Everyone suspected a new Kendrick Lamar album was coming soon — between a Super Bowl halftime show slot next year and a haul of Grammy nominations for "Not Like Us," the time was as ripe as could be.

Rapper Kendrick Lamar released his latest project, a 12-track album titled " GNX " on Friday. It's his first full-length studio album since 2022, and it came as a complete surprise. Just minutes before the full release Lamar posted a teaser video for the album's title track.
