A previously unreleased Kendrick Lamar track ‘Hub City’s Wild Side’ surfaces online

A previously unreleased track by Kendrick Lamar titled ‘Hub City’s Wild Side’ has surfaced online.
As pointed out by Consequence of Sound, the newly unearthed track is believed to be a song recorded between 2008-9 when Kendrick Lamar used his K-Dot moniker. The track, therefore, precedes his 2010 ‘Overly Dedicated’ mixtape and remains one of the few early recordings the rapper made when in Compton.
There’s no information on the producer T.Dot Fasheeze, but commentators on Reddit channel hiphopheads have joked that it’s Taylor Swift.
