The Beginners Guide to Anderson .Paak - Part 2
This post originally appeared on Dave's Music Bin.
Here is part two of my beginners guide to Anderson .Paak. If you're new to my blog, check out part one of the beginners guide here.
In 2014, Breezy LoveJoy dropped his first album under his new moniker - Anderson .Paak. The album, Venice is the culmination of the few years of work .Paak put in before this and showcases the production work of Lo_Def. Many of the tracks produced by Lo_Def and others are bouncy electronic beats, but there are two to three tracks depending on who you're asking that have been the basis for .Paaks sound on subsequent albums. One of the standout tracks here is Miss Right, a self-produced track by .Paak.
In the earlier days of 2016, .Paak released his breakout album Malibu. Malibu is a fast-paced, but a mellow hour of cuts by .Paak and a new roster of talented producers. For those who don't know Malibu was produced on an old Mac Mini with a dented microphone. While working with limited resources .Paak has been able to captivate a wide audience & showcase the breadth of his talents.
Malibu wasn't the last we saw from .Paak in 2016. .Paak & Knxwledge one of his production partners dropped Yes Lawd! - arguably the best project in .Paak's discography. Coming in at just over 45 minutes, Yes Lawd is a soulful R&B album with a hip-hop flair. You can't box .Paak in on this project because the transitions on this tape are fluid. .Paak is unrelentless with his lyrical creativity. Some notable tracks on the project are the lead single - Seude, Kutless and Best One.
Check out Yes Lawd! on Spotify: https://play.spotify.com/album/7v4ntSy3suhIs5Vy96GXVZ

Malibu features production work from Kaytranada, Dem Jointz, and 9th Wonder. If you're looking for a standout track - look no further than "Heart Don't Stand a Chance" produced by DJ Khalil. Throw this into your daily playlist to put some pep in your step and check out Malibu on Spotify: https://play.spotify.com/album/4VFG1DOuTeDMBjBLZT7hCKWe did #Malibu on a Mac mini with an old dented mic off struggle tree and frontu leaf.
