Yesterday marked the one-year anniversary of Kirk Knight's debut album Late Knight Special. He commemorated the occasion by releasing a new track on SoundCloud called "10,000."
Knight has long since proven his chops a producer. On "10,000" he conjures a booming, propulsive boom bap beat that samples Drake's "Cece's Special" (s/o 416 Six) and sparkles as it trundles along into the night. Knight raps with a chip on the shoulder -- he's shooting for the stars.
"10,000" is only two minutes long but still worthy of the VERY HOTTTT tag. Give it a listen and read Kirk Knight's 'Behind the Beat' interview.
Quotable Lyrics
Fuck all that other shit, gotta get my grammar up
Any mistake I make will only build my character
And all that fake shit that people spread can hur barometer
But it's so contagious it's messing with me, not a janitor
