NxWorries: Why Lawd? [Stones Throw]
Why Lawd? is the second studio album by NxWorries, following Anderson .Paak and Knxwledge's beloved 2016 debut, Yes Lod! In his review of the new album, Dylan Green writes, “Knxwledge supplies .Paak with some of the most compelling production of his career. The blows Why Lawd? they're elaborately constructed, each one a treasure hunt to say they're all made of tiny pieces of other songs.” Furthermore, he adds, “Why Lawd? leans towards a brutality and fear Yes Lod! it only hints.”
