Kendrick Lamar and Tanna Leone have actually collaborated in the past. The latter appeared on the song “Mr. Morale” from Lamar’s Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers (2022). The song was praised by critics, and Leone was even nominated for a Grammy for his appearance. Leone, real name Avante Santana, is also from Los Angeles, California. He signed with pgLang in 2022, and appeared in the company’s campaign for Converse. He also opened for Lamar’s cousin, Baby Keem, during the Melodic Blue Tour.
Unsurprisingly, Tanna Leone and Kendrick Lamar share a lot of musical influences. Both rappers bow at the altar of Tupac, as evidenced by Leone’s interview with Complex. “‘Pac for sure [and] DMX,” he said when asked his favorite artists. “My mom had a crazy CD collection. I was always the first one to get home, so the first thing I would do after I came in the door was go straight to the CDs. I would put on Tupac’s Greatest Hits.” There’s no word on whether “Peter Pan” will appear on a Tanna Leone or a Kendrick Lamar album, but either way, we’re glad to hear a piece of it.
