We don’t yet know who will prevail between the Chiefs and the Eagles during Sunday’s Super Bowl, but we do know who at least one winner will be — following his five-Grammy sweep on Sunday, Kendrick Lamar will take the stage during the halftime show. On top of that, his latest album, GNX, which surprise dropped in November of last year, is available to buy today on physical formats including vinyl and CD.
The LP version is being released in a variety of variants, including a 180g black or white vinyl exclusive to Kendrick Lamar’s store. There’s also a Target-exclusive variant on gray vinyl, an indie-exclusive variant in Dodger blue, as well as the standard version in black.
Kendrick Lamar racked up five Grammy awards for “Not Like Us,” his world-dominating Drake diss. “Not Like Us,” “Euphoria,” and Lamar’s other diss tracks did not appear on GNX. The full-length, which featured songs like “luther” and “tv off,” was not nominated at this year’s Grammys because it was released after the cut-off date. That means it could be eligible for a 2026 Grammy, something Drake is sure to be thrilled about.
In the Rolling Stone review, Mosi Reeves wrote, “As a nightcap to Lamar’s strangely exhilarating MVP season, GNX tries to embrace his dual identities: the spiritualist who hears his inner voice as God on “Reincarnated,” and the block thumper who spits venom at detractors real and perceived on “Wacced Out Murals.”
After the Super Bowl performance, Kendrick Lamar will hit the road with TDE labelmate SZA on the pair’s Grand National Tour. The North American tour will begin in April and run through June, and you can see the dates below.
