The Compton native’s latest album, GNX, has exploded throughout the Philippine soundscape, scoring two entries on the Billboard Philippines Hot 100 Chart (dated December 7). With his collaborative feature with SZA, “luther,” placing at No. 7 and his viral hit, “squabble up,” circulating at No. 80, the hip-hop legend’s domination over the music scene remains clear.

Marking his sixth studio album and his first full-length feature to be released outside of Top Dawg Entertainment, it’s an homage to the West Coast rap the artist hails from. As such, the influential body of work that also debuted at the top of the Billboard Global 200 Chart.
