Following the release of Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers , Kendrick Lamar announced earlier this year that the album would be his last under contract with Top Dawg Entertainment . People wondered how this would affect the label moving forward now that their biggest artist is gone, but it looks like TDE already has its next big player: Ray Vaughn. Vaughn hails from Long Beach City, California but briefly lived in Arizona before relocating to Palm Springs. Last year, TDE announced Vaughn as its newest artist. And this year he’ll be featured in a cypher at the BET Hip Hop Awards .
