Kendrick Lamar BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Kendrick Lamar has been making waves across the music industry and beyond in recent days. His song "PRIDE." from the album 'DAMN.' just became his 11th track to surpass 1 billion Spotify streams, adding to his impressive catalog of billion-stream hits.

On the touring front, Kendrick continues his Grand National Tour with SZA, which began in April. The co-headlining tour recently hit Las Vegas with a show at Allegiant Stadium, and will continue through June 18 when it wraps in Washington, D.C. For fans in Chicago, the South Shore Line has announced special transportation accommodations for their upcoming June 6 performance at Soldier Field, including special stops at the 18th Street Station to connect directly to the venue.

Looking ahead, reliable tour trackers suggest an unconfirmed European leg of the tour might begin in July 2025, potentially including stops in Paris, Amsterdam, Barcelona, and Rome, though no official announcement has been made yet.

In a nostalgic moment circulating on social media, fans commemorated that seven years ago, Kendrick received thanks from X (formerly known as XXXTentacion) after making a statement about removing his music.

On the business front, sources connected to Kendrick's creative collective pgLang indicate behind-the-scenes work to expand into film and multimedia, aligning with his interest in visual storytelling. This suggests Kendrick may be broadening his creative footprint beyond music.

The rapper was also reportedly spotted at a J. Cole concert in Los Angeles, sparking speculation about a potential collaboration between the two artists. He's maintained his characteristic low profile on social media while continuing to generate buzz.

Looking back slightly further, Kendrick made headlines by winning Best Male Hip Hop Artist at the 2024 BET Awards despite not releasing a new album that year – a testament to his enduring influence in the genre. Fans can look forward to the upcoming BET Awards 2025, scheduled for June 9.

These developments collectively paint the picture of an artist whose cultural impact continues to grow, even during relatively quiet periods in his release schedule.
