We construct in comoving coordinates an exact solution of a contracting rotating dust solution, which joined smoothy onto the Kerr metric. The solution evolve to form a Kerr black hole. When the angular momentum parameter, a, is set to zero, the solution reduces to the classical collapsing dust solution of Oppenheimer and Snyder.
