If there is one person who disappointed in 2020, it is Kendrick Lamar. Rumors that a new album would arrive were almost killed after the pandemic hit, as well as protests, causing him and the TDE camp to hold out until a better time. And while many of us believe that now is a better time than any other, we are still waiting for the announcement that Kendrick’s pursuit of DAMN IT. is on the way. Or at least one to keep us down for a while.

As he set out to prepare for his next project, a new generation of rappers emerged from the ground. Roddy Ricch is the latest from Compton to carry the torch, but in Australia, The Kid LAROI, whose association with Juice WRLD catapulted his career, was one of the hottest new names to appear. How hot, you might ask? Apparently, his monthly listeners are older than Kendrick Lamar, who apparently sent Twitter into a frenzy. A side-by-side comparison shared by XXL revealed that LAROI has 25,569,361 monthly listeners, while Kendrick Lamar currently has 24,470,054.

It should be noted that Kendrick Lamar has not given up on a project for about four years. In addition, he hasn’t released any lately. Kid LAROI, on the other hand, launched his project F * CK LOVE in 2020, gaining the demographics of adolescents.
