Leave it to Kendrick Lamar to do an anti-rollout. Most artists at his level might hit you with a single, music video and an upcoming release date to herald the start of a new album era. Kendrick simply took it back to 2013’s Beyoncé and dropped his sixth album, GNXout of nowhere. Anyone betting on a release closer to the Super Bowl…guess again. There are 12 new tracks to dive into, on a project named after his beloved classic Buick, which appears in a one-minute teaser he dropped along with the project.

After the year Kendrick has had, this will be his most researched and dissected project yet, and so far GNX doesn’t disappoint, with lines in the very first song referencing things like the Lil Wayne drama surrounding his appointment for the semi-final of the Super Bowl. Track 2, ‘squabble up’, is the highly anticipated ‘broccoli’ song teased at the beginning of the ‘Not Like Us’ music video, and ‘luther’, which features a beautiful sample version of Luther Vandross’ ‘If This World Were Mine “, reunites Kendrick and SZA.
