Producer DJ Dahi brings together Kendrick Lamar and R&B vocalist Amber Mark for “How To Pray,” a standalone track off Dahi’s debut album, Black Boy (Alternative). Known for crafting iconic beats like Lamar’s “Money Trees,” Dahi delivers a rich, introspective instrumental canvas that effortlessly anchors the entire record.
Kendrick Lamar trades intense cadence for a melodic, introspective flow, weaving themes of spirituality, personal growth, and emotional intimacy. His verses blur the line between romantic devotion and a call to a higher power, demonstrating his ongoing willingness to push stylistic boundaries on guest appearances.
Amber Mark elevates the track with her lush vocals, providing a seamless counterweight to Lamar’s verses. Her soulful delivery grounds the chorus and hooks, giving the record a warm, atmospheric texture that bridges classic hip-hop storytelling with contemporary alternative R&B.
First previewed on Donald Glover’s GILGA Radio show, “How To Pray” highlights the strong creative synergy between Dahi and his longtime collaborators. The release marks a standout moment in Dahi’s transition from legendary producer to project frontman.
