7 d. ago Kendrick Lamar and SZA review – powerhouse duo make their mark in Atlanta

Mercedes-Benz stadium, AtlantaThe record-breaking Grand National tour brings together two stylistically opposed stars and continues an internet-breaking feudJust when it seemed as if Kendrick Lamar had dropped his grudge against Drake, it turns out his “game over” coda to the Super Bowl half-time show was just the end of regulation.
