In the world of contemporary music, the hype for new album releases, especially when it’s the next big thing after a hit debut, is real. That’s totally the case for NxWorries, the killer duo of Anderson .Paak and Knxwledge, whose first album Yes Lawd! in 2016 really made a mark in the soul and hip-hop scenes. Fans and critics have been on the edge of their seats waiting for what’s next, and the wait is finally over. The much-anticipated sequel is called Why Lawd? and it’s dropping on June 7 via Stones Throw Records.
With the album news, we got some sneak peeks that definitely set the stage for what’s shaping up to be an epic sound trip. The recent singles “Daydreaming” and “Where I Go” (featuring H.E.R.) gave us a taste of the duo’s updated vibes, mixing soulful tunes with deep lyrics. The latest snippet, a 96-second track called “86Sentra,” nails the chill soul/rap mix NxWorries is loved for. It’s just a quick look, but it already shows the duo at their best, effortlessly blending different music styles with total confidence.
Why Lawd? isn’t just an album drop; it’s the grand return of musical wizardry we’ve all been craving. Picture this: Anderson .Paak’s vocals, so unique they deserve their own genre, mixed with Knxwledge’s beats that are so fresh, they might just slap you with a lawsuit for eavesdropping. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, H.E.R. waltzes into this sound fiesta, hinting this album’s about to break the sound barrier with its new vibes and collabs. Mark June 7 with a big, fat, glittery pen because this isn’t just summer’s next big hit; it’s shaping up to be a historical pivot in the soul and hip-hop universe. Ready your eardrums for a feast!
