Kendrick Lamar has blessed L.A. with a surprise drop — his new album, GNX. Featuring 12 entirely fresh tracks — GNX showcases Kendrick’s familiar and unmatched lyrical prowess. The release was preceded by a teaser video that set the internet ablaze, building anticipation for this masterpiece. Among the highlights is “Dodger Blue,” a track already hailed as a fall anthem, with its unmistakable West Coast beat — and lyrics every L.A. local can relate to: “Don’t say you hate L.A. when you don’t travel past the 10.”
The album also includes “Heart Pt. 6,” carrying forward the legacy of his series, and “They Not Like Us,” the summer anthem that dominated L.A. streets. With the Dodgers reclaiming the World Series title, Kendrick’s celebration of the West Coast feels perfectly timed. GNX is a reminder that the West Coast stays on top — and up is our only direction.
You can listen to “GNX” now on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, and more.
