\"Tiny<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s been a scant two weeks since we had the good fortune to witness<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals<\/strong><\/a> take Ventura<\/strong> by storm. Since then .Paak<\/strong> has been percolating round the country in support of his phenomenal Malibu<\/strong><\/em> album. Yesterday .Paak & The Free Nationals<\/strong> made their way to NPR’s Tiny Desk<\/strong> and killed softly. In contrast to the high-decibel and manic energy levels at the Ventura Theater, .Paak<\/strong> and band sat in at the Tiny Desk<\/strong> and gave a tour de force of jazzed up R&B\/hip-hop. Watch below as .Paak<\/strong> subtly slays on drums, while guitarist Jose Rios<\/strong> and bassist Kelsey Gonzalez<\/strong> layer on perfectly as they open with lifting single Come Down\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>and then segue into shimmering\u00a0Curtis Mayfield\/K-Dot<\/strong> sounds before closing with (the interestingly-requested) brash older-track Suede<\/strong><\/em>. Watch below to get a feel for .Paak’s<\/strong> proficiency and power. \u00a0Don’t you miss him next time he comes to town. He’s out to take your ears prisoner.<\/p>\n
