NxWorries Confirm New Album ‘Why Lawd?’ & Share Vibey ’86Sentra’ Single

NxWorries, the duo of Anderson .Paak and Knxwledge, officially announced their second album, Why Lawd?, due out on June 7 via Stones Throw Records. The long-awaited LP is previewed with “86Sentra,” which arrived with an accompanying video.

NxWorries released their debut album, Yes Lawd!, in 2016 to critical acclaim. The collab between drummer/MC Anderson .Paak and producer Knxwledge boasted standout tracks “Suede,” “Link Up” and “Lyk Dis.”

A new album from NXWorries has been on the horizon since the duo released a pair of singles, “Daydreaming” and “Where I Go,” the latter featuring H.E.R., in 2023 and 2022 respectively. Both tracks are set to land on Why Lawd? The duo also toured across the globe last year.

Anderson .Paak detailed his numerous projects including NxWorries and Silk Sonic in an interview with The Root in 2023.

“Everything comes full circle. A lot of people don’t know that when Knxwledge and I signed to Stones Throw Records, that was one of my first-ever record contracts. I’ll always have the freedom to go in and do something completely different with Knxwledge or with [Bruno Mars] as Silk Sonic. I’ll always have the freedom to do Free Nationals or DJ Pee .Wee. All these different musical personalities are a lot of fun for me because I can get bored doing the same thing. I don’t like to be comfortable. I like to push for different sounds and I feel like me and Knxwledge’s sound, NxWorries, is really needed right now.”

Both artists took to social media to announce Why Lawd? As well as to share another preview, “86Sentra.” The track arrived with a visual created by Rhymezlikedimez. Watch below:
