News writers worldwide expecting an uneventful pre-Thanksgiving Friday were given the opposite with the surprise drop of Kendrick Lamar’s Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers follow-up GNX.
The album, further dissection of which will no doubt dominate the weekend, sees Sounwave and Jack Antonoff all over its production credits. Both producers have Grammys to their name (of course), with additional Kendrick-focused victories now a very likely scenario following the GNX rollout.
Though certainly a surprise, the album, Kendrick’s sixth, comes at a particularly opportune time, with matters of Drake and Super Bowl headlinery still fresh on many listeners’ minds. As is customary, we’ve assembled a rundown of production credits and features for the new project, as adapted from Spotify.
