Released on January 15, 2016, Malibu marked Anderson .Paak’s definitive breakthrough, announcing the full scope of his talents as drummer, singer and rapper. Blending sun-soaked West Coast soul with funk, gospel and boom-bap, the album featured production from 9th Wonder, Madlib, Kaytranada and Hi-Tek, and paired warm, analogue grooves with deeply personal storytelling. Ten years on, Malibu endures as a modern classic—an autobiographical, groove-driven statement that laid the foundation for .Paak’s rise to global, Grammy-winning acclaim.
