STRXXT KNAWLXDGE REFLECTS ON HIS RAPPER JOURNEY, MUSIC RELEASES TO DATE, AND NEW RELEASES.
By Pempho Singo
"Stxxt Knawlxdge began rapping due to his older brother's influence and because rap music was his culture growing up. Strxxt Knawlxdge used to listen to tapes from his four older brothers. He used to listen to artists such as D Block, Last Emperor, Big L, and Eminem, to name a few.
Growing up, he was unaware of any Malawian artists, but he became acquainted with them after Luminous began bringing tapes in 2006 and 2007. Stxxt Knawlxdge released two albums and one extended play (EP). XCVII marks his debut, while Acknalxdge is a sophomore. However, on Acknawlxdge, he primarily served as a producer, which prevented him from rapping much. As a rapper, he has projects such as XCVII and The Calm Before the Storm.
The debut album contains 11 tracks and is named after the year he was born, 97, which corresponds to Roman numerals XCVII. The album included artists such as Prime and Prince Emman Chalz Ways. The second project, Acknawlxdge, includes 16 tracks and features artists such as Casy-P, D.O Dub Clvssick, Yvng Trufix, and many more. The EP Calm Before the Storm features only one artist, Prince Emman, and contains five tracks" read more here:
