$200K Donation to 20 L.A. Charities.

Kendrick Lamar’s Juneteenth “Pop Out” concert wasn’t just a celebration of West Coast hip-hop—it was a celebration of community, unity, and purpose. The Compton native and his creative company pgLang joined forces with Free Lunch, Tim Hinshaw, and an all-star lineup of artists to create a moment that continues to echo beyond the stage.

“Not only did the DAMN. MC unite the city’s musical talents for a memorable one-night affair, but his altruism also rang through, courtesy of the $200,000 donation he, pgLang, Tim Hinshaw’s Free Lunch and participating artists made to 20 L.A.-based charities and city community initiatives.”

“We haven’t seen this type of Unity on the West since we lost our brother Nipsey Hussle,” said Free Lunch founder Tim Hinshaw. “As Dot said on stage, this moment was bigger than a back and forth; it was about supporting each other and showing the world that we could come together for a greater cause.”

From the Compton G.irls Club to Alma Backyard Farms and the Social Justice Learning Institute, each of the 20 organizations selected plays a crucial role in uplifting underserved communities across Los Angeles.

“We would like to thank pgLang and Free Lunch for recognizing their roots and supporting g.irls from the hood. It’s refreshing to know that Kendrick always comes back to the community to support the next generation,” said Chrystani Heinrich, founder of Compton G.irls Club.

The Juneteenth Pop Out brought legends and rising stars together: Dr. Dre, Tyler, the Creator, Mustard, Steve Lacy, DJ Hed, Ty Dolla $ign, and others took the stage in front of a charged crowd, showcasing the full force of L.A.’s cultural power.

“The Pop Out concert had a significant impact on the city, unifying West Coast hip-hop, providing a platform for emerging talent, celebrating Black culture, and revitalizing the local music scene,” said Mustard. “It garnered global attention but also allowed us artists to give back to different programs based around South L.A. and put L.A. back in the driver’s seat for music, something that’s been long overdue.”

This wasn’t just a concert—it was a movement. And its ripple effect will continue to empower youth, support families, and inspire future generations across Los Angeles.

Kendrick Lamar and his team have once again shown that real power comes not just from performance but from purpose. The Juneteenth Pop Out wasn’t merely a show—it was a call to action. In an era often marked by division, this was a defining moment of unity, rooted in love for community and respect for legacy. If more artists followed Kendrick’s lead—bridging artistry with altruism—the world, not just Los Angeles, would be better for it.
