2025 Super Bowl LIX Megamix (DJ Mix)

There are likely very few people on Earth who understand Kendrick Lamar the way Mustard does. Have a listen to the gleefully unhinged way Lamar yells the acclaimed LA DJ and producer’s name on their collaborative “tv off,” and you’ll know the two are simply connected in a way the rest of us can only pretend to understand. “We both just have a deep respect for where we come from, and we carry that with us everywhere we go,” Mustard tells Apple Music. “And it’s not just about repping the West—it’s about honoring the people who paved the way and making sure the next generation has something to look up to.” The Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show, then, is the perfect platform for someone like Lamar, an artist whose wholly original, Compton, California-bred artistry is beloved across generations. In preparation for Lamar’s performance, Apple Music asked Mustard—producer of “tv off,” “hey now,” and the world-shaking “Not Like Us”—to put together a mix that speaks to what Lamar accomplishes every time he steps into a recording booth. Mustard prioritizes energy across Kdot bars both new and old, his selections united by their shared mission to leave hip-hop better than they found it. “I think, for both of us, music isn’t just a job—it’s our passion, our purpose,” Mustard says. “We want to elevate the game and make sure the stories we tell and the sounds we create stand the test of time.”
