NxWorries 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. Both musicians had deep backgrounds prior to the early 2015 release of their first single,
“Suede”, and its parent EP, Link Up & Suede — dazed funk issued on Stones Throw. 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. The next year, 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 via Stones Throw.
