Knock Knock by K Frxsty is pounding you like a freight train during the first few seconds, and frankly speaking, that is what you want in underground hip-hop. This is not music to listen to when you are in weak health because it is raw, pure street energy that makes you sit up and listen, and they are not going anywhere soon.
What hits you first is the punchy drill beats mixed with foreboding dark melodies that produce this just right gritty feel. The resulting production strikes balance the clean and the dirty without ever seeming forced and without losing that underground vibe that makes the song sound genuine. Those booming 808s and crisp hi-hats do not complement the flow: they are part of the weaponry.
The delivery of this track by K Frxsty is what makes it really come alive. He has a force in his voice that cuts right into the mix, and mixes raw emotion and unshaken confidence. His flow is like he was put there to ride the beat and every bar is adding momentum until you are entirely locked in. It is the type of authoritative voice that can set true artists and fakers apart in the underground.
The chorus is one that you will remember long after the song is over – catchy without becoming detrimental to the rebellious mood of the song. It is anthemic music that is ideal when you are driving late at night and you need something that has real teeth. It has that adrenaline-rush feel that wants you to crank the volume up and announce to the world you are coming.
Knock Knock shows us that K Frxsty is not an average underground voice that is desperate to be heard. He is creating music with true character, and unflinching swagger. The song is a good one to listen to again and again and features an artist who has learned that there are moments when the best thing to say is not to tone your sound down to please someone.
