In hip-hop, there's no holier union than the one between a rapper and their favorite producer. The bond between Anderson.Paak and Knxwledge continues to reap rewards with “Get Bigger/ Do U Luv,” their new track as NxWorries and the latest teaser from their forthcoming Yes Lawd!.

As the cut reminds us, Knxwledge and .Paak excel at highlighting each other's strengths while maintaining their individual flair. Here, Knxwledge's drums swing with J Dilla-esque abandon over a sample that Madlib might pick (but would never chop the same way). Meanwhile, .Paak looks back on his hip-hop ascent ("Closing my eyes/'Visioning Monte Carlos with tinted windows and balling legitimate") and, simultaneously, his relationship's literal descent ("Open my eyes, she was kissing my constituent/I pushed that bitch off the cliff"). He pivots not only between those emotional extremes but also James Brown-worthy yelps and Andre 3000-style drawls.

By now, both artists are enjoying the fruits of their labor; Anderson's become a globe-trotting, Dr.Dre-cosigned MVP, and Knxwledge is enjoying the world's easiest television career. However, “Get Bigger/ Do U Luv” is a reminder that it hasn't always been smooth sailing for the pair—but even under pressure, they never lose their cool.
