Anderson Paak - Malibu (10 Year Anniversary Edition) Limited Edition 2LP

Release Date: 18.4.26 10 years ago Anderson .Paak didn’t just release an album – he took over the soul and hip-hop scene. The album Malibu was released on January 15, 2016 and showed the world who he really was, after years of working hard under the radar and getting a big jump when he participated in Dr. Dre’s Compton album. On this album, everyone met his character – “Cheeky Andy”: a crazy drummer, a singer with a rough voice and a sharp and witty rapper – all in one person. The album feels like a sunny trip along the coast of Southern California. The music combines 70s funk, church gospel and classic hip-hop, creating a sound that feels both nostalgic and futuristic. The production involved big names like 9th Wonder, Madlib, Kaytranada and Hi-Tek. That’s why the album sounds warm and analog, with a real live groove. Aside from the upbeat songs like "Am I Wrong" and "Come Down," the album is also deeply personal. Paak talks about his life—his mom's gambling addiction, his dad's prison time, and even a time when he was almost homeless. Despite the heavy subject matter, he tells it with a lot of power and hope. There are also guests like ScHoolboy Q, Rapsody, and The Game who add to the West Coast vibe. 10 years later, Malibu is considered a modern classic. This album helped make Anderson .Paak a global star and Grammy winner, and showed that the most powerful music comes from the artist's personal stories.
