7) KNOLLY BOY 2K – Runnin
The rap genre has changed a lot over the last few years. From the days of Easy-E and Wu Tang Clan to modern artists like Yeat or Destroy Lonely rap music has moved from deep, dark-heavy music to more party, fast and grimier lyrics.
Knolly Boy 2K mixes both and it stays insanely timeless, Hip-Hop arguably became a music genre where music is deeply thought about to the minimum detail; flow, lyrics, delivery, storytelling and even beat, Knolly Boy has everything of it to become great.
It is in his song that he captures the passion and exhilaration of those who are riding through the streets with an essence of abandon in their hearts.
Knolly Boy believes that there is still enough room for a new voice and perspective to emerge in this genre even though one of the biggest newcomers recently: Meek Mill, has certainly made a name for himself in this field.
“Runnin'” is precisely the type of track that is able to capture the raw energy, excitement, and rebellion of the biker culture, and he is confident that it will ring a bell with anyone who is hungry for adventure and rebellious thought.
I think this artist is someone who we should pay attention to. Follow his Spotify, and visit his website also!
