In a fusion of Hip-Hop mastery and R&B brilliance, Kendrick Lamar and SZA turned Ford Field into a powerhouse of music, energy, and visual spectacle on June 10. The stop of the Grand National Tour saw the two artists, both fresh off wins at the BET Awards the night before, deliver a near three-hour set that balanced personal artistry with collaborative chemistry, bringing a sold-out Detroit crowd to their feet.
Kendrick aptly opened the show with “Wacced Out Murals,” the first song in the “GNX” album and one that gives reference to Detroit legend Anita Baker. A crowd of nearly 50,000 fans screamed along to the lyrics: “Ridin’ in my GNX with Anita Baker in the tape deck, it’s gon’ be a sweet love.”
One of the 50k people was our man Royce 5’9″. The Detroit legend shared a video of him vibing to Kendrick’s songs like “Not Like Us” and “tv off.”
