With all that, the Kendrick Lamar and SZA Grand National Tour show on May 8 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford sure wasn't dull. The Murphy greeting, on social media, noted that it was a hometown show for SZA, aka Solána Rowe of Maplewood.

Lamar and SZA, former TDE labelmates and both global superstars in their own rights, graced the NYC-area venue for their second of two shows in East Rutherford, N.J., on their blockbuster Grand National Tour. One of the most ambitious treks in hip-hop history, the Grand National Tour is a towering achievement.

Weather may be a factor to the start of concert season at MetLife Stadium as rain is in the forecast for the Kendrick Lamar and SZA shows May 8 and 9.
