A celebration of legacy and bold artistic vision

From there, Kendrick honors late rapper and 213 member Nate Dogg with a life-size version of his 1998 album, G Funk Classics Vol. 1 & 2, Soul Train, Isaac Hayes’ 1971 Black Moses album art, the Compton Christmas Parade and more. GNX may have been a surprise drop for fans, but K. Dot was very particular in how he wanted the album to sound, boldly representing the sounds of West Coast hip-hop.

The new project has features from SZA, Jack Antonoff, Sounwave, Mustard, Kamasi Washington, Terrace Martin, Lefty Gunplay, Dody6, Deyra Barrera, the Mariachi star featured on three GNX tracks and more.

Since releasing his acclaimed diss track “Not Like Us” in May, Kendrick Lamar has had a standout year and is set to headline Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans in February.
