Month: April 2025

Kendrick Lamar and SZA have dropped the video for their fan-favorite track “Luther.” The new video precedes Kendrick and SZA’s upcoming Grand National Tour, set to kick off April 19th in Minneapolis before hitting 18 more North American cities. Mustard will serve as support on tour.

The visual for Luther, directed by Karena Evans, finds both musicians in ‘separate realities’ that exist in the same setting; with the video ending with Luther Vandross and Cheryl Lynn’s cover of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell’s “If This World Were Mine,” which is sampled on the chart-topping duet.  Ironically, video director Karena Evans has also previously shot the visuals for several hit Drake tracks (including “Nice For What,” “God’s Plan” and “In My Feelings.”)

“Luther” is Lamar’s sixth No. 1 and SZA’s third,  and currently sits at No. 1 on the Billboard 100 charts for its seventh week.
