Kendrick Lamar really is “Not Like Us.”

The Pulitzer Prize-winning rapper not only dropped a surprise new album recently, but he’s also hit the top of the charts and announced he’s heading out on tour with a frequent collaborator.

His latest, titled “GNX,” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, while five of its singles also took the top five slots in the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart.

They are, in order, “Squabble Up,” GNX: “TV Off” (featuring Lefty Gunplay), “Luther” (with SZA), “Wacced Out Murals” and “Hey Now” (featuring Dody6).

“Squabble Up” is Lamar’s fifth Hot 100 No. 1 and his third of this year. Having the top five singles in one week puts him in the rare company of artists Taylor Swift, Drake and The Beatles, who are the only others to ever notch that achievement.

Two other tracks from the new album also hit the top 10 – “Reincarnated” (No. 8) and “Man at the Garden” (No. 9).

It was also announced that Lamar will be going on tour with SZA in April, following his planned Super Bowl halftime headliner appearance.
