Knightstalker

HipHop as a culture has always been a reflection of the society including all positive and negative things in life. Knightstalker captures this both in his lyrics as well as the musical soundscapes, mostly provided by long time collaborator and Wu-Fam producer Falling Down. After having released both successful solo efforts (i.e. 2012’s “Knighttime”) as well as collabo LPs with Apaulo Treed, and fellow Berlin representative Le First (2016’s “Foreigners” album), he returns in 2023 to deliver more insightful and thought-provoking songs, backed by Falling Down’s fiery and sinister production.

Knightstalker, born and bred in the south-west of Germany’s capital Berlin, got in touch with rap music for the first time in the mid-nineties by hearing the latest HipHop music from the states on the basketball playgrounds in Berlin. Fascinated by the rhymes, flows and beats of east- and west coast artists alike, he soon fell in love with the art form called HipHop.
A couple of years later, motivated by his people and inspired by hometown heroes Kinzmen Clikk (KMC), he decided to “get his grind on” and began writing his own songs. By growing up in the borough of Neukölln, Knightstalker learned at an early age what it means to live in a borough that’s a cultural melting pot with a high crime and unemployment rate. Besides dealing with those socio-political themes, as well as “grown-up”-topics he adds his own little twist of modern day battle rap and storytelling to the mix!
