Why they always fuckin’ with me? No, I don’t give a fuck ‘bout One Time!” Since the reign of T-Pain, the city of Tallahassee has been starved of a star. Places such as Broward County and Miami have been the focus-point of Florida Hip-Hop for years now, leaving T-Town silently in the shadows. That is until K'NO dropped. Although the rapper is now based out of Los Angeles, he represents Tallahassee whole-heartedly; using his savage 2019 single, “ONE TIME”, to cast some rays back on his Gunshine home. Certainly, a star resides in this lyricist, capable of ascribing another face to Tallahassee’s growing list of greats. Only difference between K'NO, and the autotune icon before him, is that this emcee’s artistry hardly caters to the radio. Over hats, snares, and 808s, K'NO is inexplicably cutthroat. His bars are riddled with the ruthless realities of Tallahassee’s streets, matched with clever metaphors regarding the life he lives within them. “ONE TIME” is not a single detail shy of the grittiness, swagger and grime overtaking other areas of Florida. In fact, it may be even better, given that it pumps with an energy only K'NO can accord. This record will be dropping on all platforms May 23rd, and an album will be following it as soon as Miso Rich Entertainment gives the word. Until then, you can catch K'NO’s “ONE TIME” on Youtube; and watch this T-Town talent’s numbers quickly climb. 



“One Time” 









“Now mirror, mirror on the wall...” is quickly followed by “Now, whose the gangsta of them all?!”; and in the blink of an eye, there’s an answer. It is none other than Quinton Jamar, decked in black and designer, presenting “Mirror”. With a video that has catapulted to over 10,000 views on Youtube, shot by ZEROSCOPE, this January single is poised to make a splash. This Alabama cut, whilst boosting a speaker-knocking, Zaytoven-esque beat, reveals Quinton Jamar at the top of his game. He channels his Alexander City flow through a hardbody inflection to tell exactly why the man in the “Mirror” is precisely who he claims to be. Accounts of hustling, struggling, and eventually striving in those Southern streets are plentiful on this single. When combined, the outcome is a booming, Yellowhammer banger. Give it until the summertime. Without a doubt, the same Quinton Jamar standing before the “Mirror” in this eloquent video, will be known from Alexander City to California. Before the end of the year, the rest of the country will likewise lend an ear.
