The online equivalent of a ‘Before They Were Famous’ feature in a magazine, the first-ever mixtape from hip-hop’s brightest star Kendrick Lamar has surfaced online.

The collection, known as Youngest Head Nigga In Charge, features 11 tracks recorded back in 2003 when the protege was just 16.

You can stream it below and download it here. Lamar has since released one of the most acclaimed debuts in hip-hop, while working with the likes of Jay-Z.
