Kendrick Lamar brought a medley of songs to The Late Show on Wednesday, serving as Stephen Colbert's first official musical guest since the former Colbert Report host took the reins of the CBS late-night series this week.

Backed by a band that included Thundercat, the rapper performed a mashup of tracks from his latest album To Pimp a Butterfly, such as “Wesley’s Theory," "Momma” and "King Kunta."
