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.

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.

Lamar, 37, and SZA, 35, have enjoyed a big brother/little sister bond ever since they became label mates on TDE Records and ascended to the top of their respective genres. Joint shows can be messy, especially when they pull a particular artist out of their comfort zone.
