Last December, Anderson .Paak and producer Knxwledge put out the “Link Up & Suede” EP, their first release as NxWorries. The Los Angeles duo have now announced their debut LP, “Yes Lawd!”, which will be released on October 21st via Stones Throw.
“On Yes Lawd!”, .Paak – who calls the album “my best work” – plays theatrically brash version of himself who sings like a ’70s superstar and talks shit like a stone cold player. But the performance is seeded with details from his life, which has seen a fair share of struggle and hard-won triumph. Meanwhile, Knx weaves a tapestry of sampled bits and live fragments—bass, brass and violin—that smooths everything over, reminding us that despite whatever struggle it took to get here… well, you already know the name: NxWorries.
Out October 21th, pre-order on Bandcamp, stream below.
