New Music Recommendations

The King of the West Coast, Kendrick Lamar, took the world by surprise by dropping his new record GNX with no warning. This is Kendrick’s sixth full length record and is just another reminder why he holds the crown. GNX is full of Los Angeles anthems, vicious bars and knocking beats. Give it a spin. FFO: all good hip hop.
