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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
