The homies Krispy and Al have been hinting about this little release for quite some time and they finally dropped it via Twitter the other day. As I was waiting for some artwork to show up, Shake @ 2DopeBoyz cooked up the cover above, so it’s time to rock. There are only 5 joints, but they’re all dope. The title track is probably the highlight, but don’t sleep on “Fruits” and “Floozy” either. More dope ish from the Knux!
ahahahahahaah aw man, look at the homies Krispy and Al! The Knux made one of the least diverse crowds I’ve ever seen go absolutely crazy at the Bonnaroo Festival in Tennessee this weekend. LOL @ the irony of ending with Dead Prez’ “Hip-Hop”…I love it.
Seattle people: Be sure to come check out the Knux at Bumbershoot this year, where they’ll be opening up for the Black Eyed Peas on the mainstage. Shout to Krispy, Al, Josh, and the whole crew. See y’all soon fellas.
As I mentioned in the post for the most recent Sound Session, Krispy and Al from the Knux came through the studio to kick it and co-host last night’s show. We talked about their next album, upcoming tour plans, an all-star remix to their “F!re” track that’s in the works, the Twitter phenomenon, and more. Plus, they even kicked a quick freestyle live over the air.
You can watch part of the interview above (including the freestyle) and/or download the audio below:
Generally speaking, projects with this level of corporate organization/sponsorship turn out extra corny, but thanks to the talent assembled for the latest Pepsi Mic Pass video, this one came out dope. All the live stuff was shot down in Austin at SXSW and you can see all sorts of folks in the background. Town homies will recognize Dow Jones and Jake One especially…
More dope ish that was released during the SXSW madness. I ran into Krispy and Al down in Texas and despite obviously doing a lot of partying, they remembered their appearance on Sound Session from a while back. Good times. This is the jam though.
Tunji and GregTheDude linked up with one of my favorite groups out right now, the Knux, down at USC for this OkayplayerTV piece. In case you’re sleeping, you need to peep the Knux’s Remind Me In 3 Days album…one of the illest projects of last year.
As I mentioned in my last post, brothers Krispy Kream and Rah Almillio, collectively known as The Knux, came through Sound Session a few days ago. Not only are these dudes cool as hell, but they’re dope lyricists and great musicians who play all the instruments in their songs. How many other groups are doing that?
We chopped it up about a variety of topics, including their upcoming Remind Me In 3 Days album (y’all aren’t ready), their transition from New Orleans to Los Angeles after Hurricane Katrina, the unique sound behind their “Bang! Bang!” single, and more. To grab just the audio (including the two songs we played, “Bang! Bang!” and “Cappuccino (Remix)”), hit either of the links below. Otherwise, watch the video above, but be sure to click here to watch it in glorious HD.
Special shout to my man Brian (and Greg The Dude visiting from L.A.), who handled all the filming and editing. Brian will be helping us out on a bunch of projects moving forward, so be on the lookout for more SNSS in HD. You know how we do.
Oh, and a special note that the new homey Krispy wanted me to pass along: those 3 Knux tracks that leaked recently (“Amazing,” “Hard Days Night,” and “Otherside”) are real old and not on the album. However, you can peep the official sampler right here. Cop Remind Me In 3 Days on October 28th!
This is my ish right now. Here’s the new video for The KnuX’s “Bang Bang” off their upcoming debut, Remind Me In 3 Days. In case you can’t tell, it’s inspired by The Outsiders and “Beat It.” Krispy and Al are scheduled to be in studio with us live on Sound Session this week. Anything y’all want me to ask ‘em?
