Knxwledge

Grammy Award-winning producer Knxwledge first gained widespread recognition for his co-production on ‘Momma,’ a track from Kendrick Lamar’s seminal 2015 album ‘To Pimp a Butterfly,’ which earned a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album. Prior to this, Knxwledge had already established a reputation for prolific output, releasing over 200 projects on Bandcamp since 2009, showcasing a distinct and versatile production style blending jazz, soul, old-school hip hop, and modern rap. His debut official album, ‘Klouds,’ was released in 2010, followed by the extensive 53-track retrospective compilation ‘Anthology’ in 2013. In 2015, he also released his acclaimed debut album for Stones Throw Records, ‘Hud Dreems,’ further solidifying his presence in the hip-hop landscape.

The same pivotal year of 2015 saw the formation of NxWorries, his critically acclaimed funk-soul duo with singer-rapper Anderson .Paak. Their collaboration quickly yielded the debut EP, ‘Link Up & Suede,’ which garnered significant buzz, leading to the release of their highly praised full-length album ‘Yes Lawd!’ in 2016. The album solidified their partnership, earning widespread acclaim for its unique chemistry and innovative sound. Knxwledge continued his prolific solo output, releasing his second album for Stones Throw Records, ‘1988,’ in 2020, which further cemented his consistent contribution to the contemporary hip-hop scene.

This latest project underscores his enduring partnership with Anderson .Paak and his ongoing trajectory as a respected, innovative, and foundational artist in contemporary music, consistently pushing the boundaries of hip-hop and soul.
