If there is one person who has disappointed in 2020, it is Kendrick Lamar. Rumors that a new album would arrive are pretty much dead after the pandemic hit as well as the protests, which left itself and the TDE camp to a better time. And while many of us believe it’s a better time than ever, we’re still waiting for the announcement that Kendrick’s sequel to DAMN. is on the way. Or, at least, a single one to hold us for the times.

While he was away cooking his next project, a new generation of rappers jumped out of the ground. Roddy Ricch is the youngest of Compton to carry the torch, but The Kid LAROI, whose association with Juice WRLD catapulted his career, in Australia was one of the latest new names to emerge. How hot, can you ask? Apparently, his monthly listeners are higher than Kendrick Lamar, who probably sent Twitter into a frenzy. A comparison shared by XXL revealed that LAROI has 25,569,361 monthly listeners, while Kendrick Lamar currently owns 24,470,054.

It should be noted that Kendrick Lamar has not abandoned a project in about four years. In addition, he has not released one lately. The Kid LAROI, on the other hand, has launched its project F * CK LOVE in 2020 and win the teen demographic.
