Kendrick Lamar continues to branch out of Rap. Today, he lands a feature on duo Quadron’s latest single ‘Better Off’ which is from their upcoming album Avalanche, due on June 4th via Culture/Epic Records. Quadron is a Danish duo made of Robin Hannibal and Coco O who primarily record Electronic Soul music. Here’s what they said about the collaboration:

We only have one feature on our new album, and we are elated that it’s Kendrick Lamar. He invited us to collaborate on his own album, and we had such a great time working with him that we asked him if he wanted to be part of our project as well. We are so happy for all his success and we are very proud of this song. We wanted to have more of a fluid song that wasn’t too over structured and had a bit of a bedroom/after hours vibe to it.
