The new song is Lamar’s first solo work since his 2022 album, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers. In the time since, he’s focused on collaborative efforts with Baby Keem, including “The Hillbillies.” He’s also worked with Taylor Swift for the rerecorded version of her song, “Bad Blood,” as well as Beyonce for her single, “America Has a Problem.” He and Free launched pgLang in 2020 following Lamar’s departure from Top Dawg Entertainment. In a mission statement from the time, the company said: “PGLang is focused on using our experiences, and nurturing our many collaborators, to build stories that are equally accessible and engaging then fitting them within the best media.” Check out their work on Chanel’s latest project below.
