'gloria' Kendrick Lamar new music On Nov. 22, 2024, Lamar shocked the world with his previously-unannounced sixth studio album 'GNX.' Made up of 12 tracks, the talented lyricist delivers his trademark punchy rhymes — that are almost impossible to get out of your head in the best way — over sparse drumbeats and samples. Personally, our favorite tracks here are the impressively minimalist rapper's delight 'wacced out murals' (which ended up opening his halftime show), Latin-infused 'reincarnated' and lively party-starter 'tv off' feat. lefty gunplay. Advertisement Stick around until the end, too. Kendrick teams up with SZA for the evocative, sensitive duet 'gloria.' We can't wait to hear this one live IRL (especially now that we know it's literally the show's encore). Want to check the album out for yourself? Click here to listen to 'GNX.' SZA new music SZA's 23-song, 2022 album 'SOS' has proven to be a hit with critics and fans in the nearly three years since its release. Rolling Stone said the record 'delivers sharp barbs and juicy revelations' in a glowing four-star review. 'SZA's long, ambitious, luxurious new album solidifies her position as a generational talent,' Pitchfork raved. They summed up that sentiment calling her 'otherworldly, but you just might know someone a little like her, too.' If you want to brush up on the record before seeing her live, you can stream 'SOS' here. Hip-Hop icons on tour in 2025 Although it will be difficult to top Kendrick and SZA's jaunt in terms of sheer star power, scope and scale, we're just as excited to catch a number of big names live these next few months. Here are just five iconic acts we can't wait to see in the near future. • Tyler, The Creator • Wu-Tang Clan • NBA Youngboy • Lil Wayne • Wiz Khalifa Who else is on the road?
