Anderson .Paak is one of the most exciting artists out there at the moment, so it was a no brainer for him to picked for this year’s XXL Freshman cover. The musician, who recently dropped his Malibu album and signed to Aftermath, puts together a refreshing freestyle and introduces himself to those who don’t know much about him yet.
.Paak talks about coming from Oxnard, California, starting his career on the drums, working with Dr. Dre and being inspired by groundbreaking artists like Kanye West and André 3000.
