Lana del Rey x Kendrick Lamar
What is the Lana del Rey x Kendrick Lamar trend?
A mashup audio trend pairing Lana Del Rey's atmospheric slow-burn with Kendrick Lamar's sharp, rhythmic energy. Videos typically run 3-5 lifestyle b-roll or sequential outfit clips timed to the audio's shift in pace. Brands use it to show two contrasting sides of a product, a before-and-after, or a tonal range across a collection. A general-use sound with no fixed text-overlay format.
Origin
The "Lana Del Rey x Kendrick Lamar" TikTok audio trend is built around fan-made mashups blending tracks from the two artists. The most widely circulated variant layers Del Rey's "Art Deco" (from the 2015 album Honeymoon) over Lamar's "Money Trees" (from the 2012 album good kid, m.A.A.d city), with a version credited to TikTok creator @jonbooby. A second prominent variant pairs Del Rey's "Cinnamon Girl" (from the 2019 album Norman Fucking Rockwell!) with "Money Trees," attributed to TikTok account @caraconroy. Both mashups spread through iterative creator adoption as a backdrop for lifestyle b-roll and outfit content in 2024 and 2025; no single originating viral moment has been documented by press or Know Your Meme.
