Produced by Live Nation, the “Best Teef In The Game Tour” with special guests Jessie Reyez and Thundercat visits Meadow Brook Amphitheatre on the campus of Oakland University on Sunday, June 2 at 7:30 p.m. 

“Growing up in Oxnard gave me the grit and the church to find this voice of mine. One town over I went further and found my depth. The duality of each place inspired me greatly and from that I made two albums at the exact same time but held one back because that would have been too many songs to perform live for you all! I like ending things on an even number so welcome to ‘Ventura’”  –Anderson .Paak

 With 2018 came the start of these next chapters in Anderson’s much-celebrated career as we saw the release of his critically acclaimed album Oxnard with it’s single “Bubblin” that went on to win him a Grammy® for Best Rap Performance, a coveted debut slot on Saturday Night Live performing “Tints” with special guest Kendrick Lamar as well as “Who R U?” and a flurry of press accolades and opportunities showcasing Anderson’s talent and personality (a rare couch spot on Fallon starting off 2019 for example).

The Oxnard album marked a career high for him debuting as the #1 Independent album in the country according to Billboard as well as debuting at #5 on the Rap chart, #6 on the Hip Hop/R&B chart and #11 on the Top 200. The phenomenal album was executive produced by Dr. Dre and features the likes of hip-hop legends Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg, J. Cole, Q-Tip, and Pusha T. Following the album’s release, .Paak has been on a sold-out tour in both the US and Europe, with fans anxious to see his energetic and captivating live performances.
