  • Kendrick Lamar and Dave Free Launch pgLang’s New Expansion: Project 3

    Kendrick Lamar and Dave Free have taken their creative company, pgLang, to the next level with a bold new expansion called Project 3. This move marks an exciting shift for the duo as they bring their unique vision to a wider range of creative and branding projects.

    Posted on pgLang’s Youtube channel titled “The Agency”. Directed by Dave Free and Jack Begert

    What is pgLang?

    pgLang is a company founded in March 2020 by Kendrick Lamar and his longtime collaborator Dave Free. The company was created as a space for creativity across multiple forms of media, including music, film, design, and visual art. It’s known as an “at-service company,” which means it’s built to help creators and brands tell powerful stories through different creative outlets.

    Over the years, pgLang has earned a strong reputation for innovation, winning six Cannes Lions awards and even being named Independent Agency of the Year in 2023. Until now, most of pgLang’s work has been focused on internal projects and collaborations. But that’s all about to change.

    Introducing Project 3

    project3 is the new technology and product division of pgLang. Its goal is to create “human-centered” technology. Instead of just making another app or gadget, project3 wants to develop products that help people connect with each other and the world in a more meaningful way, with less digital distraction.

    Their very first product is a collaboration with the tech company Light. It’s a special edition of the Light Phone II, a minimalist phone designed to be the opposite of a smartphone. It is currently sold out.

    Kendrick Lamar’s pgLang x Light Phone 2 — a stripped‑down ‘dumb’ phone priced at $299, capped at just 250 units — sold out within hours, offering calling, texting, basic tools, and a shake‑to‑answer “language” feature instead of social media or a browser. – Business Insider

    The pgLang Light Phone

    Here’s what makes this phone different:

    • Minimalist Design: It’s simple and doesn’t have a big, bright screen full of apps.
    • Core Functions Only: You can call and text, but there are no social media, news feeds, or internet browsers to distract you.
    • “Just a Tool”: The idea is to have a phone that serves as a tool, not as a source of endless entertainment or anxiety.

    This special pgLang edition, called the “Light Phone for pgLang,” features unique design elements and aims to help users be more present in their daily lives.

    Why This is a Big Deal 🚀

    This move is important because it shows that Kendrick Lamar and Dave Free are thinking beyond the traditional entertainment industry. By launching project3, pgLang is exploring how technology impacts our lives and our creativity.

    They are not just selling music or merchandise; they are creating tools that reflect their artistic values. It’s a bold step that merges the worlds of hip-hop, art, and tech, proving that pgLang is one of the most innovative creative companies out there today. Keep an eye on project3—it looks like they’re just getting started.

    While we are on the subject of Kendrick Lamar…

    The Grand National Tour—Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s co-headlining North American stadium run in 2025—has generated phenomenal box-office returns grossing over $256 million across 23 shows (based on Billboard reporting) and averaged more than $11 million per night, securing its place as the biggest co-headlining tour of all time and setting multiple box-office records along the way. Shoutout to K-Dot, SZA, and pgLang!

  • Kendrick Lamar & SZA’s Grand National Tour: A Cultural Reset

    Y’all. Let me just say this upfront: Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s Grand National Tour isn’t just a concert series—it’s a cultural reset. As a musical fan who’s been tracking every setlist, surprise guest, and viral moment from TikTok and Twitter (X.com), I’m here to break down why this tour is everything.

    Grand National Tour SOLD OUT show in Chicago 6/6/2025

    🚀 Tour Stats: Breaking Records & Selling Out Cities

    • Sold-Out Domination: 20 out of 23 North American shows SOLD OUT, averaging 49,000 fans per night. From Minneapolis to Toronto, cities are buckling under the demand.
    • Global Reign: shows across the U.S., Canada, and Europe (ending August 9 in Stockholm).
    • The Vibe: Named after Kendrick’s iconic Buick GNX (which literally rises onstage during his opener—chills!).

    🎤 The Magic: Why Their Duo Works

    Kendrick and SZA aren’t just sharing a stage; they’re merging two universes:

    • Kendrick’s World: Moody grays, military-precision choreography, and raw intensity. He raps under a lone streetlamp for “Reincarnated” like a hip-hop noir hero.
    • SZA’s World: A living garden with giant ants (“Anthony”), praying mantis dancers, and butterfly wings. She sang “Saturn” while floating in a cocoon gown—yes, REALLY.
    • Together: Their chemistry explodes during collabs like “All the Stars,” where they rise on separate platforms, singing to the skies. Poetry in motion.

