"The Art of Peer Pressure" is the fourth track on Kendrick Lamar's 2012 concept album good kid, m.A.A.d city, which follows Lamar's adolescence in Compton. Produced by Tabu, the song tells the story of a day out with friends that slides into trouble, showing how being around the group pulls a young person toward choices he would not make alone.
