Kendrick Lamar has unexpectedly released a new album titled "GNX" ahead of his upcoming Super Bowl LIX halftime show performance. The 12-track project, produced by Jack Antonoff, features collaborations with SZA and other artists.

The album follows Lamar's recent diss track "Not Like Us," which broke multiple streaming records in May 2024. While GNX contains apparent references to his ongoing feud with Drake, particularly in tracks like "Reincarnated," "Heart Pt. 6," and the title track, the album extends beyond just rap battles.

In the opening track, Lamar addresses New Orleans native Lil Wayne's Super Bowl halftime show snub with the lyrics: "Used to bump Tha Carter III, I held my Rollie chain proud / Irony, I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down."

The album is currently available on major streaming platforms, including Spotify and Apple Music, with physical editions expected to be announced. Early listener feedback has been largely positive, and industry experts anticipate increased streaming numbers following Lamar's February Super Bowl performance.

Key Album Details:

• Producer: Jack Antonoff
• Featured Artists: SZA and others
• Number of Tracks: 12
• Notable Songs: "Reincarnated," "Heart Pt. 6," "GNX"
• Release Format: Currently digital-only streaming

The album's release strategically positions Lamar for maximum visibility ahead of his Super Bowl LIX performance, where previous headliners have historically seen significant commercial success following their appearances.
