    Knxwledge really knows how to bring the best out of Brandon. “HereIAm” swells with organs that make you feel like you’re at church for Sunday service. .... “Why Lawd?” proves it’s possible to remain true to your vision and bring the haters to you instead of the other way around.

    Despite the loss and longing that course through the 44-minute runtime, this is a feel-good affair with ridiculous replay value, thanks in large part to the sample-flipping prowess of Knxwledge. He moves seamlessly from Pharcyde-esque chillhop (“MoveOn”) to Paisley Park two-stepper (“Daydreaming”), with a proficiency that recalls fellow crate-digging senseis like J Dilla and Madlib.

    While Paak’s leathery, weathered vocal is soulful, he is an unlikable narrator. He is adept at charting heartache, moaning “I can’t do the same things I used to do” on MoveOn. But it’s harder to empathise with tracks whining about prenups, snarls of “Bitch, you supposed to be with me” (KeepHer), calling a girlfriend a “dumb bitch” and fuming over an ex’s social media activity.
