Kung-Fu Kenny is in full album mode — capping off one hell of a year — by releasing an LP of the same name ‘GNX’ album today (Nov. 22).

The surprise album has musical contributions from Luther Vandross, Jack Antonoff, SZA and Kamasi Washington.

The GNX video is a one-minute teaser that sees Kendrick Lamar in solitude in a fancy retro sports car while spitting lyrics as fast as a machine gun, in a way only Kendrick Lamar knows how.

Watch ‘GNX’ below!

The 12 song 44-minute LP recorded under interscope records, marks K-Dot’s sixth studio album, placing this piece along the likes of Damn, Good Kid, M.A.A.D City, and To Pimp a Butterfly


The album is featureless on all but two tracks. Lamar pays tribute to the great Luther Vandross on his song “Luther” with a Vandross sample in the beginning of the song that is met with Lamar’s captivating wordplay. The Second feature come from the track “Gloria” which includes SZA.
