Rap sensation Kendrick Lamar has been added to the performers' list for the 2013 BET Awards.

The Compton wordsmith joins previously announced performers Chris Brown and R. Kelly. There are more artists to be announced in the coming weeks.

K. Dot garnered eight nominations for this year's BET Awards, including Best Male Hip-Hop Artist and Best Video for 'Poetic Justice' featuring Drake.

In a BET promo clip above, we are treated to not one, not two, but three Kendrick Lamars. The rapper teases that he might sing during his performance. "Anything can happen...I mean anything" he says.

While we can appreciate Lamar's enthusiasm to croon, we strongly suggest that he do what he does best and that's rock the mic.

We'll just have to wait and see what Lamar has up his sleeves at the 2013 BET Awards, which air live at 8PM ET on June 30 from the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles.
