WizKid is in good company. He was photographed backstage with the main attraction, Kendrick Lamar at the HMV Hammersmith Apollo (London) on January 20. 

These two have somethings in common and we hope they stay friends because Wizkid who is new in the game will pick up some great career tips from his buddy, Lamar.

Lamar began writing rhymes when he was 13. For three years he went through the process of studying the likes of Jay-Z, Biggie and Nas, all the while finding his own sound. In the summer of 2002 when he turned 16, he stepped in a recording booth for the first time. It was there that he not only found his voice, but a safe haven from the violent gang wars going on in his neighborhood as well.
