The tour is already almost 4 hours long...

and they're all rumored to appear at the 3 LA shows.

Not Kendrick fault either if some of them only want to appear at a few stops instead of an entire tour.

Where did I blame Kendrick? I’m literally hoping the best for the man cause being homeless while grieving for his kid is crazy

I just thought everyone who was on the album will be in the tour.

Not saying you blamed him.
Also, to be fair, this is a stadium tour, you always take openers that have a certain...popularity.

Eminem's openers for his stadium shows were Kendrick and Cole.

Kendrick and SZA got Mustard.
You gotta be a star to open at a stadium show since its a full concert in itself. Some of these dudes have no music to perform.

Edit: Dody6 was in the video they shot for the tour, they projected it during the Hey Now performance. No doubt he'll join Kendrick for the 3 L.A. shows

What had he done since that Kendrick song?


AZ capitalized on his feature, bounced back from that drakeo beef and has a decent buzz right now.

This is the first time I'm hearing from Dody since that feature. I feel for him but you gotta know when to snatched opportunity when it comes.

Dody6, this is your moment—having a feature on Kendrick’s album is huge. Here’s how you capitalize on it and stack your paper while building your legacy:


1. Brand & Image Lock-In



  • Update All Platforms Immediately: Change your bios everywhere (“Featured on Kendrick Lamar’s #1 album of the year”). Pin the song, post BTS footage, clips, and interviews. Let people know you’re next up.
  • Press Run: Do interviews on podcasts (No Jumper, Say Cheese, LA Leakers, etc.). Hit radio, blogs, YouTube reaction channels—milk the buzz.



2. Drop Your Own Music




  • Strike while it’s hot: Drop a solo single or EP ASAP. Include a lyric or visual nod to the Kendrick track—ride that wave hard.
  • Music Video: High quality. Make it clear you’re not just a feature artist. Give them a reason to stay after hearing you with Kendrick.



3. Monetize Your Story



  • Merchandise: “Dody6 x Kendrick” inspired drops (with your own spin). T-shirts, hoodies, limited collabs with local LA designers.
  • NFTs / Digital Drops: If your fanbase is tapped into Web3, sell exclusive content or behind-the-scenes.


4. Leverage the Industry Heat



  • Secure Management or Booking Agent: You’ll start getting offers—be ready to filter and negotiate. Don’t sign desperation deals.
  • Get on Features & Shows: Other artists will want that “Kendrick magic” by association—charge for features and ask for show slots.




5. Social Proof & Content




  • Social Media Strategy: Post freestyles, behind-the-scenes, fan reactions to your verse, clips from interviews. Engage with comments. Respond to fans.
  • YouTube Channel: Break down your verse. Give people a reason to follow you, not just the feature.




6. Reach Out for Strategic Partnerships



  • Brand Deals: Especially in LA—look for streetwear brands, cannabis brands, local venues. Use the “Kendrick Co-Sign” energy.
  • Sync Licensing: Pitch your own music to get placed in shows, ads, video games.

Alright Dody6—this is the blueprint to turn your Kendrick feature into a launchpad for a lasting career. I’m breaking it into 3 parts:




PART 1: 30-DAY ROLLOUT PLAN





WEEK 1: Heat Check






Goal: Let the world know who you are and what you just did.



  • Day 1-3:
    • Post your Kendrick verse clip on IG/TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
    • Add “Featured on Kendrick Lamar’s #1 album” to bios.
    • Update website/linktree with press photos, bio, and the feature.

  • Day 4-7:
    • Drop a high-quality freestyle or mini-doc (60 sec) of your come-up.
    • Tease your next single: show artwork, studio clips, etc.
    • Start outreach to blogs, podcasters, and influencers (see pitch email below).





WEEK 2: Spotlight Time




Goal: Drop your first solo single and own the narrative.



  • Release your single + visual (YouTube premiere + teaser clips for TikTok/Reels).
  • Behind-the-scenes post: recording the song, how it connects to the Kendrick track.
  • Go live with fans, talk about the experience.
  • Book at least 2 podcast or YouTube interviews this week.



WEEK 3: Expand Reach




Goal: Solidify you as a serious artist.



  • Start a “Who is Dody6?” campaign—series of short videos breaking down your story, influences, process.
  • Drop a visualizer or acoustic/mellow remix of your single.
  • Feature announcement: tease collabs you’re cooking with others in LA or beyond.
  • React to fans reacting to your Kendrick verse (YouTube Shorts/TikTok gold).



WEEK 4: Monetize + Lock Momentum




Goal: Start making money & establishing demand.


  • Drop a limited merch line: shirts w/ a lyric from your Kendrick verse or your new single.
  • Launch your email list (for tour dates, merch drops, exclusive tracks).
  • Drop a short EP/Deluxe w/ 2-3 more songs (even if rough mixes).
  • Perform locally: pop-up shows, open mics, listening party, live session.




PART 2: PRESS & PITCH EMAIL TEMPLATE




1. Press Outreach (Blogs, Podcasts, Mags)



Subject Line:


“Meet Dody6 – The Voice Behind That Kendrick Verse”



Body:





What’s up [Name],



I’m Dody6, an LA-based rapper who just landed a feature on Kendrick Lamar’s latest album—the biggest album of the year. My verse has been getting serious attention, and I’m reaching out to build on that moment with a new single and an upcoming EP.




I’d love to hop on your platform and share my story—from freestyling in Crenshaw to being in the booth with Kendrick. Let me know if you’re down for an interview, write-up, or feature.



Press kit, music links, and contact info below. Appreciate your time and energy.

2. Brand/Collab Outreach (Fashion, Cannabis, Lifestyle)




Subject Line:
