"Last year was good for the California artist. He worked on two acclaimed albums from California hip-hop royalty (the Game's The Documentary 2 and Dre's Compton) and received attention from a number of circles. The reason for this broad interest is his ability to aptly infuse various musical styles under the R&B umbrella. Moreover, his ability to make uptempo soul without losing his ability to invoke a response more typical of downtempo sounds is particularly impressive. If Malibu is anything to go by, 2016 will be an even more notable year for Paak".

"The West Coast-based rapper and singer/songwriter Anderson .Paak showed up frequently on Dr. Dre's Compton. His third album, his most assured and most personal project yet, is informed by voices from the past and full of guests (the Game, ScHoolboy Q, Talib Kweli) who are given ample space to do their best work. Malibu is an expansive opus that flows in multiple directions like a classic '70s double album".
