Meeting Dr. Dre is a rarity theses days, especially for aspiring artists. Before Anderson .Paak landed on the cover of 2016’s XXL Freshman issue, he says he received a call from DJ Dahi to work on some music for Dr. Dre’s project. .Paak says he thought meeting the famed producer seemed so far fetched that he buried the idea in the back of his mind. However, once in the studio, people started buzzing about his song “Suede” and suggested that they let Dr. Dre listen to it. Once Dre heard it—after several replays—he began working with .Paak, which ultimately landed him on six songs on the Compton album alongside, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, and Ice Cube to name a few.

In this interview with DJ Vlad, .Paak admits that he didn’t know what project he was initially working for, but later discovered that Dre wanted to step away from Detox because he wasn’t happy with the finished product and wanted something fresh. The recording artist said with the Compton album, “he was pushing to do something he’d never done before, and he was taking risks and chances.”
