Anderson .Paak reveals his new album will drop in April

It's only been three months since .Paak's Oxnard album arrived, and already he's gearing up to drop more new music.

Ventura was recorded at the same time as Oxnard, and also features Dr. Dre as the executive producer.

On his upcoming album, .Paak says, "Growing up in Oxnard gave me the grit and the church to find this voice of mine. One town over I went further and found my depth. The duality of each place inspired me greatly and from that I made two albums at the exact same time but held one back because that would have been too many songs to perform live for you all! I like ending things on an even number so welcome to Ventura".

News of his forthcoming album also arrives with a fresh batch of tour dates, which will see .Paak perform with his band The Free Nationals, as well as taking Thundercat, Mac DeMarco, Earl Sweatshirt, Jessie Reyez, and Noname around the US as special guests.
