Knxwledge

Sobre

New Jersey-bred experimental hip-hop producer Glen Boothe began producing tracks under the pseudonym Knxwledge in 2009, releasing music via MySpace and Bandcamp. His glitchy, abstract tracks quickly caught the attention of the international beatmaking scene, and debut LP Klouds was released by Dublin-based All City Records in 2010. A relentless stream of Bandcamp releases continued, and Knxwledge produced tracks for Blu, Joey Bada$$, Suzi Analogue, and other underground hip-hop MCs. Boothe relocated to Los Angeles and became associated with Matthewdavid's Leaving Records, which released the Buttrskotch cassette in 2012, as well as a double-cassette anthology compiled from Knxwledge's numerous online releases. Second LP Kauliflowr arrived on All City Records in 2013. The year 2014 saw Knxwledge producing tracks for Stones Throw artists Homeboy Sandman and Pyramid Vritra, with a full-length planned for the label the following year. Knxwledge contributed to Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly in 2015 and released the beat tape Hud Dreems on the Stones Throw label that same year. ~ Paul Simpson
