Kendrick Lamar is standing on business. Lamar returned with his first song since the nuclear “Not Like Us” Drake diss on Wednesday (Sept. 11).

As of press time, the track is available only on K. Dot’s Instagram account. The five-minute sneer-fest arrived without a title, but has a heavily creased pair of Black Air Force Ones as the cover art.

Lamar addresses his disgust with what he sees thriving in society and admits he’d trade a lot of those sucking up the Earth’s oxygen to get the late great Nipsey Hussle back.

“I know b—-s that’s harder than a lot of you n—-s/ Would trade y’all for Nip I can’t be proud of you n—-s,” he raps of his “Dedicated” collaborator.

Next, the Compton legend turns his attention to what’s being pushed on the radio airwaves and television screens across the country.

“The radio personality pushing propaganda for salary/ Let me know when they turn up a casualty/ I want agony,” Lamar spews.

Essentially, K. Dot sounds fed up with society.

“Thank god. Quality hip-hop has been missing,” one excited fan wrote in his comments section.

Lamar was announced as the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show headliner on Sunday (Sept. 8); he’ll take the Caesars Superdome stage in New Orleans on Feb. 9. There’s been much debate in the hip-hop community about Kendrick being chosen to headline the big show, as some — such as Nicki Minaj –weren’t thrilled to see Lil Wayne, who is a New Orleans native, get snubbed.
