After streaming out his new "i" single yesterday (September 23), Kendrick Lamar has delivered a lengthy on-air freestyle that finds the wordsmith working his flow above a series of familiar beats.

During an appearance on California radio station Power 106's Big Boy's Neighborhood program, the King of Compton was asked to freestyle. This led to a six-minute onslaught of bars that had Lamar delivering a gas station-set narrative above James Brown's "The Boss," repping Top Dawg and how he runs rap atop Jay Z's "Who You Wit" and more.

You'll find the hip-hop figure having fun with the freestyle format, and cracking up watching host Big Boy delivering a few bars of his own, in the video down below. Also, at the bottom of the page, you can watch the full interview.
