Description: Kendrick Lamar’s sixth studio album, GNX, was released on November 22, 2024, through pgLang and Interscope Records and is a milestone in his artistic evolution. Breaking free from the long-term affiliations with Top Dawg Entertainment and Aftermath, Lamar starts anew on an independent creative path, and GNX is the debut release from his newly established label, pgLang.
The title of the album, GNX, is a reference to the 1987 Buick Grand National Experimental, which is an automobile personally meaningful to Lamar since his father had a Buick Regal when Kendrick was born. This origin-point-specific nod highlights the album’s strong roots into his childhood development in Los Angeles as well as the wider West Coast hip-hop tradition.
Musically, GNX is a tribute to West Coast hip-hop, combining the vintage sounds of old-school G-funk and modern beats. The 12-song album is packed with infectious singles like “Squabble Up,” “Luther,” “TV Off,” and “Peekaboo.” “Squabble Up” jacks Debbie Deb’s 1984 single “When I Hear Music” in a neat, old-school-sounding yet innovative manner. Meanwhile, “Luther,” a collaboration with SZA, uses a sample of Luther Vandross and Cheryl Lynn’s cover of “If This World Were Mine” and is a beautiful blend of Lamar and SZA’s vocals.

GNX is packed with an impressive roster of contributors, with the likes of SZA, Roddy Ricch, Wallie the Sensei, and rising stars such as Deyra Barrera. The album features production titans Sounwave, Jack Antonoff, Mustard, and Kamasi Washington, all working together to create the album’s deep and varied sound.
The album has been met with widespread acclaim for its homogeneous production and lyrical brilliance of Lamar. Reviewers have commended GNX as a hit redefinition of West Coast hip-hop, with many analysts referring to it as one of the greatest albums in 2024. Regardless, some critics observed that while the music is exquisite, it overcompensates on personal grievances, which may potentially dominate the rest of the work.
