The Hip-Hop Scholar Visual Essay-KDot and SZAA Fan’s Testimony: Part I – In the Presence
By Melanie, The Hip-Hop Scholar
A visual essay created from my own images and reflections after attending the final U.S. show of the Kendrick Lamar & SZA tour—held at Northwest Stadium in Washington, D.C. on June 18, 2025.
All visuals were captured by me from the floor as a fan, a witness, and an admirer of the moment.

This is a personal reflection—an homage to the brilliance, futurism, and raw power of the performance.
Special thanks and deep respect to:-Kendrick Lamar (K.Dot)-SZA-DJ Mustard-The dancers, designers, visual artists, and tour team
