The producer behind the beat for Kendrick Lamar’s track “Momma” from the Grammy Award-winning To Pimp A Butterfly album and one half of NxWorries with Anderson .Paak is the producer based out of Los Angeles by way of New Jersey that goes by the name of Knxwledge. Today he released a brand new EP entitled Gladwemet that boasts 6 new songs. You may have already heard the lead single “Relapse” featuring Traffic as it was also used recently as part of the Adult Swim singles program.
Knxwledge’s style is the evolution of J Dilla and Madlib, with his jazzy lo-fi hip-hop grooves that seamlessly flow from one track to the next. And like the previously mentioned beatmakers, his musical style can be tailored to MC’s or be left as stand-alone instrumental hip-hop songs. While his resume of collaborations is quite extensive it certainly doesn’t lack quality, boasting credits for Ghostface Killah, Earl Sweatshirt, Roc Marciano, Action Bronson, Joey Bada$$, Westside Gunn, Homeboy Sandman.
