Knxwledge Digitizes His New 'WT​.​PRT9_' Cassette Release

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Perhaps the most prolific and inventive beat konducta active today (yeah, we said it), Knxwledge has done the internets a favor and released a digital version of his new cassette WT​.​PRT9_. The project features a plethora of beats pulled from his excellent Hud Dreems LP, this time repurposed as full-on hip-hop tracks, with raps slathered over their gurgles and off-kilter kick patterns.

If you're wondering what's up with the project's title, it should be noted that the "WT" stands for wraptaypes, a series of releases that have peppered Knxwledge's Bandcamp page for years already (it's on that page that you'll find the original "Momma" beat, which was released on relevnt​.​b​/​sde_LP. back in 2013). On the new drop, you'll hear Hodgy Beats, Ghostface Killah and Odd Future vocals dolloped on top of these beat sundaes, and yes they're somehow made sweeter for it. Listen to the project below, purchase it via Bandcamp, and check out Knxwledge's full tour schedule after the jump.
