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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
