Kendrick Lamar releases surprise album ‘GNX’: Stream

Stop whatever you’re doing. Kendrick just fell. After probably the biggest year of his career, Kendrick Lamar has suddenly, out of the blue, shared a new surprise album called GNX. It’s over, right now. The whole.

Kendrick introduced GNX with a short teaser video that appeared on the internet just before the album. The album contains twelve songs and none of them have been previously released. (The “Not Like Us” video included a snippet of “squabble up.” That song samples Debbie Deb’s freestyle classic “When I Hear Music,” and it is difficult.) One of those songs is called “heart pt. 6”, so Kendrick didn’t let Drake hijack that series.

The album’s guests haven’t been listed yet, but there are certainly a few on it. For example, SZA and Sam Dew appear to appear on “luther,” while Kendrick trades in bars with LA shit-talker AzChike on “hey now.” If Taylor Swift is indeed here, I haven’t heard her yet. Multiple producers are credited on each song, and Jack Antonoff and Sounwave seem to be credited on almost all of them. The other credited producers are Mustard, Kamasi Washington, Terrace Martin, Dahi, M-Tech, Noah Ehler, Craig Balmoris, Tyler Mehlenbacher, Bridgeway, Rose Lilah, Sean Momberger, Tim Maxey, Tane Runo, Juju, Rascal, Kenny & Billy, Deats, and Kendrick himself.

There is one lot to be processed here. I’m listening in a daze and Kendrick has certainly addressed Lil Wayne’s objections about this year’s Super Bowl. On many of these songs, Kendrick is absolute go offand he does it in a relatively simple way. I’m only a few songs into it and I already know I’m hearing a classic. Stream it right now below.

GNX is now available on pgLang.
