The news arrives less than two weeks after Lamar released his latest album, “GNX” which features SZA on two tracks: “Luther” and “Gloria.”

“In a review, AP described the album as leaning into the same creativity-juicing pride, self-righteous anger and supreme confidence that fueled the Grammy-nominated ‘Not Like Us,'” said APNews on Lamar’s latest album.
