Kendrick Lamar and SZA Headline Watts Christmas Concert for Charity

A star-studded lineup of hip-hop and R&B artists, including Kendrick Lamar and SZA, will perform at the 11th Annual TDE Christmas Concert & Toy Drive + Community Giveback in Watts.

This charitable event, hosted by Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE), will take place Thursday afternoon at the Nickerson Gardens Housing Projects.

The concert aims to bring joy to the local community, with gates opening at 11 a.m. and the main event kicking off at 2:30 p.m.

Entry to the concert requires attendees to donate unwrapped toys, which will benefit the residents of Nickerson Gardens.

The event will feature an impressive lineup of TDE artists, including Ab-Soul, ScHoolboy Q, Jay Rock, Isaiah Rashad, SiR, Ray Vaughn, Zacari, Doechii, Kal Banx, and others. There will also be special guests joining the festivities.

Although the concert was briefly delayed due to crowd control issues, the event remains a highly anticipated occasion for both music lovers and those looking to give back this holiday season.
