Let’s dive into a night where Hip-Hop shone brighter than ever, and Kendrick reminded us all why he’s got the crown—perched right beside his influencer status and killer collaborations, of course!

The BET Hip-Hop Awards success comes as rumors continue to circulate about Lamar working on a new album. His former TDE labelmate, SZA, recently hinted at a new project being in the works in a post on X (formerly Twitter). Additionally, Terrace Martin confirmed the news while streaming on Instagram Live, earlier this year. “Aye, let me tell y’all the records I’m excited for. I’m excited for YG’s album, I’m excited for Mustard’s album. I’m excited for a lot of people, but there’s two albums, I’m going cr*zy, I can’t wait ’til they drop,” he explained at the time. “Roddy Ricch album and whenever Kendrick drops his album, I’m excited for those two. Those two Compton artists is like, I’m excited. So much sh*t bubbling, you know?”
On top of working on a new album, Lamar is also gearing up to headline the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show in New Orleans. Much to the dismay of Drake and Lil Wayne fans, the NFL announced him as the leading act, last month. Be on the lookout for further updates on Kendrick Lamar on HotNewHipHop.
