Kendrick Lamar and SZA will be embarking on a tour together later this year.

Kendrick Lamar reflected on his relationship with SZA during a new interview with Apple Music ahead of his performance at Super Bowl LIX. For the highly-anticipated event, he'll be bringing SZA along with him. He revealed that they haven't had a chance to discuss how massive of a moment this is for both of their careers as they've been so busy preparing.

"We haven't even had a chance to crash out about it because everything's been moving fast," he began. "As far as production, rehearsals, and stuff, so we speak, but we haven't really got a chance to settle into the moment. For me personally, watching her and her career with where she comes from, it's amazing to see. I get to finally see how certain individuals got to see me come up in the process because I seen her day one come in the studio and write songs, throwing away songs, writing another song, and the songs is hard." He added that he's "honored" to be around her talent. Check out his full thoughts on SZA below.
