Kendrick shocked fans with an emotionally-driven Grammys performance last night (February 15).

For his performance, Lamar walked onstage as part of a chain gang while his band performed inside jail cells for his song “The Blacker the Berry.” He transitioned into “Alright” in front of a giant bonfire before debuting a new song about “modern-day slavery” and ending his performance with a map of Africa behind him with “Compton” written across it.
