“GNX” arrived suddenly on Friday, marking the first full-length project he released since 2022’s “Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers.” The album features guest contributions from musicians including SZA, Jack Antonoff, Sounwave, Mustard, Kamasi Washington, Terrace Martin, Lefty Gunplay, Dody6 and many more.

Kendrick Lamar , as those familiar with the work of Eli Russell Linnetz have already figured out, rocks a one-of-one ERL pin belt on the cover of his surprise-dropped GNX album . He also wears the piece in the recently released video for “ Squabble Up ,” directed by Calmatic.
