Kendrick Lamar & SZA

When you say Kendrick Lamar, you think of sharp, hard lyrics. SZA? She brings emotion and authenticity. A voice that hits you right away. On their own, they’re strong artists. Together, they’re a power duo. They’ve proven that with hits like All The StarsDoves in the Wind, and more recently Luther and Gloria from Kendrick’s latest album GNX. These two Grammy Award winners have been working together since 2014. From their first collab to their Super Bowl performance - they keep lifting each other to the next level.
