THE GRAMMYS

Witness Greatness

The 2016 Witness Greatness campaign wanted to celebrate a rising star named kendrick Lamar. So we headed to his hometown of Compton, to capture real residents on the streets singing along to his anthem Alright, nominated for Best Rap Song that year. ‘Compton’ became more than a film— it was a powerful tribute to Kendrick’s lasting impact on music, culture, and social change.
