I came up in 1980s Brooklyn and still live here. I’m a hip hop head to the core. NYC invented this artform. Biggie, Jay, Nas, Pun, Jeru, LL, KRS, Eric B-all of em. But imo the UK over the last decade has been absolutely murdering hip hop. Knucks to me is one of best lyricists and rappers of all time anywhere. Everything about him and his work resonates with me. His beat selection (and beatmaking), rhyme schemes, voice, storytelling ability, video direction. Everything. The man is a wrecking ball. I get the chills off his sh1t. Much love to the UK from the US for work like this.
I cringe at people hyping K dot or Drake like they are geniuses. So lucky US is in love with complacent trap rap. K dot might have good meaning but doesn’t mean the guys lyricism or flow is top notch. Knucks and sainte blow Kendrick and Drake out the park with real rap with lyrics and flow.
Not underrated cmon. You obviously havnt followed his blow up. He will be headlining main stages soon, its just that drill pop is too popular so central cee obv got the spot light atm
The reason why knucks is going to be at the top is because of the Fan base hes building rather than just blow up, hes someone you can take a ton of inspiration from, you dont get that from many rappers in the Uk
Glad someone said it. Artists like Knucks will always have a solid core fanbase. Most times that brings more longevity to his career. These rappers that blow up just have bunch of youts jumping on the bandwagon.
@@ebsoul4579 yeah I’m telling everyone in Japan about him, we are building a fan base here 😂 hopefully he can come here to see how much we appreciate him
This beat is so so so so good, love this new wave in UK rap, so refreshing that its not a copy paste drill beat. Unique voice, perspective and the production all creme de la creme
Think it's the intersection of this drill ting and the huge Jazz scene in London, it's just coming together into this mad like deep bass, jazz sound (like Moses Boyd) and I love it!
Knucks created jazz drill. Only one ive heard this consistently bkending the two genres into an absolute masterpiece of an art form. Flowers for you now knucks 🌹
As a black artist in america its dope getting to see black youth life and culture in another country. We go through a lot of the same shit. We fuck wit knucks heavy here in texas mane
Real shit bruh, but we all struggling no matter what color. Nobody gets an advantage because of skin color, it's all about if you are born into a wealthy and rich family. We all trying to make it to the top and we started with nothing bro! No matter what color!👌✌💖🙏♾
Word up. We really do go thru a lot of similar stuff. The black experience is unique on a global aspect. 💯 Edit: I dislike when non blacks come into a conversation we're having amongst ourselves and say our color doesn't matter. Can we just have our own conversations just about us sometimes?
@@getlostvlogs4953 I mean the struggles everyone might go through aint just a black thing, other people may go through similar things too regardless of color or where you from.Just cus one community is hit harder than others dont mean everyone else doing fine either mate, everybody goes through some bullshit just a matter of severity and circumstance that differentiates it from other peoples struggles
Surprisingly only Found out about Knucks after he sung this song on COLORS. I’m so glad I did because I’ve since listened to more of his stuff and this guy is just a great artist👏
His greatest gift and at the same time the thing that bugs me most is that he is a perfectionist with his songs. So we get the TOP quality lyrics,production,flow,videos; but we get it so few times a year. End of the day, I love his art and would rather wait and get these masterpieces than some half-assed art.
another certified banger. this man's work rate and quality is inspirational. lov his ability to capture and paint experiences on those laid back instrumentals. perfect late night evening vibe music. when you drown the world and just have your thoughts
@@dominospizza4386 choppy hi-hats check 808s check staggered layers of instruments check sounds like drill to me. the only difference is that it the jazz vibe/influence and the lyrics aren't as violent or extreme as other UK drill songs. it's more lyrical clearly. that's what I mean by "new form of drill"
“Mommzy praying for me but there ain’t enough beads on a rosary” I don’t know much about UK rap but this guys one of the best storytellers I’ve ever heard. Love from California
This is unbelievable man. Where this guy came from... turned into such a dedicated and fully developped artist in such a short period. This guy has talent and the world needs to take note.
Everything is good the music video the lyrics the choice of people the story there is so much behind this song . Been listening to it for a year or so and everytime it feels like I'm listening to it for the first time .
Best storyteller/writer in the game. It's deeper than bars. Lyrics teleport you into a new world, a song by Knucks is always avery immersive experience. All hail!
Ong Knucks I found you 1.5 years ago since then I've only seen you drop the most beautiful bangers your rap, voice and music is a bless for my ears ly❤❤
I was trapped in london for 6 months when covid first came. needless to say i found great artists like knucks and dave, music like this is global still listening in the states
A two in one, we are blessed, respect bro. Loved the contrast and the overall story. Banger, as usual. It's mad, but I think you've created your own sound as a whole. You konw when it's a Kuncks tune, just by the vibe in the first five seconds.
Been listening to knucks since home, went back and listened to his other catalogs and I won’t lie this guy is one the best I’ve seen, from his way around words to his music videos to his beat selection, he’s on his own lane and he’s the king of it👑
seeing the growth from the home music video to this, and just better refining the style and direction of his music is so fucking awesome. i feel like i aint seen many people like knuck's nowadays in terms of his specialty and his focus on it. shits special man
Every time I hear Knucks, I remember a great friend of mine. I was a fan like no one else. He did one of the best reinterpretations of one of his songs, and that immortalizes him. art eternalizes man. man eternalizes art. we are eternally grateful and imprisoned by it. make art. Even after death, our names echo throughout the world like the cries of a lost soul. like someone looking for meaning in life. art gave us meaning in life. Thank you Foster, for teaching me that art could take me out of crime and give me meaning in life. I will love you eternally, Matheus Azevedo. You gave voice to putochic. and Gabriel is eternally grateful for that.
@@mizzoscreedbymichaelngwana I love drill music but this just isnt drill. It's drill inspired but that's like saying Digga D makes grime since drill is grime inspired
Brother continues to impress with each new track he does, I know everyone loves his rapping but the production is seriously underrated too. Hope he blows!
Only just started listening to this guy, the rap scene been dead for me in the UK since everyone came on drill, knucks a true legend, thanks for bringing that inspiration back

