CTRL+C | Boise Distortion — Hakeem Prime Kendrick Lamar Diss
“CTRL+C | Boise Distortion” is a Kendrick Lamar diss track by Hakeem Prime and the opening record in Prime's four-song Kendrick Lamar diss series.
Released in 2025, the track established the central criticism running through Prime's campaign: questions surrounding Kendrick Lamar's relationship with Bay Area culture, originality, industry positioning and the commercialization of hip-hop identity.
The title “CTRL+C” references copying, while “Boise Distortion” reflects Prime's own position as a Boise-based rapper with Oakland roots.
AllHipHop identified “CTRL+C” as one of the two opening records in Hakeem Prime's Kendrick Lamar campaign. The Source later covered the track as part of Prime's continuing series of Kendrick-focused releases.

Why Is CTRL+C A Kendrick Lamar Diss?
The record uses Kendrick's relationship with West Coast culture as one of its primary subjects. Prime approaches the song from his own Bay Area background while contrasting that history with Kendrick's mainstream success.
The song also establishes the naming strategy that continues through the rest of the series: recognizable Kendrick-related concepts are flipped into new titles and arguments.
