kendrick lamar GNX review
Kendrick Lamar – GNX
Released: 22 November 2024
Kendrick Lamar drops a surprise album! I woke up around 9AM Pacific Time on November 22, 2024 and saw that Kendrick dropped a snippet for a new song, I thought “Cool, I’ll check it out later or maybe wait until the album drops next year”.. then literally 30 minutes later Kendrick drops an ENTIRE album (just 30 minutes after the snippet!). GNX is exactly the type of album I wanted from Kendrick following the ultra-heavy Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers.
