In a unexpected move, hip-hop superstar Kendrick Lamar has dropped his sixth studio album 'GNX' without any prior announcement. The 12-track project marks Lamar's first release outside of his longtime label home Top Dawg Entertainment.
'GNX,' which pays homage to the Buick Grand National Experimental car, features guest appearances from the likes of SZA, Sam Dew, Dody6, AzChike, Siete and Wallie the Sensei, Hitta J3, Peysoh, Young Threat, Lefty Gunplay, Ink and Deyra Barrera. The production duties are handled by a star-studded lineup including Mustard, Sounwave, DJ Dahi, Terrace Martin, Jack Antonoff and Kamasi Washington.
The album's release comes on the heels of Kendrick's high-profile feud with Drake, which only served to further elevate his status in the rap game. His chart-topping, Grammy-nominated diss track "Not Like Us" was a standout highlight from the drama.
Kendrick is also set to headline the Super Bowl LIX halftime show in New Orleans in the coming months, an announcement that stirred up some controversy among Lil Wayne's fanbase and even the Young Money rapper himself.
