Kendrick Lamar’s latest track is a breath of fresh air. One of the standout lyrics is, “Fake bully, I hate bullies, you must be a terrible person. Everyone inside your team is whispering that you deserve it.” The entire song features a masterfully flipped sample of Al Green’s “What a Wonderful Thing Love Is,” set in C# Major and running at 88 beats per minute.

Kendrick’s lyrics are sharp as ever, with lines like, “It was fun until you start to put money in the streets. Then lost money, ’cause they came back with no receipts. I’m sorry that I live a boring life, I love peace. But war ready if the world is ready to see you bleed.” These verses showcase his lyrical brilliance and cutting insight. You may be asking yourself “What’s up with the album artwork?” Those are Drake’s gloves on the album cover.

The track is widely seen as a diss aimed at Drake, with recent buzz around the ongoing rivalry between the two rappers sparking debates about who reigns supreme. Released on May 3, 2024, this song exudes a chill, dark, and smooth vibe, with a seamless flow that makes it perfect for looping. Jack Antonoff and Sounwav produced this song and did a great job.

Kendrick is pushing boundaries with his music, and I can’t wait to hear what he drops next. This track is just a glimpse of the groundbreaking work he’s set to release.
