NXWORRIES (ANDERSON .PAAK & KNXWLEDGE) ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM
WHY LAWD? OUT JUNE 7TH VIA STONES THROW RECORDS
SHARES NEW SINGLE “86SENTRA“
Anderson .Paak and Knxwledge reunite for the long-awaited return of NxWorries, 8 years after the release of their cult classic debut album Yes Lawd!. In the time since, .Paak has gone on to achieve global superstardom through his solo career and Silk Sonic, his collaborative project with Bruno Mars. Knxwledge has meanwhile cemented his legacy as one of the great beatmakers of our time, a Grammy-winner with a prolific catalog of his own in addition to being called on by the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Earl Sweatshirt, and others.
NxWorries are back now to announce their long-awaited sophomore album Why Lawd? due June 7th via Stones Throw Records. They also share “86Sentra” which sees the duo returning to their notoriously suave and self-assured signature sound. The single arrives alongside a visualizer created by Rhymezlikedimez that depicts the duo in a cartoon form cruising through a technicolor Los Angeles.
Along with the new song, Why Lawd? will include previously released tracks “Daydreaming” and “Where I Go” featuring H.E.R., which garnered praise from the New York Times and Pitchfork, among others.
Listen to “86Sentra” above and stay tuned for more from NxWorries coming soon.
More on NxWorries
NxWorries is the duo of Knxwledge and Anderson .Paak, two of the major figures who emerged from Los Angeles’ fertile multi-genre music community during the 2010s. Both musicians had deep backgrounds prior to the early 2015 release of their first single, “Suede”, and its parent EP, Link Up & Suede — dazed funk issued on Stones Throw. That year alone, they separately contributed to two of the year’s biggest albums. Knxwledge co-produced “Momma”, a track off Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp A Butterfly, while Paak was heavily featured on Dr. Dre’s Compton . The next year, after Knxwledge and Earl Sweatshirt issued “Balance” and Paak was heard on tracks by KAYTRANADA, ScHoolboy Q, Jack Garratt, and Mac Miller, Stones Throw released Yes Lawd!, a NxWorries full-length. Yes Lawd! Remixes appeared the following year, again via Stones Throw. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi.
