Knxwledge
Knx. (born-name Glen Boothe, aka Knxwledge, the bandcamp king of the beat-scene) is making our favorite hip-hop instrumentals. Raised in central New Jersey, blossomed further in Philadelphia, and now located in Los Angeles. Knxwledge is a sample master whose beats sound like someone artfully flicking through a mixture of Sky Movie channel soundbites, LiveLeak videos and jazz breakdowns. The New Jersey native now lives out in Hollywood, right in the epicentre of the West coast beat scene. Amoeba Records is down the road. Chuck Strangers from Pro Era is practically his neighbour. The Alchemist pops in and out of the area to nab vinyls. It's an environment that Knx has feasted upon. He's 15TB deep in hip-hop tinged instrumentals and a vinyl catalogue that reaches into the thousands
