knxwledge (pronounced “knowledge”) is a 26 year old, los angeles based beat maker making his debut on stones throw, may 5, 2015, with the album hud dreems – 26 tracks of instrumental hip-hop.
standing out in a sea of producers rising from the l.a. beat scene, the prolific artist and record collector produces his sound by creating a pastiche of soul, jazz and hip-hop that melts together in a style uniquely his own. he has produced for hip-hop powerhouse kendrick lamar on to pimp a butterfly, for joey badass on 1999, and has released dozens of remix and beat tape collections on his bandcamp. he calls these his “light work.”
knx has found a home on stones throw’s roster, working closely with mndsgn and with anderson paak in an r&b/hip-hop collaboration as nxworries, whose debut album will be released later this year.
the vinyl release: double lp in gatefold day-glow cover and a full side of exclusive bonus material called side d plus download code.
