Kendrick Lamar is one of the biggest names in world music, and any release of new music from the American rapper is big news.
Lamar has recently struck up a double act with 22-year-old rapper Baby Keem - who is also his cousin. Their 2019 single 'Family Ties' was a major hit for both artists, and their latest collaboration has now been released.
The music video for the duo's new song 'The Hillbillies' dropped on Tuesday afternoon - and, remarkably, several of the segments in the video were shot in St. Stephen's Green Shopping Centre and the surrounding areas of Dublin city centre.

Kendrick Lamar visited Dublin in November to play the 3Arena as part of the tour for his latest critically-acclaimed album, 'Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers.'
His performance on tour went down a treat with Irish fans - and it appears as though he made good use of his time in Dublin.
In the new music video for 'The Hillbillies,' released alongside Baby Keem, the pair can be seen exploring St. Stephen's Green Shopping Centre and the adjacent King Street South.
The video also features several shots from the London Eye. The Dublin segment kicks off about 58 seconds into the below video.
Lamar and Keem can be seen dancing to the tune as they move around Stephen's Green Shopping Centre, with some sequences also shot on King Street South and outside the entrance to the centre on that street.
It's surprising the pair weren't spotted while shooting the video - we can only imagine the shock for Dublin's Christmas shoppers exiting TK Maxx and spotting Kendrick vibing his way through Stephen's Green.

'Hillbillies' uses a sample from Bon Iver's 'PDFLIF.' 17-time Grammy Award winner Lamar references footballers Lionel Messi and Neymar in the song's lyrics, with some shots in the video showing games of FIFA being played.
