Kendrick Lamar and SZA are dominating the music world once again. The powerhouse duo’s latest collaboration, “luther,” from Kendrick’s GNX project, has officially surpassed 1 billion streams on Spotify—making it the fastest song in his career to reach the milestone.
While the two have a history of successful collabs (“All the Stars,” “Doves in the Wind”), “luther” feels like a defining moment. The track not only showcases Kendrick’s lyrical depth and SZA’s emotional vocal delivery, but it also cements their on-screen chemistry as something special—and commercially unbeatable.
