The Compton-born musician recently opened up about what it means to represent his hometown through his music.

"I never had to put Compton on the map, but you know it's beautiful to put Compton in a new light," he said, adding, "You hear 'Bad Habit' and Compton is not associated with sounds like that. When they think of Compton they go straight gangster. It's more than that."

The 2023 Grammys, led by return host Trevor Noah, featured incredible performances from some of music's biggest stars, including Harry Styles, Bad Bunny, JAY-Z, Sam Smith, Brandi Carlile, Mary J. Blige, Steve Lacy, Lizzo, Kim Petras, Luke Combs, John Legend, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Chris Stapleton, DJ Khaled, Fridayy, Kacey Musgraves, Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder and Bonnie Raitt.
