Grammy award winning artist Anderson . Paak announced a new album that will be released April 12 by Aftermath Entertainment and distributed exclusively by 12 Tone Music, LLC. His fourth album, Ventura, is executive produced by Dr. Dre. It was also recorded at the same time as his most recent album, Oxnard.
Not only are fans getting new music, but Anderson .Paak also announced the news of his biggest tour yet with shows including venues like Madison Square Garden and Red Rocks. Produced by Live Nation, he will be supported by Thundercat for the entirety of the tour and by Earl Sweatshirt, Noname, Mac DeMarco and Jessie Reyez on select dates.
Anderson’s success is on the rise, especially with his release of Oxnard in 2018. The album featured single “Bubblin” which went on to win him a Grammy for Best Rap Performance and an appearance on Saturday Night Live performing “Tints” with special guest Kendrick Lamar. Oxnard helped Anderson reach a career high as it hit the number one Independent album in the country according to Billboard in addition to debuting number five on the Rap chart, number six on the Hip Hop/R&B chart and number 11 on the Top 200. This album was also executive produced by Dr. Dre and included tracks with hip-hop legends like Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg, J.Cole, Q-Tip and Pusha T. After the release of Oxnard, he embarked on a sold-out tour in the U.S. and Europe. The Best Teef in the Game tour will take Anderson across the country with stops for festivals like Boston Calling.
Tickets for the tour go on sale Friday, March 8 and can be purchased here. Each ticket purchased online will include a CD or digital copy of Ventura.
