god damn, this is sumptuous

 

Made it through a few tracks on this last night before going to bed - loved what I heard. Real excited to put it on again later today

 

This is really really really good

 

Paak and Earl is such a wild combo in terms of vibes, goddamn it works well though

 

whole thing glides like butter

 

This is sooo good. Solidifies NxWorries as my favorite Paak related project, including his solo material. Really happy we got another record

 

Guess this is his divorce album. Paying closer attention on my second listen and the lyrics are really sad

 

album of the summer for sure

 

Still bumping this often and it’s so damn good

The run from Where I Go to Battlefield is up there with his all-time best

 

the chorus of outtheway has been in my head all week

 

Have listened to this every other day this week. I rarely do that because I worry about overplaying things. Think I may be enjoying it.

 

Knxwledge just slathering these beats in butter. Whole thing is so smooth

 

This will definitely be in the running for most played album of the year for me. I just keep casually throwing it on when I don’t immediately know what I want to listen to and then it just sits on repeat

 

Might be my favorite Paak project since Oxnard

 

Definitely his best in a while

 

He hasn’t had an album since Silk Sonic though and that’s phenomenal

 

I do the same

 

I didn't love Silk Sonic tbh

 

I do love Silk Sonic, I guess I wasn't counting that one though, for some reason

 

After Malibu, Silk Sonic is probably my favourite Paak album. It perfectly captures that 70s soul sound. So warm and full, yet with a modern touch. So so good.

 

Oxnard is the only Paak project I don’t really return to outside of Tints.

 

my personal ranking

Malibu
Why Lawd?
Oxnard = Ventura
Yes Lawd
Silk Sonic
Venice
