Anderson .Paak released his highly-anticipated album, Oxnard!
This is the Oxnard native’s fifth studio album and it is produced by the master himself, Dr. Dre. On top of that, Paak’s got quite a few heavy hitters featured on the project, such as J. Cole, Pusha T, and Snoop Dogg.
He already blessed fans with the first dropped single, “Tints” featuring iconic Los Angeles rapper Kendrick Lamar, and dropped some more heat with the track, “Who R U?”
Paak is already known as a man of different genres, so the bar was surely set high for this project. When he sat down for an interview with the L.A. Leakers Justin Credible and DJ Sourmilk, he told them that this one was “creative bliss.”
“The mixes are crazy. It’s no real sleepy music type-like, music to talk over or nothing like that. It’s like music to turn up to dance, when you’re on your way to Vegas, you know, jamming and stuff. I got something for like every vibe…Got the hard “Brother’s Keeper” trap joint, the two-step joint. Got the, you know, ratchet joint…Everything I wanted to do.”
When Paak was live with the Liftoff show, listeners called in to ask him questions:
