He said his feud with Drake came "more from a space of more people putting rap to the back" Hip-hop, a genre which has been around for 50 years , has a long history of protest.

Kendrick is passionate about rap as an art form and wants to defend and celebrate the genre.

Kendrick 's success will shine a light on battle rap, but he acknowledges emerging rappers are finding new ways to cut their teeth.

Layyah , the first female rapper to win The Rap Game UK , is Team Kendrick , but doesn't plan on following his example.
