Anderson .Paak’s “Oxnard” has Killer Bass Lines
Anderson .Paak’s highly anticipated third album, Oxnard, is available now. The star-studded effort is the realization of the singer/drummer’s “beach series” and features guests including Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dog, Pusha T, J. Cole, Q-Tip, and more.
“This is the album I dreamed of making in high school when I was listening to Jay-Z’s The Blueprint, The Game’s The Documentary, and Kanye West’s The College Dropout,” .Paak told Rolling Stone.
The album is filled out with incredible bass lines by four musicians: Kelsey Gonzales of Paak’s band The Free Nationals, Curt Chambers, Eric Griggs, and Stephen “Thundercat” Bruner. Check out the killer hook crafted by Gonzales on “6 Summers”:
