Kendrick Lamar starts his exhilarating new album by complaining that someone vandalized a mural depicting his face — a mural depicting his face in triplicate, in fact — on the side of a Honduran restaurant in his Compton hometown.

GNX” is easily the most disciplined and direct music Kendrick Lamar has ever made, and if you really let yourself feel it, it might also be his most profound.

Gordo first collaborated with Drake by producing six tracks on the latter’s house-inspired album Honestly, Nevermind. They continued working together on Drake’s For All the Dogs in 2023, and Gordo secured two features from the 6 God on "Sideways" and "Healing," both from his debut album, DIAMANTE, released earlier this year.
