Kendrick Lamar has returned with his first new material since the Grammy-nominated juggernaut "Not Like Us" (pgLang/Interscope) rocked the charts earlier this year amid his highly publicized beef with Drake. But it's not just a single—it's an entire album.
Titled GNX, the 12-track project is the follow-up to 2022's Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers. The opening track, "wacced out murals," comes in like a freight train, with the Pulitzer Prize-winning MC targeting his adversaries. Production geniuses include Sounwave, Jack Antonoff, Kamasi Washington and Producer of the Year contender Mustard.
Listen to the full album below while we try to wrap our heads around the sheer number of bars flying out of K. Dot's mouth.
