Swimming Pools is a record by one of hip hop’s finest, Kendrick Lamar, and is the hit song from his album ‘good kid, m.A.A.d city’. The single is an introspective of both Lamar’s and his family’s toxic relationship with alcohol. The song was, in part inspired by his grandfather’s drinking habits and resulting death as well as the pressure he felt from his peers to “get a swimming pool full of liquor” and then “dive in it”.
