Kendrick Lamar, SZA setlist: All the songs on their Grand National Tour
In a year that has already witnessed Kendrick Lamar scoop up five more Grammys (total so far: 22) and captivate – or agitate – a record-setting 133 million viewers during his Super Bowl halftime performance, the Grand National Tour with co-headliner SZA continues his leap to superstardom.
The Compton rapper and R&B maven SZA jumpstarted the 39-date stadium tour – a rarity for a rapper – April 19 at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
The 2 1/2-hour performance was prefaced by a 30-minute DJ set by Lamar pal Mustard, who produced the Drake-dissing “Not Like Us.”
Staged as a true co-headlining adventure, the show kicked off with Lamar rising from the bottom of the stage inside a Buick GNX that has become an unofficial mascot of his current era and rolling into “wacced out murals” from his “GNX” album.
He and SZA traded the spotlight, with each owning the stage for a handful of songs before ceding to the other. But with so many collaborations (“30 for 30,” “All the Stars,” “Luther”), the pair also frequently prowled the stage together.
While the lighting on the massive main stage, catwalks and octagon-shaped Energy Floor was frequently dim, there was never a problem hearing SZA belt or Lamar unfurl a litany of rhymes, evidenced by the deafening singalongs by the crowd of about 60,000.
Lamar is one of few rappers to fill stadiums and with a co-pilot as saucy as SZA, the duo proved a deeply talented partnership.
Here are all of the songs played on the Grand National Tour.
