Knxwledge is L.A's influential hip-hop producer who cultivates flawless hip hop beats. His new track 'Itckanbe[sonice]' is from a frequent collaboration with Anderson .Paak (known as NxWorries) lifted from his recent album 1988 which is the follow up to Knxwledge’s official debut album Hud Dreems (Stones Throw, 2015). The same year Hud Dreems was released, Knx worked with Kendrick Lamar on To Pimp a Butterfly, earning the producer his first Grammy. NxWorriess was formed around the same time. The production on 'Itckanbe[sonice]' resembles the lo-fi quality of an old soul song booming from small taxi speakers, it would suit soundtracking a movie scene where someone is crossing a bridge to New York for the first time, encapsulating the awe and wonder of what's to come. Anderson Paak sings passionately the words "I don't even know how it feels anymore, I don't even look at the bill anymore". The backing vocals feel like they could have been lifted straight from an Al Green song, enriching the musical landscape. Check out this new collaboration that revives the sound of 70's soul with a modern twist. -Ellie Rose-Davies
