53. Anderson .Paak - Ventura

Easily one of the most versatile and collaborative performers in music these days, Anderson .Paak's 2019 album "Ventura" is perhaps the one that feels the most true to who he is. "Ventura" includes all the elements that the artist himself  embraces: old-school soul, hip-hop, R&B and even rap from some of the world's greatest. Paak's gravitas as a drummer, producer and collaborator shines through with contributions from the likes of Andre 3000 ("Come Home"), Smokey Robinson ("Make It Better"), Lalah Hathaway ("Reachin' 2 Much"), Brandy ("Jet Black") and the late Nate Dogg ("What Can We Do?"). In every case, the collaborations work ... and in every case, .Paak is the star.
