Kendrick Lamar has announced a special, one-off performance at the Kennedy Center with the National Symphony Orchestra. On October 20, Lamar and the NSO will perform cuts from his album To Pimp a Butterfly; it'll be the rapper's first orchestral collaboration, as the Washington Post reports.

Lamar's performance follows on the heels of Nas (who performed Illmatic with the NSO last year to celebrate its twentieth anniversary) and Phish's Trey Anastasio (who took the stage with the NSO in 2013).
