New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ 2SPR) Knoc-turn'al burst onto the scene in 1999 appearing on four songs on the multi-platinum Dr. Dre sophomore album, 2001. Following that with the Dr. Dre lead single Bad Intentions off Interscope-released The Wash Soundtrack, and a west coast star had officially been born. Knoc went on to debut his own singles, The Knoc featuring Dr. Dre and Missy Elliot and Muzik which cleared a Beatles sample and served as the lead single off the blockbuster film and soundtrack, The Transporter. Continuing his hot streak, Knoc featured on the official reunion single by the Ice Cube lead legendary west coast group, Westside Connection, a song titled Lights Out. In 2004, Knoc released his worldwide anthem, The Way I Am featuring Snoop Dogg. Knoc's debut album of the same title was released later that year. To say that Knoc's return with "Knoc's Ville" on May 10th is long overdue would be an understatement. The concept is heavily built around welcoming listeners and fans alike around the globe back into the world that is Knoc-turn'al. His hiatus is addressed on "Sorry I Left You", a west coast fan favorite produced by Treacherous Records in-house producer, Komplex. But Knoc is making his history of platinum plaques a point of emphasis on "I've Been Here For Years", hardly a friendly reminder which features Treacherous Records label mate and 1/4th of Slaughterhouse, Crooked I. "Knoc's Ville" is available for digital purchase now via Hoopla Media Group/Treacherous Records on all major digital retail chains.
