ISSUE 001- Beyond Urban | The Instagram Magazine
Feat. Knucks has been making waves for a few years now and he’s featured on our first issue for good reason. The South Kilburn hailing rapper/producer captures attention with his charisma, nimble wordplay and ear for good samples. We hear this on his latest track “24” where the harmonies from a vocal sample are submerged in a knocking bassline that allows Knucks to dust his flows off as we approach his 24th birthday. He references a friend passing, reflects on doubting whether he could finish university and reminds us that he’s been doing shows before he signed his deal.
