Anderson .Paak can do no wrong and he proved that fact true when he stopped by DJ Tony Touch's Toca Tuesdays show for Shade 45 to deliver a quick freestyle.

Spitting over a J Dilla beat from Slum Village's "Players," .Paak immediately leans into it as he drops bars about making money and his very tight-knit circle of friends. Our only wish is that the whole thing went a little longer.

Fortunately, today brings a double dose of .Paak who jumped on Mac Miller's brand new single, "Dang!" which just premiered on Zane Lowe's Beats1 show. The summer banger incorporates bouncy instrumental and glitzy horns courtesy of some Juilliard students, radiating some endless summer vibes that will definitely serve us well even when the temperature starts to drop when Miller drops the entire album in September.

Recently, .Paak also debuted a brand new song for fans, which some are reportedly referring to as "Bubblin'." Thankfully, the track has now popped up on YouTube, which means the rest of us can now enjoy some new .Paak at the comfort of our computers . As of now, it's unknown exactly what this track could be meant for down the line, but we do know that the rapper's collaboration album, NxWorries, with Knxwledge is finished as of June. "It's my best work, yall not ready! It's a masterpiece!!!!!" he tweeted upon its completion. As we wait for that, you can watch .Paak's freestyle above and check out the new song below.
