NxWorries

NxWorries is a duo pairing California singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Anderson .Paak with beatmaker Knxwledge. Anderson .Paak gained wide attention for his heavy presence on Dr. Dre's 2015 album Compton, while Knxwledge built a reputation in the beat-tape scene and contributed production to Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly. Together they blend soul, funk and lo-fi hip hop into a warm, groove-driven sound distinct from either artist's solo work.

The pair's debut album, Yes Lawd!, was released in October 2016 on Stones Throw Records and became a critical favorite, praised for its loose, jazzy grooves, crackly sampled textures and Anderson .Paak's raspy, expressive vocal delivery over Knxwledge's understated, dusty production. Songs like «Suede», «Lyk Dis» and «Best One» showcased a laid-back, intimate chemistry that felt like a throwback to classic soul while still sounding modern.

NxWorries remains a beloved project within alternative R&B and hip hop circles, valued for its unpolished, feel-first approach at a time when Anderson .Paak's profile was rapidly growing through his own acclaimed solo albums and high-profile collaborations.
