NxWorries

NxWorries ("no worries") is the duo of Knxwledge and Anderson .Paak, two of the major figures who emerged from Los Angeles' fertile multi-genre music community during the 2010s. Recording eccentric funk and hip-hop for the local and revered Stones Throw label, they debuted their partnership with 2015's Link Up & Suede EP, and followed up the next year with the Yes Lawd! album. They resumed in 2022 with the H.E.R. collaboration "Where I Go," and delivered a more collaborative second album, the Grammy-winning Why Lawd?, two years later. Both Knxwledge and the Grammy-winning Paak had deep backgrounds before the early 2015 release of their first single, "Suede," and its parent EP, Link Up & Suede. That year alone, they separately contributed to two of the year's biggest albums. Knxwledge co-produced "Momma," a track off Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly, while Paak was heavily featured on Dr. Dre's Compton. In 2016, after Knxwledge and Earl Sweatshirt issued "Balance" and Paak was heard on tracks by Kaytranada, ScHoolboy Q, Jack Garratt, and Mac Miller, Stones Throw released Yes Lawd!, a NxWorries full-length. Yes Lawd! Remixes appeared the following year, again on Stones Throw. Knxwledge's continued prolific rate of solo output included the 2020 Stones Throw album 1988, while Paak issued Oxnard and Ventura, and as one-half of Silk Sonic nearly topped the Billboard 200 chart in 2021. Knxwledge and Paak made time to reconvene and returned the following year with "Where I Go," a ballad featuring co-writer H.E.R. and additional writing input from Maxx Moor. "Daydreaming," another slow jam, was out in 2023. The braggadocious "Sentra86" and aching "FromHere" served as the final previews of Why Lawd?, which landed in June 2024. In addition to H.E.R. and "FromHere" collaborators Snoop Dogg and October London, the likes of Charlie Wilson, Thundercat, Rae Khalil, Earl Sweatshirt, and Dave Chappelle made featured appearances. Why Lawd? won the award for Best Progressive R&B Album at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards.
