Every once in a while the term opposites attract create duos that transcend their own individual talent. Batman and Superman, Tom and Jerry, Anderson Paak and Knxwledge; yes those guys too. California singer/rapper/drummer Anderson Paak has been having himself quite a successful year with the release of his sophomore album Malibu in early 2016 and contributing to artist's albums like Dr. Dre, Chance The Rapper, Schoolboy Q, and Mac Miller. Now, with the release of Yes Lawd!, his collaborative album with New Jersey producer Knxwledge, the momentum of Anderson Paak will continue roll for a long time.

Knxlwedge has been one of the most consistently impressive producers for a few years now. His soulful production is remiscient of legendary artists like J Dilla and Madlib, while also adding his own personal style to every beat. Knxwledge is known for being on the quieter side and more comfortable being behind the scenes; while his high-note hitting counterpart, Anderson Paak, seems to thrive in the spotlight. This combination of styles has created some of the most truly impressive R&B that has come out this year. Songs like "Khadijah" and "Starlite" are perfect examples of Knxwledge's mellow production being complemented perfectly by Paak's raspy, energetic delivery.

Yes Lawd! is an album that takes the best aspects of two great artists, Knxlwedge and Anderson Paak, and puts them together to create a wonderful product. The way that their personalities are you would never believe that these guys could make a great album. But, sometimes life has a funny way of throwing the right people together and Yes Lawd! is a perfect example of that.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
