The journey leading up to "Why Lawd?" has been marked by notable milestones, including the debut of the track "Where I Go" during a live-streamed show in 2020 and an official feature from Grammy-award-winning artist H.E.R. in 2022.

With their latest single, "86Sentra," serving as an exciting preview, NxWorries promises an electrifying listening experience with "Why Lawd?". The album features collaborations with a star-studded lineup of artists, including Thundercat, Snoop Dogg & October London, Earl Sweatshirt, Rae Khalil, and more. .Paak's bold declaration on "86Sentra" hints at the explosive impact of the album's tracklist, setting high expectations for listeners.
