Los Angeles, GRAMMY-winning artist Anderson .Paak has released his new LP Ventura via Aftermath Entertainment, exclusively distributed by 12 Tone Music, LLC. Executive produced by Dr. Dre the album features 

Smokey Robinson, André 3000, Jazmine Sullivan, Brandy, Nate Dogg and Lalah Hathaway (see full tracklisting below). Ventura switches gears to soul from the grit and urgency that Oxnard brought acting as a juxtaposition to the two towns where .Paak grew up. Anderson explains: "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'".

Coachella attendees can see .Paak celebrate the release of Ventura with a performance this evening at 7:00pmPST on the Empire Polo Club stage. Everyone else can see him live this spring/summer on a nationwide tour making stops at New York City's Madison Square Garden, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago and much more. 'Best Teef In The Game' tour will include support from Thundercat on all dates and Earl Sweatshirt, Noname, Mac DeMarco and Jessie Reyez on select dates (full dates and support below). Tickets to the tour can be purchased here.
