The Winter 2014 issue of XXL is a special one. Not because it’s the first to drop under the new ownership of Townsquare Media, but because there’s also the cover subject: Kendrick Lamar. This is the first time K.Dot has graced the front of XXL by himself after one appearance as part of the 2011 XXL Freshmen Class, another time with Dr. Dre in 2012, and most recently, with his Top Dawg Ent. crew in 2013.
