On the music side of things, Kendrick appears to be working on a new album, which Terrace Martin has been fueling excitement for.
The Los Angeles-based producer was on Instagram Live earlier this week when he shared his enthusiasm for the Compton native’s next project, claiming it will help solidify the West Coast’s place at the top in the rap game.
When a fan commented on his stream, saying that “the West Coast about to return to the Mecca of Hip Hop,” the multi-instrumentalist responded: “We always been the Mecca, bro. We take a little break sometimes. We gotta take breaks to let the other people have a little bit. We back, though.”

He then hyped up Kung-Fu Kenny’s upcoming music as well as future releases from YG, Roddy Ricch and West Coast icon Mustard.
“Aye, let me tell y’all the records I’m excited for. I’m excited for YG’s album, I’m excited for Mustard’s album. I’m excited for a lot of people, but there’s two albums, I’m going crazy, I can’t wait ’til they drop,” he said.
