Having somehow slipped under my radar upon its release, I’m finally sharing the new video from NxWorries. Eight years after the success of their debut, Yes Lawd!, Anderson Paak and knxwledge are on course to succeed once again with the release of Why Lawd?. Having teased us with a couple of singles over the last 12 months, this month saw the release of a brand new video titled 86Sentra, featuring some appropriately smooth animation from Rhymezlikedimez. The full album is due for release on 7 June via Stones Throw. More on that soon.

The trio first collaborated back in 2017 when they released Teal – a personal favourite from the Village Live catalogue.

It’s been a while since we heard from NxWorries, but yesterday Anderson .Paak and Knxwledge reappeared with a brand new single, in the form of Where I Go.

Another fine debut here, as Indira May releases the latest video from her recent Simpler Things EP.

You can watch the video above and you can get a taste of the rest of the EP below, with other streaming options available on the usual platforms.
