It’s not even March, and Anderson .Paak is already having the kind of year you only dream of. He won a Grammy for best rap performance for his song “Bubblin.” He has Ventura, a new album executive produced by Dr. Dre, due out April 12, with a tour promoting it featuring support from Thundercat, Earl Sweatshirt, Noname, Mac DeMarco and Jessie Reyez. He just wrapped a sold-out North American tour and is set to embark on a three-week European jaunt. MAGNET photographer Wes Orshoski caught up with the magnificent Anderson at NYC’s Hammerstein Ballroom, and that’s when things got trippy.
