Ten years ago, Anderson .Paak didn't just release an album; he staged a full-scale takeover of the soul and hip-hop landscape.

Released on January 15, 2016, "Malibu" served as the definitive arrival of an artist who had spent years grinding in the underground before a star-making turn on Dr. Dre's "Compton". While his previous work hinted at his potential, "Malibu" was the moment the world met the "Cheeky Andy" persona in full - a virtuosic drummer, a raspy-voiced crooner, and a sharp-witted rapper all rolled into one.

The album is a sprawling, sun-drenched journey through the Southern California coast, blending 1970s funk, church-reared gospel, and gritty boom-bap into something that feels both nostalgic and entirely futuristic. With a California heavyweight production lineup including 9th Wonder, Madlib, Kaytranada, and Hi-Tek, the record maintains a warm, analog texture that was a breath of fresh air in an increasingly digital era. It's an album that breathes, full of intentional imperfections and the kind of "in-the-pocket" groove that can only come from a seasoned live performer.

A decade later, "Malibu" stands as a modern classic and the blueprint for the soulful revivalism that would eventually lead.Paak to global superstardom and Grammy-winning heights. 2LP coloured vinyl edition.
