“I'm finishing up the NxWorries album with Knxwledge and we just dropped a single with H.E.R. called ‘Where I Go,’” he said at the time. “We got a really awesome album that we've been working on and that's pretty much my main focus. Just taking more walks and hanging out with my kids more.”
The new LP was initially announced in 2020 when Anderson revealed that he and Knxwledge were working on a new album during an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe.
“We’re working on a new one,” he said. “I was just over there the other day. You know what I’m saying? We’ve been getting it in. We’ve got a bunch of stuff that we’re really happy about.”
KxWorries, the name of the duo, dropped their initial album Yes Lawd! in 2016. The project was heavily influential in promoting .Paak’s rise and is considered a cult classic among hip-hop fans.
