In a move which is kinda WTF, rapper of the year Kendrick Lamar has appeared as a guest vocalist on the new single from UK pop singer Dido, “Let Us Move On,” which will appear on her forthcoming fourth full length album (due out this March). It’s a little less WTF when you consider that Dido was also prominently sampled on Kendrick’s fellow Dr. Dre associate Eminem‘s best song. Plus, with the kind of laid back beat that Kendrick always tends to work really well over, and Dido sounding as inoffensive and Starbucks-ready as ever, it sounds way better than Kendrick collaborating with Lady Gaga.

You can listen to the song over at NPR.
