Link Up & Suede is the debut EP by NxWorries, the Los Angeles–based duo of hip hop producer Knxwledge and R&B vocalist Anderson .Paak. The EP was released on December 4, 2015, under Stones Throw Records, and was supported by two singles: "Suede", the breakthrough song which earned .Paak an invitation to Dr. Dre’s Compton sessions, and "Link Up", which premiered on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 radio show on December 1, 2015.[1][2][3]
"Suede" was selected as one of NPR Music's "Favorite Songs of 2015".[4] The EP also includes "Droogs", a Knxwledge remake of Anderson .Paak's "Drugs" taken from his Venice album, along with two instrumental bonus beats.[5] Link Up & Suede serves as a precursor to the duo's full-length debut album, Yes Lawd!.[1][6]
