The Knux ft. Naledge - Floozy

You know...I'm not a big fan of The Knux...
but every jam I hear is juuuuuust good enough for me to care.
And here we are again.

The Knux: The F**k You EP

Ehhhhh...The Knux have always been a little too "Hey, look at us, we're so different!" for my taste, but I imagine some of you are bigger fans than I am SO...direct your attention this way, and have some.

The Knux - Fire (Put It In The Air)

This feels . . .comfortable.
Like old slippers (that's a compliment)

Oddly enough, just this past weekend, I was talking to my boy that introduced me to The Knux in the first place about how they've completely fallen off the radar. A while back, they were about to be the "next big shit" . . .then an album came out, no one knew it, and no one's talked about it since. The interwebs are fickle, I guess.

Leaders of the New Cool

Alrightie . . .
So, Complex Mag's last issue centered around the unfortunately named "hipster rap" movement and it's stars, trends, yadda yadda yadda.

Clearly, you read this blog, which makes us friends, which means you're already cool like 6 Octobers, so you don't need any tips on any of that.

Here's what you do need...the Mick Boogie (insanely prolific in '08, ain't he?) mixtape to go along with the Complex piece. Got some jams on it:

The Knux - Bang Bang

I'll probably get egged for saying this, but I thought The Knux first song was marinated in whack juice and coated with a thick layer of "try hard", so I haven't checked for 'em since. Saw this today, though. Much better, but I'm still gonna need a bit more before I keep that second eye on them.
