anderson.paak burst onto the scene and changed the hip-hop game

From the jump, AFROPUNK vet Anderson .Paak challenged and shaped the sound of contemporary hip-hop with his unexpected, experimental productions. Drawing inspiration from the 1950s, .Paak began putting an R&B, jazz, or hip-hop spin on folk and rock tunes of that time. Even today, those influences can be felt throughout his music, making him one of the most interesting and exciting artists and instrumentalists working in hip-hop today.

Happy 32nd Birthday, Anderson .Paak!
