Kendrick Lamar‘s already record breaking Grand National tour has featured its first surprise guest and it couldn’t be a bigger name.
During Lamar and SZA‘s stop off in Atlanta at the Mercedes-Benz stadium, the Compton superstar debuted “N95” on the tour and was then joined by Playboi Carti.
The two then segued into their more recent collaboration “Good Credit” much to the ecstatic delight of the Atlanta crowd.
The Grand National tour has only ran through four dates but it has already been breaking records.
The tour’s first night saw Kendrick break Eminem‘s previous record of highest-grossing rap concert.
According to Touring Data, the opening night in Minneapolis grossed over $9.1 million from more than 47,000 fans at an average price of $192.70.
This means that Kendrick can now boast that he has the single highest grossing Hip Hop concert of all time, surpassing Eminem’s record from when he played in Melbourne, Australia in 2019.
It is also the first rap concert to break the $9 million barrier.
The concert in Minneapolis was also the most attended gig for both Kendrick and SZA outside of festival performances.
