One of the most popular American rappers, Kendrick Lamar released a video for the song "Squabble Up", which is on his new album "GNX", which he suddenly released last Friday.
This is the first song to be screened from the new release, and the video was directed by Calmatic and is full of details that pay homage to the American West Coast, Los Angeles and Kendrick's hometown of Compton.
Thus, in the video, you can see homages to Nate Dogg, allusions to the movie "Menace II Society", the Compton Christmas Parade and the cover of Ice-Ta's "Power" album, and at one point Lamar is shown reading a book with the title "How to become more like Kendrick - for beginners".
"GNX" is the successor to 2022's successful and Grammy Award-winning "Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers" and has already garnered critical acclaim for showing why Lamar is considered one of the best rappers working today. The album features guest appearances by numerous musicians, such as SZA, Jack Antonoff, Sounwave, Mustard, Kamasi Washington, Terras Martin and many others.
The album caps off an extremely successful year for Lamar, during which he released several songs aimed at Canadian hitmaker Drake. Those songs, which became big hits, earned him as many as seven Grammy nominations. Lamar achieved great success on the charts with the songs "Not Like Us" and "Like That".
