November is coming to an end, but things are just starting to heat up in the music world with the slew of new drops this week.
To kick things off, Kendrick Lamar unveiled his sixth studio album, GNX, without any warning on Friday (Nov. 22). The 12-track project features contributions from SZA — who appears on “Luther” and “Gloria” — Jack Antonoff, Kamasi Washington, Roddy Ricch and more.

Continuing in the hip-hop space, Jack Harlow dropped “Hello Miss Johnson,” marking his first single since 2023’s “Lovin on Me,” which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for six weeks.
Meanwhile, BLACKPINK’s Rosé continued the rollout of her upcoming solo album Rosie with “Number One Girl,” a powerful track that was written after reading hate comments about herself. “I was so obsessed with these people who were not nice to me and who really didn’t know me,” she told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe.
With the highly anticipated Wicked adaptation starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo finally in theaters, the soundtrack also arrived with a collection of the film’s 11 songs.
That’s just the tip of the iceberg. This week’s releases also include Jelly Roll’s “Run It” from the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 soundtrack, Wizkid’s Morayo (with features from Jazmine Sullivan, Brent Faiyaz and Asake, among others), Lil Nas X’s “Need Dat Boy,” Quevedo’s Buenas Noches, Miguel’s “Always Time” and more.
