Let's make this birthday one to remember.

37 years old (Born on June 17, 1987)

Happy birthday, Kendrick! Another year older and somehow still lyrically miles ahead of the rest. From bringing vivid storytelling in "Section.80," to painting your unforgettable portrayal of Compton streets with "Good Kid, M.A.A.D City," you've proven that age is just a number—but wordplay lasts forever.

You've climbed charts, shattered expectations (and rappers' egos), grabbed Grammys by the armful—and yet remained humble enough not to change your Twitter handle into @PulitzerKendrick—though you'd have earned every right to do so. Wishing you another legendary year filled with powerful albums and clever rhymes; may your verses always slay harder than candles on cakes!
