A message reading \u201c4 Peez Kee Riches\u201d refers to Los Angeles rapper Kee Riches, who was slain on September 24.<\/p>\n<p>For a second and final act, Kendrick was joined by English singer-songwriter and producer Sampha for their collaboration \u201cFather Time\u201d on a set styled as a miniature bedroom, with Kendrick rocking a blue LA Dodgers hat.  The scene replicates the opening of Kendrick&#8217;s performance during The Big Steppers tour, with the rapper seated at a piano next to a puppet version of himself.
