Lamar has recently released his sixth studio album ‘GNX‘. In a glowing five-star review of the LP, NME‘s Kyann-Sian Williams wrote: “Lamar channels what could be interpreted as hate and negativity into a teachable moment, leading you to draw upon the purest emotion known to man: love. In a year that started with so much venom, Kendrick Lamar shares the antidote on ‘GNX’.”
The rapper’s track ‘Not Like Us’ landed the Number Two spot on NME‘s 50 Best Songs Of 2024 list, writing that the single “packaged intelligent, intensely researched character assassinations into a fierce, booming DJ Mustard-produced club hit. Though his savage, accusatory wordplay grabbed the headlines, it was Lamar’s dissection of Drake as “coloniser” that truly underlined his pure vitriol.”
It was also recently speculated that the ‘Humble’ rapper may have more new music in the works, according to DJ Hed, a radio DJ and friend of Lamar.
Elsewhere, last month, SZA revealed that her new album will be released “before the year is over”.
While appearing on streamer Kai Cenat’s livestream alongside Lizzo, the ‘Drew Barrymore’ singer gave an update on her music and shared that there’s “a whole new project” that people have yet to hear, and that it’ll be out “before the year is over”. Her last full-length release was 2022’s ‘SOS‘.
