Kendrick bagged awards for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance, and Best Music Video for “Not Like Us” at this year’s Grammys.
In his acceptance speech, Kendrick dedicated his win to his hometown of Los Angeles, which has recently been affected by the deadly wildfires: “You know, this is my neck of the woods.”
The “Not Like Us” hitmaker bested Taylor Swift’s “Fortnight,” Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em,” Chappell Roan’s “Good Luck, Babe!” Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather,” Charlie XCX’s “360,” Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso,” and The Beatles’ “Now and Then.”
For Song of the Year, he won against “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” “Birds of a Feather,” “Die with a Smile,” “Fortnight,” “Please Please Please,” “Texas Hold ‘Em,” and “Good Luck Babe!”
The 37-year-old rapper released “Not Like Us” in May 2024, which immediately rose to the charts and was well-loved by critics and listeners alike. The viral song was released amid a feud between him and Drake, where they both dropped diss tracks against each other.
Widely regarded as one of the most influential hip-hop artists and greatest rappers in the music industry, Kendrick Lamar is best known for his hits “Humble,” “All the Stars,” “Like That,” “Money Trees,” and more.
He will be headlining the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show on February 9, 2025.
