KNOXX
KNOXX – These letters describe a man with a true passion for his music. Born in Baltimore, MD, this MC’s star is definitely shining bright. At a young age, Knoxx began his quest for success with his first recording entitled “The Shop” which gained him underground acclaim, and recognition overseas as well. This ode to the ‘hood barbershop bells and kicked off a musical journey which would eventually lead Knoxx across the nation… “The Shop” allowed Knoxx to perform with the likes of LL Cool J, Ice Cube, Common and Mobb Deep and went on to sell 30,000 units independently by the time all was said and done.
Knoxx then moved on to Atlanta where he released an EP entitled “Carpe Diem” which was hailed by the local press as “…A Solid Hip Hop Album.” For a newcomer to the city, those words are high praise from a local press that coveted their own artists as much as Atlanta did at that time. Knoxx also formed a crew called The Ark which also gained notoriety not only in Atlanta, but from major publications outside of the ATL as well. Knoxx then entered the Blaze Magazine Freestyle Battle, and proceeded to receive the loudest crown response in the event, allowing the streets to let it be known he was the winner, hands down. Subsequently, he graced the cover of Elemental Magazine, which praised him for the energy and intensity of his live performances.
While Atlanta was still recovering from his impact, Knoxx then moved his career to Los Angeles. “I knew success was out there for me” he said. He hit the ground running, moving freestyle mixtapes throughout the city to make the name Knoxx known in the West. One of these mixtapes came across the desk of Grammy winning rapper, Young MC, who promptly took Knoxx into the studio to record cutting edge tracks with the goal of creating classic hip hop. The collaboration proved to be an education for both men to say the least.
Knoxx’s newest release combines street stories, heartfelt testimonials, and infectious hooks with a lyricism that will take classic hip hop fans back while propelling current hip hop fans forward. Give him 16 bars, he’ll give you the world. Buckle ya seat, put the kids to sleep, ‘cause Knoxx is on your box…TURN IT UP!