    SZA transforms into a butterfly…or a fairy. We nicknamed her “Thickerbelle”🧚🏾‍♀️

    Doja hits the stage to join SZA in their hit “Kiss Me More”

    SZA soothes Justin Beiber to their duet hit “Snooze”

    Lizzo and her new body performs her hit with SZA, “Special”

    🌟 Special Guests: The A-List Parade

    The surprises have been UNREAL:

    • Playboi Carti jumped out in Atlanta for “Good Credit” squawking like a bird. The moshpit people loved it.
    • Baby Keem (Kendrick’s cousin) crushed “Family Ties” in New Jersey.
    • Lizzo brought viral energy to “Special” in L.A., while Justin Bieber swooned with SZA on “Snooze”. I don’t care what yall say, whatever Justin is going through, it didn’t matter on that stage with SZA. She made sure he felt safe.
    • Doja Cat emerged from literal bushes to perform “Kiss Me More” in Vegas (and I screamed).
    • Celebs in Crowds: Pusha T, Roddy Rich, Lebron James, Queen Latifah, Erykah Badu, Ronald Isley & Kandy Johnson, Jermaine Dupri, Anderson Paak are a few to name who attended shows with their loved ones.

    💄 SZA’s NOT BEAUTY Pop-Ups: Gloss & Glam On Tour

    Between sets, SZA’s been hustling her vegan lip gloss line, NOT BEAUTY, with pop-ups in every city:

    • Shades: “Strawberry Jelly,” “In the Flesh,” and “Quartz” ($23 each).
    • Vibes: Free entry, fan meet-ups, and Kendrick even showed face at the New Jersey event looking all cute and healed. Boss moves.
    Kendrick Lamar surprised fans at SZA’s “Not Beauty” pop-up event in New Jersey at the American Dream Mall.

    🔥 Iconic Moments We’ll Never Forget

    • Super Bowl Tease: Their Halftime Show collab was a sneak peek of this tour’s power
    • Kendrick performing “Good Credit” live. I told yall Good Credit was going to be a hit, but yall were so upset he did a collab with Playboi Carti. Good business is good business and if you got good credit, you’ll get more good business.
    • Kendrick’s “Not Like Us” turned from diss track to Black excellence anthem, backed by vibrant visuals of African art and Funkadelic.
    • SZA’s “Kill Bill” with a female mantis EATING HER MATE on screen. Dark? Yes. Genius? Absolutely.
    • Their fake deposition skit trolling Drake’s lawsuit: SZA smoking a joint while Kendrick orders takeout. PETTY.

    💡 Why This Tour is Changing the Game

    As a fan, here’s my take:

    1. Business Brilliance: By co-headlining, they’ve doubled their reach. Kendrick’s rap stans + SZA’s R&B hive = UNSTOPPABLE.
    2. Artistic Trust: These are two TDE OGs (labelmates since 2013!) who respect each other’s craft. Their collabs (“Luther,” “30 for 30”) feel organic, not forced .
    3. Innovation: Who else blends insect ballets with Pulitzer-level rap? They’re pushing live shows into new dimensions.
    Even got the security guards dancing…

    🎯 Final Thoughts

    The Grand National Tour isn’t just about music—it’s about community. From SZA’s beauty pop-ups (shoutout to the gloss girlies!) to Kendrick’s L.A. hometown love, they’re proving that hip-hop and R&B can share space, shine together, and sell out STADIUMS.

    If you snagged tickets: I envy you. If not? Track those resales. Watch from TikTok! History is being made, and y’all better witness it! 🔥

  • Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s ‘Luther’: A Record-Breaking R&B Hit

    Kendrick Lamar and SZA just dropped a romantic bombshell with their new music video for “Luther,” and the numbers are wild. Not only did the visual rack up 5.3 million YouTube views in its first 24 hours—making it the fastest R&B song to hit that milestone in 2025—but it also crushed Drake’s “Nokia” video, which managed 2.1 million views in its debut week. Let’s break down why this collab is dominating the charts and the conversation.

    By the Numbers: “Luther” vs. “Nokia”

    • 7-Hour Smash: Within just 7 hours of release, “Luther” hit 2.3 million views, overtaking Drake’s “Nokia” (2.1M) to become the 5th biggest YouTube debut for a hip-hop artist this year.
    • 24-Hour Reign: By the end of Day 1, the video soared to 5.3 million views, securing the #1 trending spot on YouTube and setting a new record for R&B tracks in 2025.
    • Chart Domination: The song itself isn’t new—it’s been ruling the Billboard Hot 100 for 7 consecutive weeks, thanks partly to Kendrick and SZA’s show-stopping Super Bowl halftime performance.

    Meanwhile, Drake stans are left scrambling as Kendrick quietly flexes his viral power. Fans online are split, with one user joking, “Drake’s gonna blame bots for this”, while others praise Kendrick’s “authentic” approach to drops: no ads, no countdowns—just a random Friday surprise.

    Inside the “Luther” Video: Love, Architecture, and a Drake Jab?

