Kendrick Lamar has dropped his new album GNX without notice. GNX, whose title nods to the Buick Grand National Experimental car.

The surprise project, Kendrick’s sixth studio effort following 2022’s Mr. Morale and the High Steppers and

first not to be released on Top Dawg Entertainment, has 12 songs and includes the previously teased “squabble up,” which was previewed.

Production was primarily handled by frequent Lamar collaborator Sounwave and Jack Antonoff. Mustard, Terrance Martin, and Kamasi Washington also contributed production. SZA contributed vocals to two tracks: “Luther” and “Gloria.”

The album comes ahead of Lamar’s headline performance at the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show in New Orleans on Sunday, February 9, 2025.

His Drake diss song, “Not Like Us” is up for Song of the Year and Record of the Year at the 2025 Grammys.
