are swirling state that Kung-Fu Kenny will open the show up with a powerful, surprise performance, where he is expected to do a ‘DAMN.’ medley of songs. If the reports are true this would be the third time he’s hitting the Grammy stage after performing “Alright” and “The Blacker the Berry” in 2016 and doing an intense set with Imagine Dragons in 2014.

K. Dot’s 2018 nominations include Album of the Year, Best Rap Album, Best Rap Performance, Best Rap Song, Record of the Year, Best Rap/Sung Performance, and Best Music Video.

Other performers at this year’s Grammys include Bruno Mars, U2, SZA, Elton John, Cardi B, Sam Smith, Alessia Cara, and more.
