Anderson .Paak says, 'This is the album I dreamed of making in high school.' His third studio album, Oxnard, the last in his 'beach series' after Venice (2014) and Malibu (2016), offers a vivid view of LA's 'hedonistic landscape'. This one - man show of rapping, singing, and drumming approaches funk from a rap angle, with psychedelic guitars and gospel patterns. With production help from Dr., the beats are rich. Tracks to love include 'Tints' with Kendrick Lamar, a breezy post - disco track; 'Cheers' by Q - Tip where Paak recalls past heartbreaks; 'Anywhere' featuring Snoop Dogg; and the short 'Saviers Road' by 9th Wonder. It's post - gangsta music, a celebration of life. Other features are J. Cole, BJ The Chicago Kid, and Pusha T. It has 14 tracks and is released on Dre's 12 Tone Music label. The album comes as a 2LP pressing in a gatefold sleeve. Highly recommended!
Using this vinyl album is easy. Just place it on a working record player, gently drop the needle on the starting groove, and enjoy the music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting fingerprints or dirt on it. Store the album in a cool, dry place, and keep it in its gatefold sleeve when not in use to protect it from scratches and dust. If the vinyl gets dirty, you can use a soft, anti - static record brush to clean it gently in a circular motion. Don't use any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials on the vinyl as it can damage the surface and affect the sound quality.
