“Yesterday, somebody whacked out my mural/That energy’ll make you n—as move to Europe,” were the first bars we heard from Kendrick on the intro track from his latest album GNX right after mariachi singer Deyra Barrera set the table with her beautiful voice in an effort for Lamar to showcase the full range of Southern California’s street culture.

The mural the Compton rapper was referring to was painted on the side of Tam’s Burgers — the burger joint featured in his “Not Like Us” video — and was painted by artist Mike Norice. According to Norice on his Instagram, he recorded a video of the defaced mural and said it happened after a Dodgers game.

However, he also could’ve been talking about another mural painted by artists Sloe Motion and Gustavo Zermeño Jr. earlier this summer on the back of a Honduran restaurant Mi Sabor on Rosecrans in Compton that’s now been defaced multiple times. Sloe Motion reposted a XXL IG post about the mural and commented on the post, writing, “I was one of the artist who painted the mural and the guy who blacked out the Kendrick face literally just made it worse.”

Back in November, they shared an IG Reel featuring security footage of a vandal defacing the mural and referred to the song “wacced out murals” along with a caption that read:

“A couple months ago our Kendrick mural got hit. Of course we were pissed and wanted to fix it but it just kept getting worse. Flash forward to today and Kendrick drops a song about the situation. It doesn’t necessarily make it ok but it does feel good to have our hard work for the community immortalized in a song by one of the greatest to ever do it. Thank you @kendricklamar for making this situation a little better today.” 

The aforementioned Barrera, spoke to Billboard about her involvement in Lamar’s surprise album and talked about being invited by Norice to be featured on an upcoming episode of his YouTube series Art & Soul centered around the mural

“The artist who made that painting spoke to me. His name is Mike Norice,” she told deputy editor of Billboard Español Sigal Ratner-Arias in quotes that didn’t make the interview. “I don’t know if you know a little bit about what happened when he did that painting, that it was scratched, vandalized, from Kendrick’s previous album, and because of that  Kendrick made the song ‘Wacced Out Murals,’ the first song of the album where I appear.”

Adding, “Then the artist invited me to be there. It was something very nice, because somehow we connected and we have that in common. There’s a documentary coming out of the artist who made that painting, so soon it’s going to come out. Very cool to be there, because we both, in some way, have that in common with Kendrick.”
