Shout and respect to The Frank Knight rises… doing Justice to The Gonz track, and showing that he’s definitely in League with the likes of Killah Priest. See what I did there? Now, hear what they did on “Black in America II.”

The young Brooklyn emcee Frank Knight revisits his “Black In America” subjected record in his latest release “Black In America II” featuring Killah Priest of Wu-Tang Produced By Minnesota native The Gonz.

Both artists take the time to deliver a multi-layered perspective of two generational experiences that relate to being Black In America. The record entails their lives as black men growing up and living in America. They touch on points ranging from black excellence, police brutality, slavery, Black on Black crime, religion, and spirituality, just to name a few.

This is the perfect mesh of what New York sounds like over smooth modern boom bap vibes, dope lyrics, and perspectives of a legendary MC and a newcomer with something to prove.

Notable Quotables

Soundcloud Bio: Frank Knight (also known as Knizza or Frank Knizza) born Franklin Knight is a Hip-Hop artist born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Knight is the essence of all the powerful souls in ghettos worldwide. Knight uses his Hip-Hop artistry to convey the message of hope, self-determination, and love to express the stories of all the impoverished low-income individuals from all corners of the world. After growing up seeing multiple sides of life in the multicultural diverse New York City, Knight decided he wanted to be more than just another person who did for self. Knight wanted to be a positive impact on his community, and the lives of all those who live in similar conditions in every place in the world. Frank truly took it upon himself to be a man of the people, and reflect their struggles and joy throughout his music, which are his own struggles and triumphs as well.

Frank Knight has been featured on The Source, Jack Thriller, Hot 97’s DJ Enuff’s “That’s Enuff,” and much more. Frank Knight has been interviewed and played on Générations FM (France), Mouv’ Radio (France), First Mike Radio Show (France), Itch FM (London), Fubar Radio (London), Hot 97, Toca Tuesdays & Halftime Radio on Shade45’s Sirius XM station, Classic Storm Radio, Bushwick Radio, Voiceless Music Radio, All Elements on Wu-World Radio, Beats & Bars, Weeelive Radio, Swagger Thru The Roof, various College radio stations Such As: Brooklyn College (On The Rise, The Scoop), City College (Underground Railroad), Halftime radio (NYU) and many more. In 2015 Frank Knight was nominated for 4 awards at the Voiceless Music Awards and won 2 out of 4 “Best Airplay Song” and “Video of the Year” for his well known underground single “Welcome To Brooklyn.”

Frank has performed on college tours (2013-2015) throughout the US, as well all over the world including Paris, France (2016), Nantes France (2016), & London, United Kingdom (2016) for festivals and concerts. In February of 2015 Frank Knight recently released his debut project with producer The Gonz titled “Free Lunch” (available on most streaming platforms) which depicts the tales of his life and influences in the late 90’s – early 00’s, but in that same respect it’s an ode to Hip-Hop culture and the people who raised/inspired him during that time period. Frank Knight is now working on his follow-up project, the album “Est. 76,” which is a very hot commodity amongst his fan base. This album is more so of the journey of the boy learning to become a man since the Free Lunch days.
