Lehman and Zechory refocused, and in July 2014, eight months after the National Music Publishers’ Association issued a takedown notice for hosting lyrics without permission, Genius secured a licensing deal with Warner/Chappell Music, the last piece in the publishing puzzle after earlier deals with /ATV, Universal Music Publishing Group and the NMPA’s stable of 3,000 publishers. Soon after, the company raised $40 million in a funding round led by Quicken Loans founder and Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert. , Pharrell Williams and most recently are also investors. Genius’ reach is impressive, with the site’s traic surpassing 45 million monthly unique visitors in January. But as Genius expands beyond its own borders, it faces new challenges in engaging a more mainstream audience. “Lyrics evoke an emotional bond, and that’s what every brand marketer is looking to do,” says Crossfade Partners founder Jon Vanhala. “There’s a lot of opportunity, but it will be interesting to see: Do people want this?” Indeed, the company has yet to turn a proit. It doesn’t sell ads, and Zechory admits Genius is still building its revenue operation with the expectation that further integrations will pave the road to proitability. “We don’t want to just slap the traditional web display ads that you see on other lyric sites,” says Zechory. “Having brands pay for really cool content and support new features — I think we can do it in a really thoughtful way.” Sources tell Billboard the company has had talks with , Coca-Cola, SoundCloud and YouTube, although Genius declined to comment. “The big goal is to take Genius and put it at your ingertips wherever you experience music,” says Lehman. “But even more broadly, wherever you experience art or culture or media.”

“If you have brothers, this film is going to make sense to you,” says Jonas of Goat.

Jonas (center) and his fraternity brothers take it too far in Goat.

I initiated. There were a couple of months where we had to figure out how to just have a relationship outside of our work. It took time. It was a real thing. Everything’s fine [in Goat] with Brett and Brad until Brad pledges the fraternity — then we have to learn how to be brothers in a new environment. If you have brothers, or people close enough that you would call them brothers, this film is going to make sense to you.

Goat has some hard-to-watch scenes. Which was the most difficult to film? The scene where we pull Brad out of his dorm and make him eat shit in the bathroom. That was really hard — just real sadistic and twisted.

But also, I want to Nick Jonas Goes make it very clear that this is not an indictment of fraternity culture. Similar situations happen in the sports setting — there’s hazing there too.

44 BILLBOARD | DATE XX, 2016 KENDRICK LAMAR IS WEARING BLACK sandals and white socks. It’s not a look that you associate with rappers — or with anyone, really, except possibly Alpine butterly hunters. And yet here is Lamar, striding socks-and-sandals-irst through a studio that sprawls across the second loor of a funkily dilapidated warehouse building just east of downtown Los Angeles. Lamar has come to this scrufy corner of the city’s Arts District for a photo shoot. Someone turns on a stereo, blasting a playlist Lamar chose himself, a mix of vintage soul and old-school hip-hop: Bill Withers’ “Harlem,” Rick James’ “Give It to Me Baby,” De La Soul’s “Me, Myself and I,” 2Pac’s “All on Me.” Lamar sits down in front of a mirror to get a quick haircut from one of his friends, who has brought along an electric trimmer. Another of Lamar’s friends pipes up: “Those are some interesting huaraches, Kendrick. I didn’t know you wore sandals.” Lamar chuckles. Maybe, someone suggests, Lamar will start a new footwear trend. The rapper grins. “This look?” he says. “No one can make it trendy.” Perhaps not. But then again, the story of Lamar’s career is one of improbable trendsetting — of transforming the marginal into the popular, of smuggling counterculture into the cultural mainstream. He was a darling of the cognoscenti — the leading light of the Los Angeles-based Black Hippy collective, a favorite of rap-Internet nerds — before his 2012 major-label debut catapulted him aboveground and made him a star. That album, Good Kid, M.A.A.D City, was riveting and ambitious, a gang- sta bildungsroman about Compton street life whose cinematic sweep justiied its heady subtitle: “A short ilm by Kendrick Lamar.” His second album aimed even higher. To Pimp a Buttery, released last March, is a monument to maximalism, based, seemingly, on a determination to Lamar photographed cram in as much music, as many ideas and Dec. 30, 2015, in Los Angeles. emotions, as its 78:51 running time will bear.