    Directed by Karena Evans (known for Drake’s “In My Feelings” and “God’s Plan”), the video is a moody, romantic masterpiece. Here’s the vibe:

    • Two Love Stories: Kendrick and SZA are shown with separate love interests—a rare choice that avoids clichés. SZA struts through brutalist hallways, while Kendrick rolls up in a vintage Buick GNX, draped in red cloth.
    • Nostalgic Samples: The track samples Luther Vandross and Cheryl Lynn’s 1980s classic “If This World Were Mine,” which plays in full at the video’s end—a nod to the song’s soulful roots.
    • Subtle Shade?: Hiring Evans, Drake’s frequent collaborator, feels like a cheeky power move amid their ongoing feud. Kendrick’s team hasn’t commented, but fans called it “mind games”.

    The visuals mix bold colors and black-and-white scenes, capturing quiet, intimate moments—like SZA smoking outside a building while Kendrick dances in an empty room. It’s less flashy, more feelings. I also noticed that the location of this video was the same place where the GNX Teaser (or what we fans call the sample ‘Bodies’ was filmed).

    Why “Luther” Can’t Lose

    The track’s success is no accident. It’s the crown jewel of Kendrick’s surprise 2024 album GNX, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 and spawned 12 Hot 100 entries (5 in the top 10). Add SZA’s silky vocals and a timeless sample, and you’ve got a recipe for a record-breaker.

    And the timing? Perfect. The video dropped just 8 days before their joint Grand National Tour kicks off in Minneapolis (April 19), with stops in Atlanta, L.A., and Europe. Expect “Luther” to stay on repeat—both online and onstage.

    Final Take

    Kendrick and SZA didn’t just drop a video—they dropped a statement. While Drake’s “Nokia” had its moment, “Luther” proves that organic buzz, raw talent, and a touch of rivalry can’t be beat. As one fan put it: “Kendrick doesn’t chase numbers; the numbers chase him”.

    Catch the “Luther” video on YouTube—and stay tuned for more sparks when the Grand National Tour hits your city.

  • Drake’s ‘Fighting Irish” Freestyle

    …was really a journal entry that he finally decided to read and share with the class. Produced by Conductor Williams, Drake discussed the following:

    • The beef between he and Kendrick Lamar how he felt LeBron James snaked him during the beef
    • Giving cold shoulders at the All White Party in the Hamptons months after the beef
    • Gave his shoutout to 21 Savage for checking on him.
    • He’s REALLY mad at Lebron James

    One part that stuck out to me was Drake briefly mentioning how his father, Dennis Graham, had another child, and Drake said in the freestyle “…that’s not my sister.” 🤔 (Dennis has plenty other children besides Drake.)

    But Drake…Why release this in 2025? Why not in 2024 after the beef? It seems this was recorded last year. This would have been a good response to “Meet the Grahams” instead of “The Heart, Pt. 6”. Instead, you chose to sue your label for supporting and pushing “Not Like Us” and drop this. No guts, no glory Aubrey.

    Here’s the full clip to freestyle. Take a listen.

  • Work Quietly: Build Success in 2025

    In 2025, it’s time to move different. No more loud announcements, no more looking for claps and likes every step of the way. This year, we’re keeping our heads down, staying focused, and letting the results speak for themselves. Period.

    Nowadays, everybody wants to show off their grind on social media, but real success? It’s built in the quiet moments—when nobody’s watching, and you’re locked in on your goals. When you’re moving in silence, you’re not worried about who’s liking, commenting, or sharing. Your energy is focused on making moves, not making announcements.

    Like Kendrick Lamar said in Wacced out Murals, “Keep your head down and work like I do.” That’s the mindset for 2025—less talk, more action.

    The beauty of keeping your goals lowkey is that you can mess up without feeling judged. You can switch directions and grow. Less eyes on you means less pressure. And let’s be real—not everyone needs a front-row seat to your journey.

    When you work in silence, you build momentum. Little by little, those small steps start stacking up. Before you know it, you’re hitting goals you used to dream about. No distractions, no extra noise, just progress.

    So, how do you lock in for 2025?

    1. Set Real Goals: Know what you want and break it down into steps you can actually take.
    2. Cut the Noise: Spend less time scrolling and more time building.
    3. Celebrate Your Wins (to Yourself): You don’t gotta post every victory. Clap for yourself in private.
    4. Stay Consistent: Show up even on the days you don’t feel like it.
    5. Trust the Journey: It might not always look pretty, but every step counts.

    Remember, the loudest flex is showing up with results nobody saw coming. So for 2025, lock in, stay focused, and let your success do all the talking. Let’s get it!

    If education and changing careers are part of your 2025 goals, why not do it at little to no cost? Check out my recent article about the WIOA grant!

