Watch Knxwledge Perform "Jstowee" Live On 'In The Dungeon'

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

It's only a few short hours until West Coast beatmaker and Stones Throw-signee Knwledge drops his debut LP Hud Dreems, and to say we're eager is to understate by a mile. The producer has been riding a wave of exposure after his work on Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp A Butterfly Cut "Momma," but those in the know have been tracking his staggering output on bandcamp for years already. Hud Dreems, however, is set to be his greatest achievement thus far--it totals over 25 tracks and is loaded with strange, mind-altering grooves.

To celebrate the LP release (or perhaps just for the sheer pleasure of kicking a tune live), Knxwledge performed his recent single "Jstowee" for Stones Throw's 'From The Dungeon' video series. We have to assume that the "dungeon" in this case is ST's warehouse back room, which hardly as intimidating as the name might have you think. Armed with a few controls, Ableton and a delicious looking L, Knxwledge burns through the track with ease, treating us all (and himself) to a beautiful three minutes of sound.

Hud Dreems goes on sale tomorrow, May 5th, and you can cop yourself a digital copy on iTunes or order a vinyl piece here. Watch Knxwledge tear through "Jstowee" live from the dungeon below.
