“Michael Jordan” is the seventh track on the Overly Dedicated mixtape. It was released as a single on September 14, 2010, seven days before the project dropped on September 23. This date coincides with the “two-three” wordplay found in the chorus, which refers to Michael Jordan’s famous jersey number. Top Dawg Entertainment eventually released a music video for the song. This was the first significant step toward mainstream exposure since Kendrick’s previous project, 2009’s The Kendrick Lamar EP.
