Multi-talented west coast hip-hop artist Anderson .Paak was the latest guest to perform on Saturday Night Live, celebrating and performing two songs from his brand-new album, Oxnard.
Released in mid-November, the Dr. Dre-produced record is the follow up to 2016’s Grammy-nominated Malibu and features collaborations with rappers Kendrick Lamar, Pusha-T, J. Cole, Snoop Dogg, Q-Tip, and BJ the Chicago Kid, and vocalists Kadhja Bonet, Norelle, Cocoa Sarai, and more.
For his Saturday Night Live debut, .Paak performed two songs from the album: “Tints” and “Who R U?”. For the first song, .Paak’s impressive musicianship was on full display from behind the drum kit while he effortlessly delivered his verses in “Tints”. Toward the end of the song, Kendrick Lamar walked on stage to deliver his own parts of the song, much to the surprise of all those watching. Later in the show, Anderson .Paak delivered an exceptional solo performance of “Who R U?”, showcasing his ability to entertain an audience with only his voice, a microphone, and some serious dance moves.
If he wasn’t already on your radar, you better be sure he is now. Anderson .Paak leaves no room for misinterpretation: he’s real, he’s raw, and he’s here to show us all. Watch both performances below.
