Kendrick Lamar has made a powerful return with his latest album, GNX, which has topped the US charts upon release. This marks a significant moment in the career of the Compton native, who first reshaped the hip-hop landscape with his 2011 debut, Section.80. Now, over a decade later, Lamar continues to challenge expectations and push boundaries.
GNX arrives after the critical success of his 2022 album Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, which achieved platinum status and solidified Lamar’s place as one of hip-hop’s most influential figures. Following this, GNX came as a surprise to many, with no prior announcements leading up to its release.
The album is seen as a precursor to Lamar’s much-anticipated performance at the Super Bowl halftime show in February, as well as a significant moment in his ongoing feud with fellow rapper Drake, which has dominated hip-hop headlines for months. With GNX, Lamar’s raw and gritty style is back on full display, captivating both fans and critics alike.
