Interestingly enough, the album was recorded around the same time as Oxnard. In a press release, .Paak said:
Growing up in Oxnard gave me the grit and the church to find this voice of mine. One town over I went further and found my depth. The duality of each place inspired me greatly and from that I made two albums at the exact same time but held one back because that would have been too many songs to perform live for you all! I like ending things on an even number so welcome to "Ventura"

He will be joined by Thundercat, who just finished a residency at Blue Note, Earl Sweatshirt, Noname, Mac DeMarco, and Jessie Reyez. (Thundercat will be involved with the whole tour, the others will be doing scattered dates.)
