Anderson .Paak is finally getting the respect he deserves. After dropping absolutely immaculate projects such as Malibu and the joint album with Knxwledge Yes Lawd!, .Paak has reached the summit with Oxnard. Dr. Dre getting behind the raspy crooner and rapper helped elevate him to a commercially viable status, and Oxnard is being played from the valleys of Los Angeles to the snow-covered streets of New York. The album is a cool mix of funk, soul, R&B, and hip-hop, and Dre's guiding influence can be easily discerned by those who are used to .Paak's vintage sound.