@@ryanbeltran9413 putting kendrick and drake on the same level for that comparison is a joke 🤣🤣
Most underrated artist in the UK. Knucks is truly in his own lane
Feel the same way about DC too but can’t lie Knucks has a different work rate
Sainté too, but knucks is the best
he's rated highly, by you, me and the hundreds of thousands of people who are gonna watch this video.
Not underrated cmon. You obviously havnt followed his blow up. He will be headlining main stages soon, its just that drill pop is too popular so central cee obv got the spot light atm
Not just in UK 🔥
He’s stepping up his game so much. The beat selection is insane. What a legend
He produced it?

When you find someone that also listens to Knucks, it’s the best feeling fr fr

Think it's the intersection of this drill ting and the huge Jazz scene in London, it's just coming together into this mad like deep bass, jazz sound (like Moses Boyd) and I love it!
This beat sounds so familiar
It sound's like a mix of modern UK rap with 1995 East Coast Brooklyn Hip Hop.
@@yasha211 It’s a green eyes sample by Erykah Badu
The beats, The visuals, the flows, the storytelling, everythings perfect
0:20 😊😅😊i 0:22 😊😊😅😅8
Knuckes rhyming on the First beat is fr one of the cleanest shit i've ever heard.
Wish it was longer
Knucks the storyteller doesn't miss 🔥
I could honestly listen to this guy for hours straight and not wanna change the music. Truly beautiful.
Been listening to Knucks since He made Breakfast At Tiffany’s. This guys only getting better 🔥

they don't want him to win! he doesn't promote violence drugs or women
@@Zer-ot9wc he does still have some songs with some lyrics about women
Knucks the definition of an artist. I’m glad he’s finally getting his time to shine
“The pain don’t kill we just get more fiends”.. word play at its finest
This better get over 1 mil views because knucks truly deserves it
Trust mans getting there, the sooner the better
I kinda hope it doesn't cuz I enjoy gatekeeping him from my friends
it’s gonna get over 1 mil for sure
One of UK’s finest, talent is insane!

Knucks, this video is amazing! Honestly it’s only right you go to the top, wow
Knucks and the Saxophone....feels like a beautiful lighty caressing my ear lobes

I like how Knucks incorporates Jazz and Drill.

This is literally food for the soul… take it in!
He literally created a new form of drill and mastered it.
Just because it has a fucking British accent doesn’t mean it’s a form of ukdrill 😂

sounds like drill to me.
the only difference is that it the jazz vibe/influence and the lyrics aren't as violent or extreme as other UK drill songs. it's more lyrical clearly.

@@Bobby_Duncanhcrr sounds bueno ill give him a listen
His music feels like London. Sick artist
Knucks is one of a kind, runs his own genre, the stuff he always cooks comes out delicious ❤️kind of rapper who doesn't lie, but instead tells a story
knucks truly in his own lane, Hide & Seek is a legendary track in the UK, im calling it now, going to age like fine wine.
This is unbelievable man. Where this guy came from... turned into such a dedicated and fully developped artist in such a short period. This guy has talent and the world needs to take note.

wow everything about this is so clean and powerful- the production has leveled up man - i can't wait to see knucks really grow this year
