KnowFake drops ‘NOFAKESHITSZN’ EP. @nofakeshitszn
With the self-written, self-produced, self-mixed and self-mastered EP ‘NOFAKESHITSZN’ KnowFake brings his unique aggressive style to the forefront. With distorted instrumentation, raw sounds and a heavy hitting delivery KnowFake explodes on the scene. ‘GETBREAD’ kick-starts the project with an augmented Dancehall sample that is distorted into an amalgamation of Trap, Industrial Rock and even a fragmentation of Jersey Club. In just under a minute the signature sound is felt and KnowFake immediately differentiates himself from all peers. ‘NOREASON’ follows with an amazing instrumental that stretches the bounds of acceptable sounds into a range of thumps and clicks that play as a future dystopian industrial robotic rendition of modern Rock. With braggadocio bars KnowFake’s rebellious persona is felt throughout each track. ‘BAGSNATCHER’ boarders between Punk and Drum And Bass and boasts his most straight forward flow and lyrics. The experimental production reaches a pinnacle on the finale ‘B4IMETU’, booming percussion, reverberating kicks, augmented electric guitar solos and stuttering snare drum rolls that play like an AI’s adaptation of a marching band all merge together as proof of KnowFake’s genius. With a sung delivery dealing with the topic of love concluding the EP KnowFake further stretches his genre-bending range. All together ‘NOFAKESHITSZN’ is a unique offering that is truly personal and a much needed honest representation of an Artist’s inner tastes.
