New Wave
Knucks has just unveiled his brand-new single, "Nkita," pronounced [n-kí-tá]. Produced by Kare and featuring the rapidly rising rapper Fimiguerrero, this track marks Knucks' first solo release of the year. Adding to the excitement, the video for "Nkita" includes a special guest appearance from US rap talent Smino.
In discussing the single, Knucks explains that "Nkita" means "dog" in Igbo, his native language, and is often used as an insult akin to "wild animal." He elaborates, "This song represents embracing that wild side and owning that title as someone who can be composed and put together but also has that wild, savage side."
The track, produced by Kare, showcases Knucks' signature blend of smooth lyricism and innovative beats. Fimiguerrero's dynamic verses add an extra layer of intensity, while Smino's cameo in the video amplifies the star power and visual appeal.
"Nkita" is a bold statement from Knucks, highlighting his ability to merge his cultural heritage with contemporary rap influences. The song captures the essence of duality—being both controlled and untamed, polished yet raw. This dual nature is reflected in the powerful lyrics and the energetic production.
