GNX. 

 GRAND NATIONAL EXPERIMENTAL 


GNX is the sixth (6th) studio album by American Rapper Kendrick Lamar. It was surprised released on 22 November 2024, through PGLang and Interscope Records. The album features guest appearances from SZA, Dody6, Lefty Gunplay, Wallie The Sensei, Siete7x, Roddy Ricch, AzChike, Hitta J3, YougThreat, and Peysoh. Lamar produced the albumprimarily  with Sounwave and Jack Antonoff; other producers like Mustard, Sean Momberger, and Kamsai Washington.

Titled after the Buick Regal model and following his feud with Canadien musiscian Drake, GNX is Lamar's first album to be released after his departure from longtime labels Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE) and Aftermath Entertainment. GNX was released to widespread universal acclaim: multiple critics hailed it as a successful reimagination of West Coast hip-hop and one of the best albums of 2024; a few otherwise thought that the album was not as groundbreaking or too polished. The album was Lamar's fifth (5th) number one on the US Billboard 200 chart. It also topped the charts in numerous countries, including Canada, Netherlands, Sweden, Australia, Denmark, and the United Kingdom; and top five (05) in Poland, Nigeria, France and Hungary.

GNX was supported by four (04) singles, the Billboard Hot 100 number one's "Squabble Up" and "Luther", the number two hit "TV Off", and "Peakaboo". Lamar and SZA performed live at the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show and are currently embarking on the co-headlining Grand National Tour in 2025 to promote the album as well as SZA's "Lana". At the American Music Awards of 2025, GNX was nominated for Album of The Year and Favourite Hip-Hip album, losing out to Billie Eilish's "Hit Me Hard And Soft" and Eminem's "The Death of Slim Shady" (Coup De Grǎce), respectively.
