Kendrick Lamar has dropped the video to accompany the Black Panther anthem "All the Stars" ahead of the film's release.

The cinematic video - directed by Dave Meyers and The Little Homies - features Lamar with SZA, who is featured on the track in a Black Panther-inspired world.

In it, SZA dances among the stars and galaxies, while Lamar is seen walking through the forest alongside black panthers.

It gets even cooler when Lamar rides in a boat that goes over a boat

The "All the Stars" video is a breathtaking immersion of interstellar effects, bold colours and star quality.

It hits the ethereal vibe of the song spot on and keeps the hype for the forthcoming film going.

At the same time, it's a beautiful ode to black excellence that came just in time for Black History Month.

“All the Stars” is the lead single from the Black Panther soundtrack, which Lamar produced.

The record will feature five new tracks from Lamar, as well as songs from James Blake, Vince Staples, and The Weeknd.
