Ahead of his debut Hollywood Bowl performance, rapper, singer-songwriter, drummer (and lowkey aspiring multi-hyphenate business mogul) Anderson .Paak shares some favorite tunes: from the “Family Matters” theme song, to his musical peer Thundercat’s “Is It Love,” to Madonna’s “La Isla Bonita.” Plus, Adrian Quesada’s gorgeous collab with Abraham Alexander for the Sing Sing OST, “Like a Bird,” the latest from LA’s Pearl & The Oysters, and a classic from Earth, Wind & Fire.
