Currently, Kendrick Lamar is sailing high thanks to the release of his fourth official album DAMN., led by the heart-pounding, Mike WiLL Made-It-produced “HUMBLE.” Today, Kendrick continues his momentum forward with a new Nabil-directed visual for the project’s second track “DNA.”, which sees him in his now-popular Kung Fu Kenny persona.

The clip begins with K-Dot handcuffed and presumably strapped to a lie detector machine alongside a detective-playing Don Cheadle. Things go abstract very quickly, with the two unlikely collaborators going back and forth with the song’s lyrics…not long after, Kendrick makes quick work of his adversary and departs the building. This leads to the second half, which sees Kendrick in full on aggression interspersed with girls joyriding in an Impala SS, his gang-affiliated homies and splices of what looks like Lamar’s real life (fellow TDE artist ScHoolboy Q also makes a pointed cameo for added effect).

Enjoy “DNA.” below and stream/download DAMN. here. In related news, Kung Fu Kenny also made an appearance at this year’s Coachella Festival — he was joined by Q, Future and Travi$ Scott for the historic set.

Chris Rock made a joke this past February at the Oscars when he said: “And the last thing I need is to to lose another job to Kevin Hart, okay?” Rock was making a reference to how Kevin Hart was taking all the jobs in Hollywood; he joked that every movie has Kevin Hart in it. “If you look closely he might be the bush in one of them,” he joked. Rock may have been on to something, however, because Hart has definitely not slowed down since his debut of “Laugh At My Pain.”

If you didn’t just see him in the movie Central Intelligence alongside Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, now you’ll get another opportunity to see him doing “stand-up comedy” in his new movie entitled What Now?

Per media site Entertainment Weekly, Hart’s new movie is billed as a stand-up comedy special, in which the comedian will play as a super-spy. You can’t be a good spy without a good partner beside you to help you fight crime, and that’s where Halle Berry comes in- well sort of. She may be his Bond Girl, but she’s not necessarily down for the dirty work. She states: “Kevin, I’m Halle Berry. I don’t get messed up.” Seems like the comedian will be fighting the dirty crime alone. Don Cheadle also makes an appearance in the film as well, making this movie even the more epic to watch.

Per Vibe, fans will follow the superstar as he comes back to Philly to rock his biggest show to date at a sold-out Lincoln Financial Field. This movie will act as the follow-up to his previous 2013 blockbuster film, Let Me Explain. Kevin will also be making history with this film, as it was the first time a comedian has performed at a sold-out football stadium. This one in particular held 50,000 people. Hart’s Let Me Explain grossed 32 million dollars at the box office. Kevin is sure to get that, plus some more, with this new movie/stand-up comedy special.

Seems like everything Kevin Hart touches turns to gold, and something tells me we’re going to be seeing gold for quite some time.

What Now? will be in theaters October 14th. While you’re checking out the trailer above; you can make a rush to the head of the line by getting your tickets now on Fandango.
