A Brief Introduction to Knxwledge

Posted: 14 Mar 2018 07:58 AM PDT

A guide to knowledge knxwledge.

Who is knxwledge? Knxwledge is a producer from California that has become quite prolific through his various collaborations and big name rappers using his beats. He also has the spelling ability of dyslexic third grader. I would compare him to a hybrid between J Dilla and Madlib as a majority of his work focuses on flipping and remixing various samples. The issue with Knxwledge is that he has so much music, and most of it is high quality music. A bunch of high quality music! You might be asking yourself: how the fuck that is an issue, I love music! But, Knxwledge has eighty-eight projects on his bandcamp, and it took me about a year and a half to go listen to them all. And that is just his bandcamp!

There is too much music to work through for most fans, so I have done the work for you. Warning: this is an introductory post--I am not going to give you a super detailed description of his life, or each one of his albums. I don't have the time, reddit doesn't have the space, and you don't have the attention span. Even if all of those things were not issues, it still wouldn't help as my tastes are going to be different than yours. So, to avoid these common issue found in other "guides", I have decided to give you the reader the tools to explore Knxwledge on your own. Also I know that I "missed" X album or Y song.

At the bottom I have a link to the google doc in which I have a list of every single Knxwledge album on bandcamp, if you want to look at it you can do that. I have a rating system in place, and copy-pasted songs from the album which I liked (bolded ones are better, sometimes there is commentary). I do not recommend using this, it is eleven or so pages, my tastes have changed as I have gone through it, and it is far too much music. Instead I have created several categories from which you should start.

Essentials

These are five projects that you should listen to. I have picked them for specific reasons (noted in their descriptions), and if you like a given project you can go to the separate subcategory noted to listen to more of the same stuff.

Hud Dreems

One of the few Knxwledge albums that got an actual release via Stones Throw, and the amount of polish on this album is incredible. Coming in at twenty-six tracks, the album is full of diverse and layered songs that keeps you interested throughout. Knxwledge brings his all here. The samples are diverse, and consistently left me in awe. On tkekareofit Knx samples Chief Keef's Love Sosa in the background, using it as a hidden sample adding depth to the track. It is phenomenal, and if you are going to listen to a Knxwledge album it better be this one. If you like this album, you should look into his beat tapes.

Spin these: kometostai.aintreallynootherwaytoputitro, flyinglizrds, jstowee

Nxworries- Yes Lawd!

I love this album. Possibly not quite as much as some individuals on this sub who have referred to it as the "rnb Madvillany," and if anything I would compare it to Piñata (another album I love). Regardless, this album is essential to listen to. Paak and Knxwledge go together so well, and the shorter track lengths keep anything from going stale, and give you different tastes of styles from the two. One of the best albums in recent years--listen to it. If you like this album, you should listen to other essential albums and go from there because this album is a bit different than the others.

Spin these: Best One, Link Up, Khadija

Knxwledge - WrapTaypes

This release of WarpTaypes serves as a culminating project of previous iterations and mixes and matches them for an All City release. I have included it on the list not because it is the best Warp Taype, but rather because it has many hits from previous Wrap Taypes. Thus, it is a good place to start, and see if you are interested in the Wrap Taype style. I am in no way saying that this album is bad--quite the opposite actually as 21kwestions, for example, is probably my favorite remix that Knx has ever done. The annoying ass "ALL CITY" adlib thing is quite annoying though. If you like this album, you should listen to the WrapTaype series.

Spin these: 21kwestions, Strtdfrmthebttm, Mygrl

Hexual​.​Sealings​.​Vol​.​3_​[​bootleg]

Vol 3 is without a doubt the best iteration of the Hexual Sealings series by Knxwledge, as he flawlessly remixes and mashes up rnb tracks. The leading track Unfoolish represents all that I love about Knxwledge as Ashanti sings for the first half as Biggie slowly increases his presence in the background till he takes center stage in the last half. This series of album is quite different than his others, as Knx takes a step back and lets the sample do most of the talking, yet still gives it his own unique spin. If you like this album look into the other Hexual Sealings tapes

Spin these: unfoolish., LikeTheWai_, kiss[kallbak]

SKR∆WBERRiES​.​FUNR∆iSRS VOL​.​3

One of Knxwledge earlist tapes on his bandcamp, this tape is packed with tight loops over smooth ass beats. It reminds me a lot of Dooms Special Herbs. It packs tracks such as WhºK∆res (better known as the beat for Killuminati off of Joey Bada$$'s 1999). I picked this album because it is a laid back introduction to his work, and highlights his ear for loops which only becomes more refined. If you like this album look into Knx's beat tapes

Spin these: ∆roundOurDoor, WhºK∆res, Jive

Everything Else

I have divided the rest of Knx's bandcamp albums up into several categories: Beat tapes, Hexual Sealings series, WrapTaype series, Rapper remixes, and random stuff. Based off what you like in the essential albums you should explore these more. I have my favorite three from each category which should be a good start. The albums in the essential list are not included.

Beat Tapes: These albums are, as their name suggests, beat tapes.

Hexual Sealings: RnB focused remixes

Wrap Taypes: Hip hop focused remixes

Rapper remixes: These are remixes of specific artists

Link to google doc

It has all the individual ratings and shit on it (its a mess), rating system is kinda wonky.

This is just an introduction, I know i missed a whole lot, but give knx a shot.
