2016 has been a breakout year for Anderson .Paak.

As the 30-year-old is well on his way to earning the title of one of the music industry's hardest working musicians, he is finally starting to get the recognition he deserves, taking home the Centric Certified Award at the 2016 Soul Train Awards. 

.Paak, known for his eccentric genre-bending style, surprised everyone by bringing out BJ The Chicago Kid during his debut Soul Train Awards performance and the two absolutely had the whole room rocking.
