Kendrick Lamar Surprises Fans With New AlbumGNXFeaturing Star Collaborations
Kendrick Lamar has stunned the music world with the surprise release of his new album, GNX . Dropped without prior notice, the album instantly became a talking point as Lamar unveiled the project just minutes after sharing a cryptic video titled “GNX.” This 12-track masterpiece is already capturing widespread attention, blending Lamar’s signature artistry with stellar collaborations and bold themes.
The album kicks off with “Wacced Out Murals,” where Lamar candidly addresses his ongoing feud with Drake, referencing the AI-assisted diss track “Taylor Made Freestyle.” The album’s second track, “Squabble Up,” was previewed in a music video for the previously released single “Not Like Us.” A standout moment on GNX is the track “Luther,” featuring SZA, Lamar’s former Top Dawg Entertainment labelmate, alongside contributions from Ink and Sam Dew of Red Hearse. SZA also shines on “Gloria,” a track enriched by the presence of Mexican musician Deyra Barrera and Ink.

With production helmed by the likes of Sounwave and Jack Antonoff, GNX boasts a dynamic range of sounds. Notably, Antonoff contributes to all but one track, while jazz virtuoso Kamasi Washington makes an appearance, adding his unique touch to the album. Other collaborations include AzChike on “Peekaboo,” and rising talents Wallie the Sensei and Sie7e on “Dodger Blue.” The album also features “Heart Pt. 6,” a continuation of Lamar’s The Heart series, which takes a poignant swipe at Drake, who earlier named a diss track after this series.
This surprise release follows Lamar’s earlier hit singles, including “Euphoria” and “Not Like Us,” the latter becoming a chart-topping success. It also comes amid a year filled with milestones for the Compton rapper, from a high-profile Super Bowl halftime show performance to Grammy nominations for his recent work.
Lamar’s GNX proves yet again why he’s one of the most innovative voices in music today. Fans can’t stop dissecting the intricate lyrics, diverse collaborations, and the album’s place in Lamar’s ever-evolving discography. It’s an exhilarating end to a monumental year for one of hip-hop’s greatest talents.