  • The Kendrick Lamar and Drake Saga Continues: From GNX to Lawsuits

    On November 22, 2024, Kendrick Lamar unveiled his much-anticipated album GNX. The 12-track release featured collaborations with renowned artists such as SZA and Kamasi Washington. It explored themes like competition, loyalty, and social dynamics. Tracks like “Heart Pt. 6” and “Squabble Up” garnered significant attention. He also released a video a few days later. Critics and fans dissected it for its symbolism. The best dissection I’ve seen thus far is here on Twitter (X.com).

    “Squabble Up” video

    The Rivalry Reignites

    Kendrick’s GNX poured gasoline on the long-standing rivalry with Drake. Their feud started in 2013 and reignited earlier in 2024 with Lamar’s diss track, “Like That.” The track aimed at both Drake and J. Cole. The beef escalated with response tracks from both sides, including Drake’s rebuttals and Lamar’s searing track, “Not Like Us.” The battle wasn’t confined to lyrics; legal disputes soon followed. Drake took action against Universal Music Group (UMG) and Spotify, alleging shady practices that unfairly boosted streams for Kendrick’s music. Now that I think about it…didn’t he put a Cease and Desist on ‘Like That’?

    Drake’s Tour Announcement

    As tensions simmered, Drake announced his first Australian tour in eight years, kicking off on February 9, 2025. The date was no coincidence—it clashed directly with Kendrick Lamar’s highly publicized Super Bowl halftime performance in New Orleans. Drake’s tour itinerary includes performances in Melbourne, Sydney, and the Gold Coast, extending into March. The announcement, made during a livestream, fueled speculation that Drake intended to overshadow Kendrick’s big moment. It also seemed like he was throwing a shot at Kendrick Lamar. A text thread from someone in Lamar’s camp had a response to the interview.

    Back to Back Lawsuits

    Manipulated Streams

    Drake’s initial lawsuit against UMG and Spotify focused on accusations of streaming fraud. He alleged that Lamar’s track “Not Like Us” received artificially inflated numbers through bots. Pay-for-play schemes also positioned Kendrick’s music unfairly ahead in charts and playlists. Drake’s legal team claimed these manipulations cost him significant opportunities and revenue.

    Defamation Claims

    Shortly after, Drake filed a second lawsuit, this time accusing Lamar of defamation. The lyrics in “Not Like Us” made damning accusations against Drake. They included claims of misconduct and personal attacks. Drake argued these claims were baseless and damaging to his public image. Drake’s camp called the lyrics “recklessly defamatory” and sought legal remedies to protect his reputation. But Drake…you’re the same one who paid for information and location on Kendrick and his family. Let’s not forget the line from his (trash) version of  ‘The Heart Pt. 6’…

    “We plotted for a week, and then we fed you the information.”

    Final Thoughts

    Kendrick Lamar’s GNX has not only solidified his place in music history but also intensified one of hip-hop’s most high-profile feuds. With diss tracks, lawsuits, and career milestones like tours and Super Bowl performances, the rivalry between Lamar and Drake has evolved into a multifaceted battle. Fans and industry insiders alike continue to watch closely, as this saga shows no signs of ending anytime soon. Kendrick said there are no Round 2’s, so between he and UMG, it looks like Drake is arguing with himself.

  • Kendrick Lamar with another Masterpiece: GNX

    Kendrick Lamar’s new album, GNX, has taken the music world by storm. Its surprise release marks another bold move in his illustrious career. The album features 12 tracks, blending thought-provoking lyricism with experimental beats and heartfelt collaborations. Notable highlights include “Luther.” It samples Luther Vandross’ “If This World Were Mine” and features SZA. This collaboration showcases a soulful synergy. Fans of both artists will appreciate it. Another standout, “Squabble Up,” delivers sharp bars over a dynamic beat. It shows Kendrick’s ability to address personal themes. He also addresses cultural themes simultaneously. “Wacced Out Morals,” addressing the controversy surrounding Lil Wayne’s Super Bowl performance, and “Reincarnated,” a reinterpretation of Tupac Shakur’s “Made Ni**az.” The album’s release sets the stage for Kendrick’s upcoming performance at the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show. It also highlights his multiple Grammy nominations.

    West Coast representation on the album includes rappers Dody6, Lefty Gunplay; anchoring the album in Kendrick’s California roots.

    Producers like DJ Mustard, Sounwave, Jack Antonoff, and Kamasi Washington contribute to the album’s diverse sound. They blend jazz, hip-hop, and orchestral elements. Tracks such as “TV Off” push boundaries, incorporating intricate instrumentation and layered vocals. With its reflective themes and innovative production, GNX connects Kendrick’s reputation as a visionary in modern music. (I mean the man does hold a Pulitzer Prize award.)

    Listeners have praised the album for its authenticity and depth, offering both a nostalgic and forward-thinking soundscape. It’s an album that invites repeated listens to fully grasp its artistic and lyrical layers. I listened to this album 6 times with ZERO skips and I believe…This album (or mixtape) is the appetizer before the main course.
