Kendrick Lamar has announced the “The Pop Out: Ken & Friends” Juneteenth concert in L.A.

With Juneteenth around the corner, Los Angeles is in for one memorable celebration thanks to Kendrick Lamar and the pGLang family as Mr. Morale has announced he will host a concert and bring some special friends with him.

According to an official press release, the Pop Out will take place on June 19 (Juneteenth) and will kick off at 4 p.m. local time.  The concert is via Rotation—the hip-hop and R&B brand from Amazon Music—which will be streaming the sold-out concert from the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on Juneteenth (June 19). Presented by pgLang and Free Lunch, the stream will start at 4 p.m. PT and air on the Amazon Music channel on Twitch and Prime Video.

Amazon reports that the livestream coincides with “Forever the Influence,” the celebration of Black Music Month from Amazon Music honoring the contributions of Black artists, producers, and songwriters who have defined culture. Amazon Music will announce additional Amazon Music Originals and video content from the most influential Black artists for “Forever the Influence” in the coming weeks.

In the aftermath of Kendrick’s back and forth with Drake the world has been eager to hear him perform “Not Like Us.”

As it stands, the song is the early contender for song of the summer, and it’s not showing any indication of slowing down.

What better gift to Los Angeles than hearing it live for the first time on the Freedom Day holiday?

Tickets for the event hit Ticketmaster this Friday at 10 a.m. while Cash App Cardholders get access one day earlier by using the first nine digits of their card.

Recent rumors suggest that Kendrick Lamar has also been working on a new project so hopefully, new music will follow the show.
