Charlamagne tha God, the host of the "Breakfast Club" radio show, has said he believes Kendrick Lamar and Kodak Black are on the same level as rappers.
"Not just as a personality but as a rapper, as an artist. The thing that warms my heart the most is I know these true hip-hop heads be like, 'Ah, Kodak Black.'
"I look at Kodak Black the same way I look at Kendrick Lamar."
Charlamagne added: "I'm not even joking. I feel like they're both two different levels of prolific and they're telling similar stories, just from different places. They are just two different versions of the same kid from the hood."
The Florida rapper has a guest verse on "Silent Hill," which peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100, while he also has uncredited appearances on "Worldwide Steppers," "Rich (Interlude)," and "Mirror."

During an interview with Spotify at Rolling Loud Miami in August, Kodak showed his appreciation to Kendrick for having him feature on the album.
"He puts me on game," he said, per HipHopDX. "We could have just did the song and it never came out, but he went as far as having me speak on the intro, the interludes and all this other stuff, having me do a poem on there. He already know where my intellect go."
He added: "You know, Kendrick from the streets for real, too. I fuck with that boy, I got a lot of love for him."
