We had Bay Area native Azure make a pit stop at Knocksville to showcase one of his unreleased songs on his upcoming album before heading out to his show in San Diego.  Check out more of his music here.

Long time Knocksteady homey and Virginia native Lyricks was in town and decided to drop some impromptu raps over a Tripmastermonk loop– accompanied by Jose Rios on acoustic guitar.

The homie Wax never fails to deliver a flawless performance.  Since economy never seems to be getting better, Wax understands its hard when you’re living a Scrublife so he went ahead and made this track free.  Download it here.

If you dig the shirt he’s wearing you can purchase the Music Co Tee here.

Taurus Scott is not your average producer.  He’s produced and engineered for heavy hitters like G-Unit, Mike Jones, Mase, and Mobb Deep.  9th Wonder describes Scott’s style as a man who makes “grown music”.  That’s why we had to hit our homie up when he was back in town to drop a dope beat performance for Knocksville.

We had EvitaN step thru Knocksville to drop a hot live performance.  O.G. legends in the hip-hop game, Dres of Black Sheep and Jarobi from A Tribe Called Quest tag team into EvitaN. For those who don’t know, EvitaN is Native spelled backwards and is rooted in the traditional spirit of Native Tongues; the movement, message, and music.

Native Instruments recently reached out to me and asked me to do a feature on their channel.  Immediately I hit my boy EOM to do a collab between my Traktor Kontrol S4 and his Maschine.  We put together an impromptu routine on the spot and shot it right after on a rooftop in downtown.  Big ups to my boy Karsten over at NI for making this happen.

In case you guys missed it…Our homie Breezy Lovejoy released a new music video for ‘Sadie‘ off his latest EP O.B.E yesterday.  If you haven’t had a chance to peep Breezy Lovejoy’s EP, stop snoozing and click here to download.  Also make sure you catch Breezy Lovejoy out on tour with Dumb this summer.  Dates provided here.

Dumb called out The Palmer Squares in Duke Westlake’s cypher about half a year ago. Since then Knocksville kept in close contact with our buddies from Chicago. When they told us they were coming into town for a couple shows we had to link with them for own exclusive live performance. Shouts to Heisenberg for letting us borrow his lab.

We linked up with the Uglies to perform their single “Morning After.” Their catchy hooks and addictive rhythms take their reggae-rock style to the next level.
