TheKnuBlack

TheKnuBlack are a Christian alternative rap duo formed by KnuOrigen of Los Angeles, CA and Kay Sade of Trenton, NJ. Together they fuse Christ-inspired storytelling with soulfully exciting instrumentals and captivating delivery. KnuOrigen started writing as early as middle school, and later developed his skills into the crafts of poetry and music. Kay Sade grew up writing and performing in instrumental ensembles. As she was heavily influenced by hip-hop as a child, it was natural that she invest her musical energies into the genre.
TKB likes to believe that they represent a tribe of people who tend to find themselves on the outside of what’s “cool” or “popular” (they call these people “Bantus,” named after a black hairstyle that is often unwelcomed). In light of this they decided to make their own rules and playgrounds where everyone can belong and, if they so desire, they can interact with the divine. Their first mixtape, Blue Gene Origins, debuted in 2015. Their first album, Van Goh, was released in Summer 2016. Much of their material can be found on Rapzilla, the online rap magazine that ranked TKB on their Freshman 2017 list. Much more can be found on their website (www.theknublack.com), SoundCloud, Spotify and YouTube pages.
