Kendrick Lamar and SZA release music video for ‘GNX’ track “Luther”

The Compton rapper has released a video for “Luther,” his chart-dominating GNX collaboration with former Top Dawg Entertainment labelmate SZA.

K. Dot and SZA unveil “Luther” visual

Kendrick Lamar and SZA has released a music video for their smash GNX collaboration “Luther” on Friday, (April 11). Directed by Karena Evans, the visual serves as the perfect complement for the Luther Vandross-sampling love song.

“Luther” has been one of the biggest hits of 2025 so far, enjoying a steady rise up the Billboard Hot 100 charts especially after Lamar and SZA performed it during the former’s Super Bowl Halftime Show in February. As of this week, “Luther” had secured its seventh straight week at Number One on the Hot 100, too. (It’s the second song from GNX to hit Number One, following “Squabble Up,” which enjoyed a week atop the chart after GNX was released last November.)

The “Luther” video also fittingly arrives just as Lamar and SZA prepare to launch their highly-anticipated Grand National stadium tour. The trek is set to kick off April 19 in Minneapolis and wrap June 18 in Washington D.C.

Kendrick Lamar and SZA have been close friends and collaborators for years, though this will be the first time they’ve ever toured together. (Lamar did join SZA onstage at her two Coachella performances in 2016 and 2018, though.) While Lamar will be supporting GNX, SZA recently released Lana, a deluxe reissue of her hit 2022 album, SOS.
