Premiere: Knucks And Sam Wise Just Want To Escape On “Fxcked Up”
Written by SOURCE on June 26, 2020
West London rhymer Knucks has been on an almighty run since day one. Even when he dropped 2014’s Killmatic in his teens, he was by no means new to writing and rapping, having started at just 12 years old. All these years later and he’s practically a veteran, but he’s by no means resting on his laurels. Ahead of a new EP (due later in the year), he today presents his new single, the world-weary “Fxcked Up” with good friend and creative ally Sam Wise.
Sometimes I feel to run away, pack my bags, they tell us on the hook, instantly summing up the base-level anxiety that dwells in the pit of all our stomachs. Backed by a bumping instrumental that Knucks produced himself, the two rhymers from opposite ends of the capital use their uniquely distinctive flows to run through the countless stresses that weigh us all down, from fake friends to politics to the pressures that come with success. Camped out in their plush, loft-style apartment, the Ray Fiasco and JC. Fry visuals catch the pair growing tired of it all and ultimately doing what we all wish we could — hop in an expensive car and leave the world in behind.
