Kendrick Lamar’s “TV Off” won Best Rap Song at the 2026 Grammys.
The track appears on GNX, Lamar’s sixth studio album, which arrived as a surprise release in November 2024. It features Lefty Gunplay and became one of the album’s most recognizable high-energy moments, especially because of its emphatic “Mustard” refrain and Lamar’s forceful delivery.
Best Rap Song is a songwriter-focused award. The 2026 winners’ credits included Jack Antonoff, Larry Jayy, Kendrick Lamar, Dijon McFarlane, Sean Momberger, Mark Anthony Spears, and Kamasi Washington. This differs from Best Rap Performance, which emphasizes the recorded performance itself and can have a different winner.
“TV Off” was also part of a particularly strong Grammy showing for GNX. Lamar won Best Rap Album for the full project, while “Luther,” his collaboration with SZA, won Record of the Year and Best Melodic Rap Performance. Those separate results are why “Luther,” “Anxiety,” and “TV Off” can all appear among related quiz options.
