Kendrick Lamar Drops Surprise New Album ‘GNX’

And just like that, a new Kendrick Lamar album is here.

Today, Kung Fu Kenny suddenly unloaded GNX, a 12-track new album that arrived with almost no warning.

The LP was preceded by a brief teaser. In it, KDot kicks it next to a flossy whip before shifting to other parts of an undisclosed building — possibly a mansion garage. Just as his flow reaches a new level of intensity, the track and the visual itself cut out.

This album arrives about seven months after “Not Like Us,” a Drake diss that became arguably the biggest hit of 2024. It was nominated for multiple 2025 Grammys earlier this month, including Song of the Year. So, even as he looks to potentially dominate the Grammys, Kendrick wasn’t about to end 2024 quietly.