James Brown and James Baldwin. It was a self-conscious tour de force, and an undeniable one, instantly canonized by critics. It reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and has sold 797,000 copies and counting, according to Nielsen Music. To Pimp a Buttery has elevated Lamar, a diminutive (5-foot-5) 28-year-old who raps in a cartoon pirate’s rasp, to a plateau that few musicians attain. He is not just pop’s most acclaimed artist. He is the de facto leader of a left-ield movement that is galvanizing hip-hop. He has stepped into the heroic-prophetic role previously occupied by some of American music’s most illustrious igures: in 1967, Marvin Gaye in 1971, Chuck D in 1989. In fact, the arrival of To Pimp a Buttery at a moment of intense national reckoning with issues of racial justice has made Lamar the kind of music idol who transcends music. To be sure, he’s a fearsome rapper, capable of out-spitting anyone alive. But he also is an existentialist bard whose work can sit comfortably alongside acclaimed literary voices of present-day black protest, writers like Claudia Rankine and Ta-Nehisi Coates. Perhaps most surprising: Lamar is the toast of the music biz. On Feb. 15, the indus- try will gather for the 58th annual Grammy Awards at Los Angeles’ , just 14 miles due north of Compton. Lamar goes into the ceremony with 11 nominations, one shy of Michael Jackson’s record dozen in the post-Thriller year of 1984. Those nomina- tions represent the unlikely consensus that has formed around Lamar, uniting bizzers and bohemians, Taylor Swift and Black Lives Matter protestors. The recognition is “long overdue,” says Pharrell Williams, who co-wrote and co-produced “Alright,” which is up for four Grammys. “His music is a part of the conversation,” he adds, credit- ing Lamar’s “fresh approach” to addressing “exhausted subjects.” Says Lamar: “The album just had a deeper impact than I expected, because it touched so many homes, and not just in my own community. I guess I’m just speaking words that need to be heard in these times.”

LAMAR IS AN AMIABLE GUY WITH A about his desire to run the table at the “I have to take full quick smile, but he’s at his most efusive awards. “I want to win them all,” he says. advantage of my talent or else it’s a sin, onstage and in the recording booth.

It’s a sin as big the spotlight, in the company of strangers, 2014, Lamar received seven Grammy as killing a man, that’s how I think.” Above: he can be diident; glad-handing isn’t his nominations. He was shut out. In three Lamar wears a Calvin thing.

CHRIS STAPLETON WAS CONTENT WRITING SONGS AND PLAYING IN THIS BAND OR THAT. THEN HIS FATHER DIED, AND HE WAS DRIVEN TO RECORD TRAVELLER. A NO. 1 ALBUM AND THREE GRAMMY NOMINATIONS LATER, HE’S THE KING OF COUNTRY. THE SECRET TO HIS UNLIKELY SUCCESS? “THERE IS NO SECRET. THE SECRET IS TALENT”

N MAY 2015, WHEN MERCURY NASHVILLE RELEASED Chris Stapleton’s debut album, Traveller, the record became a favorite of music elites: finally, a Nashville singer with soul and no songs about bikinis and tailgating. That underdog stature ended abruptly in November, when Stapleton, to the astonishment of everyone (especially him), won three ICountry Music Association (CMA) Awards. He even stole the show, singing two songs with his pal . In the aftermath, his album went to No. 1 and received three Grammy nominations, including album of the year, and he played Saturday Night Live. In August, he and Hank Williams Jr. will co-headline a tour of 15,000-seat amphitheaters. Quite a rise for a guy who six months ago was playing for 1,000 people each night. Stapleton, 37, a burly, bearded son of a Kentucky coal miner, wrote country hits for and but spent most of his time singing either Southern rock (with The Jompson Brothers) or bluegrass (with The SteelDrivers). He cut Traveller with , who has produced country outliers Jason Isbell and Sturgill Simpson, and a band that includes his wife Morgane, who is also a singer-songwriter. Here’s the inside story on how the death of Stapleton’s father led him to make Traveller, and how it became the surprise hit of 2015.

Brian Wright, senior vp A&R, Nashville I met Chris 12 or 13 years ago. He had a shaved head and no beard. Chris always told me he didn’t want a record deal — he just wanted to be a songwriter. Every time I asked, he said, “I don’t want a record deal.”

For Billings, who plans to attend the 2016 Grammy 1 Awards, the annual ceremony is “like watching your children” onstage. In 1991, he streamlined the design because “the older ones seemed to break a lot.” Today, each trophy weighs about 5 pounds and stands approximately 8.5 inches tall. The gramophones on the telecast aren’t the real thing: They’re recycled “stunt” Grammys — blank awards that “can be kissed and hugged and dropped,” as he notes. Once the Recording Academy provides a winners’ list, Billings and his team laser-engrave names onto plates and package the trophies. Then Billings personally drives the haul to the Academy offices in Santa Monica. Winners usually receive their customized prize within 60 days.
