Kendrick Lamar BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

I am riding a wave of major headlines this week as my collaboration Freedom with Beyoncé is the soundtrack for the much-hyped new Leonardo DiCaprio film One Battle After Another. This Paul Thomas Anderson project, also starring Teyana Taylor, Sean Penn, and Benicio del Toro, has reviewers raving about how perfectly our anthem sets the tone in the trailer. The movie drops September twenty-sixth, and while nobody’s confirmed if our track will be in the final cut, social buzz is building fast. Variety reports that I am also starring in and producing my first-ever feature film, a currently untitled comedy born from a collaboration with South Park masterminds Trey Parker and Matt Stone. That film, rumored to be called Whitney Springs, follows a Black man interning as a slave re-enactor who discovers his white girlfriend’s ancestors owned his. I’ll admit, the premise is bold. Chloe East of The Fabelmans and newcomer Celeste Octavia are attached, but Paramount is keeping most other details under wraps as the new release date has shifted to March twentieth, twenty twenty-six to avoid overlap with my Grand National Tour and the Jurassic Park blockbuster.

Speaking of the tour, every city from London to LA has been on fire since SZA and I kicked things off April nineteenth. Ticket demand is wild, with seats ranging from under a hundred dollars to nearly three hundred at arena stops like SoFi Stadium and MetLife. AOL points out that early tour stops have drawn enormous crowds, and even my halftime Super Bowl cameo sent headlines flying—especially with my not-so-subtle jabs at industry rivals. My signature blend of social commentary and razor-sharp wit has fans glued to each performance, speculating about new unreleased material and viral moments. Social media is pulsing with concert clips, especially my recent blowouts in London, which RapDirect and Our Generation Music have both spotlighted for their electrifying energy and sold-out crowds.

On the numbers front, RatingsGameMusic just confirmed I blew past eight billion Spotify streams for twenty twenty-five, putting me on pace for my biggest digital year ever. Speculation about new music is swirling online, especially after a July twenty-fifth studio session post from VeniceMusic revealed my engineer working on fresh material. While I’ve remained tight-lipped about any official release, fans are buzzing over possible new tracks surfacing soon. Right now, every move is getting amplified—every stage appearance, every business foray, even rumors from set—all suggesting the next Kendrick Lamar era is only just beginning.
