The Meet The Whoops clan went on to perform at Kendrick Lamar’s celebrated The Pop Out: Ken & Friends Juneteenth concert.

Hitta made his debut on the Billboard chart after appearing on Kendrick’s GNX album, which made history by being the first-ever album to have three number one spots on Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop songs.
