On Yes Lawd!, Anderson .Paak plays a theatrically brash version of himself who raps and sings like a '70s superstar and talks shit like a stone cold player. The performance is seeded with details from his life, which has seen a fair share of struggle and hard-won triumph. Meanwhile Knxwledge weaves a tapestry of sampled bits and live fragments —bass, brass and violin — that smooths everything over, reminding us that despite whatever struggle it took to get here... well, you already know the name: NxWorries.
