Kendrick Lamar & SZA Bring Grand National Tour to New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium: 10 Best Moments
Superstar duo Kendrick Lamar & SZA hit New Jersey's MetLife Stadium for two nights of hits and surprise guests, including Kaytranda and Baby Keem.
Both a wildly impressive victory lap and the progeny of over a decade of grueling work from both Lamar and SZA, the Grand National Tour saw two of the most defining artists of the 2010s operating at the height of their powers while ensuring hip-hop always remains at the center. From SZA’s insistence that she’d never forget “that prophet n—-‘s” gas station order to Kendrick ranting and raving about her nagging for Chamoy, the video interludes helped frame the whole show as a victory lap road trip from Compton to St. Louis and beyond. His always-hot mic demonstrated the sheer physicality of his emceeing skills, and Mustard’s opening DJ set and triumphant reappearance during the second half of “TV Off” honored the art of DJing as a foundational principle of hip-hop music and culture.
