Summary: This is how babies are made.
About Artist: Silk Sonic is the newly formed supergroup duo of Anderson .Paak and Bruno Mars. They are a match made in heaven and are two artists that I’ve loved for a long time. I got on team Bruno Mars when “Nothing on You” came out in 2009 and have been an Anderson .Paak fan since “Venice” in 2014.
About Song: This song came out yesterday and is the lead single off of their upcoming album “An Evening with Silk and Sonic”.
Favorite Part: Love the vocals, love the drum fills, love the vibe, I love it all.

Summary: Don’t stop now, keep dreaming!
About Artist: Anderson .Paak is a California artist who stays at the cutting edge and had a great 2016 releasing his third album “Malibu” in January 2016.
About Song: This song is the outro track of the album.
Favorite Part: I love the music, the funky baseline, the choir, the whole concept of the song (and of the Malibu album for that matter).
“I’m on my fifth brew and my rent’s due
Sixth and west roof
I can see it all
Hold on to my hand, that’s my little dude
Look at Kenzo, swagging like his paw
One for the occasion and get ya good suit
Fuck your reservation
Bitch, I brought ’em all
Look at where you came from, Californication
Since a little baby skating in boogie boards
And raiding your cookie jar, my radio analog
I wanted them Nike’s
Mama got me Lugz” (0:38)
Love the hook, I’m a product of the tube and the free lunch.

Phil Ade – “Xscape” (2014)
The Game – “Do It To You (ft. Trey Songz)” (2016)
Xscape “Who Can I Run To” (1995)
In January 2016 I heard The Game’s “Do It To You (ft. Trey Songz)”. That reminded me of this Anderson .Paak version from September 2015. I really liked the Anderson .Paak version which at the time reminded me of the Phil Ade’s song “Xscape” (2014). Of course the original is by Xscape and is called “Who Can I Run To” (1995).
Favorite Part: Love the track and I love all of the versions…
