All 12 Songs From Kendrick Lamar’s ‘GNX’ Album Ranked

Kendrick Lamar — rap’s undoubted MVP of 2024 — surprised fans on Friday (Nov. 22) with the release of his GNX album.

The project seemingly dropped out of the sky without warning around 12 p.m. ET. Filled with 12 tracks, GNX boasts a pair of assists from former TDE running mate SZA, Sam Dew as well as emerging artists such as Deyra Barrera, Ink, Dody 6, AzChike and more.

Kendrick was rumored to be cooking up an album in the wake of battling Drake, and the Compton native came through. GNX follows Lamar’s Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers in 2022, which topped the Billboard 200 with 295,000 total units earned in the first week.

Sounwave notches co-production credits across the project while Jack Antonoff and Kamasi Washington also make appearances.

Lamar dropped off a teaser before the album hit streaming services with the clip featuring what appears to be a 1987 Buick Grand National Regal GNX, which inspired the album title.

With the Super Bowl on the horizon, K. Dot will have new music with him when he heads to New Orleans to take the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show stage in February.

Even prior to the album’s arrival, Lamar notched seven Grammy Award nominations earlier this month — five of which came tied to his “Not Like Us” Drake diss. Check out the album and all of the 12 tracks ranked from worst to best below.
