Kendrick Lamar refuses to let up. And we love that for him.
The “Squabble Up” rapper is about to bring the culture’s newest anthem “Not Like Us” and his entire catalog to stadiums across the nation & Toronto next spring, and he named the perfect tour partner – his former TDE labelmate SZA who is featured on his new song “luther”.
The twosome were both on TDE before Kendrick left the label back in 2022 after calling it home for 18 years. Their song “All the Stars” is Academy Award, Grammy and Golden Globe nominated, and they performed it together at Coachella in 2018.
K-Dot and SZA kick off the 19-city “Grand National Tour” in April in Minneapolis, hitting stadiums in Houston, NY/NJ, his nemesis Drake‘s home of Toronto, Detroit, Chicago, Atlanta and, of course, multiple nights in L.A.
The Cali King is about to have the littyest 2025 since he’s performing the Halftime show at the Super Bowl in February in New Orleans. With his recent surprise drop of his new album, GNX, he landed his 5th No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 last week.
VERY few rappers have done and can do their own stadium tour. Something tells us this ish is about to have additional (sold out) dates and will be a MOVEMENT.
You going?!
