Rapper Anderson .Paak & Cordae Reunite For Feel-Good New Single "A Good Day"

GRAMMY-Award winning artist Anderson .Paak and GRAMMY-nominated, multi-platinum rapper Cordae today share "A Good Day", the first single off their recently announced forthcoming collaborative album, 'Heavy Is the Crown', arriving October 23rd via APESHIT + EMPIRE / Hi Level + Mass Appeal. An uplifting, soul-drenched anthem, "A Good Day" finds .Paak tapping back into his charismatic rap roots alongside Cordae's effortless flow, as the two trade witty bars over live drum grooves and infectious production. Fans can stream the new album HERE and watch the video HERE.

Built around a healthy dose of humour and effortless lyrical interplay, A Good Day" tips its hat to timeless musical touchstones, weaving echoes of Bill Withers' beloved classic, "Lovely Day", with the unmistakable energy of Fatman Scoop's legendary ad-libs. The result is a nostalgic yet fresh anthem driven by infectious optimism and a smooth summer-to-fall vibe. Equal parts playful and feel-good, the track captures the natural chemistry that has made the pair's collaborations so memorable.

The accompanying music video, starring Jennifer Freeman, brings that same nostalgia, humour and charisma to the screen with a playful homage to the cult classic film, 'Friday'. .Paak and Cordae channel the competitive dynamic of brothers going head-to-head over a love interest, all while maintaining the camaraderie at the heart of their partnership.

The release kicks off a new full-length collaborative era for the dynamic hip-hop duo. Known for seamlessly blending classic West Coast funk, neo-soul, live instrumentation, and top-tier lyrical hip-hop, the duo build on the critical and commercial success of their previous collaborations, including 2019's "RNP" (260M+ Spotify streams) and "Two Tens" (75M+ Spotify streams). Across their work together, .Paak's signature live musicianship, raspy vocals, and infectious hooks meet Cordae's thoughtful lyricism and sharp storytelling, creating a distinct chemistry that has established them as one of modern hip-hop's most compelling dynamic pairs.

To coincide with the release of 'Heavy Is the Crown', the duo has also announced a robust physical offering featuring six retailer-exclusive vinyl variants spanning Amazon through independent retail, alongside an animated zoetrope edition available direct-to-consumer. The collection is rounded out by cassette and CD editions, with the latter featuring a lenticular cover that transforms the album artwork into an image of .Paak and Cordae in the middle of a playful fight.
