Kendrick Lamar & SZA’s “Luther” Continues Billboard Hot 100 Domination With New Music Video
Kendrick Lamar and SZA are proving their staying power as their GNX collaboration, Luther, continues its reign on the Billboard Hot 100. To fuel the track’s momentum even further, the duo has released a highly anticipated music video, offering fans an intimate and heartfelt visual that perfectly complements the song’s themes.
The video keeps things simple yet powerful, focusing on close relationships and emotional connection. Many fans had been eagerly waiting for a visual interpretation of Luther, especially considering the song’s sample of If This World Were Mine, originally performed by Luther Vandross and Cheryl Lynn. The homage to the classic track only adds to the song’s impact, and the music video further solidifies its place as one of the most cherished releases of the year.
Kendrick Lamar’s Beef Still Looms in the Background
Despite the wholesome nature of Luther, Kendrick Lamar remains at the center of ongoing hip-hop debates, largely fueled by his ongoing battle with Drake. Ever since their rivalry took over the rap world last year, every move Kendrick makes is met with speculation and discussion. Some fans are already comparing the Luther video to the long-awaited NOKIA music video, predicting that Drake’s supporters and critics will use it as another point in their ongoing war of words.
However, Kendrick and SZA seem entirely focused on their art, letting the music speak for itself. This release marks another victory for both pgLang and TDE, showcasing the creative strength of two of the biggest names in modern R&B and hip-hop.
Grand National Tour Is Just Around the Corner
The timing of Luther‘s video couldn’t be better, as it serves as the perfect preview for Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s highly anticipated Grand National stadium tour. The North American leg kicks off in just under a week, running through June before the duo heads to Europe in July and early August.
Tickets are still available through resale and select retail outlets, though they come at a hefty price. Regardless of cost, the demand for this tour remains sky-high, with fans eager to witness Kendrick and SZA’s chemistry live on stage.
A Celebration of an Era
With the Grand National tour on the horizon, Luther’s continued success marks the final stretch of what has been a defining era for both Kendrick Lamar and SZA. Their collaboration has struck a deep chord with fans, and this latest music video is a testament to their artistic synergy.
While some may view the video as minimalist, its emotional depth is undeniable. It serves as another reminder that sometimes, fans do get exactly what they’ve been asking for. And in this case, it’s yet another reason why Kendrick Lamar and SZA remain at the top of the game.
