After a monstrous 2024, Kendrick Lamar put his stamp on the final weeks of the year with the surprise release of a new album, GNX. The project features more bars about Drake after his feud with the Canadian rapper dominated the cultural conversation this summer.

Kendrick Lamar has surprise dropped his new album, GNX, on Nov. 22. The project was first teased with a video posted to Lamar's social media accounts on the same day. The 12-track, 44-minute album is already making waves due to its subject matter.

Kendrick Lamar starts his exhilarating new album by complaining that someone vandalized a mural depicting his face — a mural depicting his face in triplicate, in fact — on the side of a Honduran restaurant in his Compton hometown.
