There's no longer any need for Kendrick Lamar to 'Be Humble.'
After a headline-grabbing Super Bowl Halftime show performance, the chart-topping Hip-Hop icon/Pulitzer Prize winner officially kicked off his 2025 'Grand National Tour' with SZA at Minneapolis' US Bank Stadium on April 19.
Over a 2.5-hour, 52-song, nine-act (!) set, 'the pair showcased how dichotomous stagecraft and differing cadences can lead to a beautiful collision,' USA Today raved.

The twosome 'traded sets every few songs' and Lamar electrified the crowd with his live rendition of the smash 'Not Like Us' that allegedly included an audience participation bit where the 37-year-old pointed his microphone at the crowd to deliver his now iconic 'A minor' diss.
If this sounds like the live show of your dreams, tickets are available for all upcoming 'Grand National' concerts including two at East Rutherford, NJ's MetLife Stadium on Thursday, May 8 and Friday, May 9.
At the time of publication, prices start at $81 before fees on Vivid Seats for the cheapest show on the international trek.
Other concerts have seats going for anywhere from $94 before fees to $262 including fees.

Based on our findings, prices have dropped for some but not all shows since we last reviewed how much Kendrick Lamar tickets cost the day after the Super Bowl. The trend seems to be that tickets become cheaper the closer we get to the concert date. For example, six of the next eight shows have seen prices plummet while they've risen for later down the road.

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.
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).

SZA new music

SZA's 23-song, 2022 album 'SOS' has proven to be a hit with critics and fans in the two years since its release.
Rolling Stone said the record 'delivers sharp barbs and juicy revelations' in a four-star review.
'SZA's long, ambitious, luxurious new album solidifies her position as a generational talent,' raves Pitchfork. 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 upcoming 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

How groundbreaking gay author Edmund White paved the way for other writers
NEW YORK -- Andrew Sean Greer, a Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist, remembers the first time he read Edmund White. It was the summer of 1989, he was beginning his second year at Brown University and he had just come out. Having learned that White would be teaching at Brown, he found a copy of White's celebrated coming-of-age novel, 'A Boy's Own Story.' 'I'd never read anything like it — nobody had — and what strikes me looking back is the lack of shame or self-hatred or misery that imbued so many other gay male works of fiction of that time,' says Greer, whose 'Less' won the Pulitzer for fiction in 2018. "I, of course, did not know then I was reading a truly important literary work. All I knew is I wanted to read more. 'Reading was all we had in those days — the private, unshared experience that could help you explore your private life," he said. "Ed invented so many of us." White, a pioneer of contemporary gay literature, died this week at age 85. He left behind such widely read works as 'A Boy's Own Story' and 'The Beautiful Room Is Empty' and a gift to countless younger writers: Validation of their lives, the discovery of themselves through the stories of others. Greer and other authors speak of White's work as more than just an influence, but as a rite of passage: "How a queer man might begin to question all of the deeply held, deeply religious, deeply American assumptions about desire, love, and sex — who is entitled to have it, how it must be had, what it looks like,' says Robert Jones Jr., whose novel above love between two enslaved men, ' The Prophets,' was a National Book Award finalist in 2021. Jones remembers being a teenager in the 1980s when he read 'A Boy's Own Story." He found the book at a store in a gay neighborhood in Manhattan's Greenwich Village, 'the safest place for a person to be openly queer in New York City,' he said. 'It was a scary time for me because all the news stories about queer men revolved around AIDS and dying, and how the disease was the Christian god's vengeance against the 'sin of homosexuality,'' Jones added. 'It was the first time that I had come across any literature that confirmed that queer men have a childhood; that my own desires were not, in fact, some aberration, but were natural; and that any suffering and loneliness I was experiencing wasn't divine retribution, but was the intention of a human-made bigotry that could be, if I had the courage and the community, confronted and perhaps defeated," he said. Starting in the 1970s, White published more than 25 books, including novels, memoirs, plays, biographies and 'The Joy of Gay Sex,' a response to the 1970s bestseller 'The Joy of Sex." He held the rare stature for a living author of having a prize named for him, the Edmund White Award for Debut Fiction, as presented by the Publishing Triangle. 'White was very supportive of young writers, encouraging them to explore and expand new and individual visions,' said Carol Rosenfeld, chair of the Triangle. The award was 'one way of honoring that support.' Winners such the prize was founded, in 2006, have included 'The Prophets,' Myriam Gurba 's 'Dahlia Season' and Joe Okonkwo's 'Jazz Moon.' Earlier this year, the award was given to Jiaming Tang's ' Cinema Love,' a story of gay men in rural China. Tang remembered reading 'A Boy's Own Story' in his early 20s, and said that both the book and White were 'essential touchpoints in my gay coming-of-age.' 'He writes with intimate specificity and humor, and no other writer has captured the electric excitement and crushing loneliness that gay men experience as they come of age,' Tang said. "He's a towering figure. There'd be no gay literature in America without Edmund White.'
