Kendrick Lamar’s ‘GNX’ Off to a Scorching Streaming Start (And Lifting Old Sample Source Songs With It)


Kendrick Lamar's 'GNX' is off to an incredible start on streaming, and boosting sample-source songs by Debbie Deb, SWV and Luther Vandross.

Starring Cynthia Erivo(Elphaba) and Ariana Grande(Galinda), Wicked was already spurring streaming increases for the Broadway cast recording before it even hit theaters. Alongside Erivo and Grande, fellow cast members Jonathan Bailey, Jeff Goldblum, Ethan Slater, Peter Dinklage and Michelle Yeoh all lend their voices to the soundtrack. Back in 2017, Alabama-born, Cali-based rapper OMB Peezy started making major waves as his “Lay Down” single gained traction across the country.
