To celebrate Juneteenth, the anniversary of emancipation of slaves in US, Anderson .Paak has now delivered an incredibly timely new release.

The new single 'Lockdown' focuses around the recent Black Lives Matter protests and COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting those that have lost their lives as a result of police brutality, and comes accompanied by a star-studded video, which features cameos from the likes of Syd, Jay Rock, Andra Day, Dominic Fike, and many more.

All those involved in the video have donated their salaries to Dream Defenders, an organisation aimed at fighting for the future of young people against corporate greed, injustice and violence.
