Anderson .Paak & Knxwledge Make Their Late Night TV Debut As Nxworries with Miguel Atwood-Ferguson-assisted "What More Can I Say?" Performance Video (The Tonight Show)

"Following the release of their debut album

YES LAWD!

in October,

Nxworries

makes their TV debut with a live performance on

The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon

last night. The duo [performed] their song,

"What More Can I Say?"

off of

YES LAWD!

backed by a string quartet arranged by

Miguel Atwood-Ferguson

. The performance can be viewed online on

NBC

's website now,"

reads a fragmented chuck of a Wednesday morning press release I received from

Duncan Will

at

Orienteer

(formerly

Liberal Arts

and

Life or Death PR

).

Anderson.Paak & Knxwledge

made their collective late night TV debut on a special

Valentine's Day

episode of

The Tonight Show

alongside

Ice Cube

's

Fist Fight

co-star

Charlie Day

and socialite

Kendall Jenner

. I have to admit,

"What More Can I Say?"

was entirely unlike anything I had ever previously seen on late night TV; playing out more like a live-shot music video than your run-of-the-mill pre-recorded late night performance.

Anderson.Paak

started out sprawled across a living room-esque couch in what very well could have been a pair of pajamas, while an unknown female stomped on stage and swiftly threw a pair of panties (seemingly not hers) onto his chest. She begrudgingly sits down alongside

.Paak

on the couch as

Knxwledge

begins to artfully build

"What More Can I Say?'"

s back-beat on an

MPC

anchored by

The Notations'

similarly-titled 1973

CRA Records

single,

"What More Can I Say?"

backed by a

Miguel Atwood-Ferguson

-helmed string section seated behind the elaborate scene.

Not even a mere minute into

Nxworries'

riveting performance, a second white-knuckled woman (maybe the owner of said panties) rapidly marches her way in and throws a drink right into

Anderson.Paak

's face. He adamantly attempts to sing his way back into their good graces for the remainder of

"What More Can I Say?"

to no avail—until

Knxwledge

rises from his chair, hands each woman a red long-stemmed rose, and saunters off into the distance with both of them!

Anderson.Paak

remains on the couch head in hands, seemingly befuddled, and doesn't even manage to break character, as

Jimmy Fallon

excitedly announces, "YOOOOOOOO,

Nxworries

!

YES LAWD!

is available now," amidst a ripping and roaring crowd.

Knxwledge

's latest

Hip-Hop

standard-remixing release,

WT​.​PRT10​.​8_

is currently available for streaming and downloading on his personal

Bandcamp

page, along with 78 additional like-minded releases;

Anderson.Paak

, fresh off a politically-charged 2017

GRAMMY's

performance with

A Tribe Called Quest, Busta Rhymes & Consequence

, recently announced a proper full-length with his trusty backing band,

The Free Nationals

"droppin'" at an unspecified date later this year.

Anderson.Paak & The Free Nationals

are currently preparing to head out

Bruno Mars'

gargantuan

24K Magic Tour

opening for 33 of a whopping 85 continent-spanning dates between 03.28-06.15.
