Kendrick Lamar: Newly Discovered Rapper ... Next Eminem, Maybe, Thanks to Jas Prince

The kid who Kendrick Lamar plucked out of a crowd may become a big star, because Jas Prince, the guy who discovered Drake, happened to be in the crowd.

The lucky kid, who goes by Corporate Dough, got a false start when Kendrick pulled him onstage Sunday at the Day for Night festival in Houston ... he forgot the lyrics to Kendrick's song. But he went on to slay by freestyling his own lyrics.

Corporate Dough tells us, Jas Prince was so impressed he approached him and they exchanged information.

So far, no word from Jas Prince ... but meetings take a while. Good luck.
