Knotz To Provide The Antidote To Ailing Hip-Hop Music Scene

East Stroudsburg, PA. (Top40 Charts/ Turmic Records) - Can three blood brothers living in the woods of Pennsylvania save hip-hop from its commercial music demise Aswad Mikal, Megaton, and Dreadchild of the group Knotz have begun to do just that with their latest release The Antidote EP scheduled to hit the streets on August 1, 2007.

The group Knotz, best known for their Download (2000) and Poizunous Paragrafz the Mixtape (2006) CDs, has set themselves apart from the mainstream hip-hop scene by becoming the very symbol of the "anti-bling" establishment. As Aswad Mikal stated in a recent Music Phonebook article, "We spit for the masses, and the masses will never be able to relate to having big rims, platinum chains and grills and money that never ends."

The Antidote EP provides the urban music listener a refreshing and original retreat from the typical hip-hop offerings full of mostly catchy hooks and no substance. It includes six tracks that speak to the hearts and minds of those close to the streets. Knotz released a single off of the EP earlier this year that received immediate airplay. According to Josh B. of Radio Indy, "Knotz drops some hard lyrics and beats on their new single CD Black Rain feat. Najwa." The response from Chris Tucker of Global Underground Hip Hop Radio upon playing Knotz music on his station and hearing a positive response from listeners was "...thank you for keeping hip-hop alive!"

The Antidote EP is currently available online worldwide via digital distribution by Turmic Records. Delivery to retail outlets can also be arranged through Super D distribution. To purchase the album directly from Knotz, visit their Musicane Store.
