If you needed any more reason to go to the Anderson .Paak show (you don’t), opener DUCKWRTH is a compelling draw. The singer/rapper/graphic designer reps and credits the Bay Area for his artistic influences, and is regarded as a creative visionary for his progressive hip-hop and vibrant, expressive style—just watch his recently released visual for “Get Uugly” and you’ll see why. Last summer he collaborated with the Kickdrums to put out the super dope EP Nowhere, which features experimental R&B and rock-infused tracks like “Naruto,” “Unagi,” “Lambo,” and “Skank.” He recently dropped “Rare Panther+Beach House,” a leading track off his upcoming EP I’m Uugly, which is set to release next month.
