With all due apologies to Drake, what better surprise could we have had heading into the holiday season than a brand-new album from Kendrick Lamar? 

Well, if you've been thrilling to GNX -- which AllMusic has called "Kendrick's most speaker-knocking set to date" -- online since its digital release on Nov. 22 of 2024 just imagine how freakin' good it's gonna sound when you slap a tasty, tasty slab of vinyl on your turntable and let the thing rip the way it's meant to be heard! NME immediately called it "an easy contender for the rap album of 2024" but ... hey ... you be the judge.
