Nov. 23 (UPI) -- Rapper Kendrick Lamar has released a new album called GNX. Lamar dropped the surprise 12-song record on digital platforms Friday. Tracks include "Wacced Out Murals," "Squabble," "Luther" and "Man at the Garden."

Everyone suspected a new Kendrick Lamar album was coming soon — between a Super Bowl halftime show slot next year and a haul of Grammy nominations for “Not Like Us,” the time was as ripe as could be. Yet fans woke up Friday to the startling release of “GNX,” Lamar’s followup to 2022’s ruminative “Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers.”
