Track Of The Day 12/5 – Knytro

Capone

With lightning fast flow and plenty of lyrical dexterity, it's easy to see why Knytro has been hailed as one of hip hop's brightest new voices.

Last year's release 'Project Haarpoon' gained massive exposure, with Radio 1's Zane Lowe naming it his favourite mixtape of 2014.

Snapped up by MTA Records (owned and founded by Chase & Status), Knytro is gearing up for the release of forthcoming EP 'The Griffin'.

Out on June 9th as a free download, Clash is able to preview new cut 'Capone' before anyone else. With its muscular production bordering on rock, 'Capone' finds Knytro paying homage to the original Public Enemy No. 1 himself.

This isn't some gangsta track, though, with the rapper displaying the twin poles of attraction/revulsion to the mobster's brutal rise to infamy.

Check it out now.
