20/20 pres: Anderson .Paak & the Free Nationals

Anderson .Paak. His name has been ingrained in many of the music fans’ hearts for several years now. Combining funk, soul, hip-hop, R&B, blues, electronic and rock & roll, .Paak has been building his reputation as a truly creative musician of the contemporary era. That is, while he started making a name for himself as Dr. Dre’s latest protégé, with the involvement in Compton released in 2015, there is no bubble in his fame—Malibu, .Paak’s new album released this year, is an obvious proof here. As he is without a doubt expressing the highest of his artistic potential through nationwide tours and national television in the United States, the fact that he’ll be performing in Korea soon comes as quite a surprise even for his fans. Guest musicians include Beenzino, DJ Soulscape and Part Time Cooks.
