SZA praised Kendrick Lamar and their long-running creative chemistry while reflecting on their recent tour and multiple collaborations in a new GQ interview.

The “Kill Bill” singer, speaking in GQ’s Man of the Year issue, described Lamar as a disciplined and deeply intentional artist whose process she admires. Their artistic partnership dates back to 2014, when they first teamed up on SZA’s Z EP. Since then, they’ve shared the stage on a stadium tour in 2023 and collaborated on several tracks, including the Grammy-nominated “All the Stars” from the Black Panther soundtrack.

Their most recent collaborations include “Gloria” and “Luther” from Lamar’s latest album GNX, along with “30 for 30” from SZA’s 2024 project Lana. The pair’s creative relationship continues to evolve, nearly a decade after their first track together was released in 2014.
