GNX

About

As of 2026, it's 1 year old.

GNX arrived as a surprise from Kendrick Lamar at the peak of a victory lap — dropping with no warning after a cultural year in which his feud-ending smash 'Not Like Us' became an inescapable phenomenon and he was tapped for the Super Bowl halftime stage. The man was operating at the absolute center of the culture.

Confident and hungry, it showed an artist who'd won the biggest battles in rap and still had plenty to prove and say.

Surprise-dropped, confident, and victorious, GNX is the album that capped a triumphant era for Kendrick Lamar at the very top of hip-hop.
