Knoc-Turn'Al answers the fans questions!
Raptalk.Net would like to introduce to all our readers today a brand new exclusive contest with Knoc-Turn'Al himself! We are encouraging fans and haters to submit questions to Knoc-Turn'Al! I (Lunatic) will be going through all questions each week. I will be putting my head together with Knoc-Turn'Al to pick out the best submitted fan and best submitted hater question(s) and dropping answers every monday on Raptalk.Net from Knoc-turn'al himself! If your question does not get answered, feel free to keep re-submitting it as there is no telling what Knoc-Turn'Al will be answering!
As you submit questions, leave a name (could be a nickname) you would like Knoc-Turn'Al to shout out in the answer!
This contest becomes official today, so all fans, readers and haters immediately begin submitting questions and the "Answers From The Book Of Knoc" series will begin this Monday with at least one answer to the best selected question! Drop questions throughout the week and see if Knoc answered your call!
After three months whichever question Knoc feels was the best and concludes you are the biggest Knoc-Turn'Al fan/hater, Knoc will be giving you an exclusive trophy made out of marble, engraved which claims you as his biggest fan/hater!
Feel free to post a phone number where Knoc-Turn'Al can call you at on Sunday evenings between the hours of 2PM-6PM (Los Angeles time) and if Knoc-Turn'Al feels you are an extra special fan/hater, you just may get a call from Knoc himself!
We are calling out all Knoc-Turn'Al fans/haters to begin dropping questions right here on Raptalk.Net or wherever else you see this contest posted (message boards/other websites/etc) or my personal email, lunaticmanagement@gmail.com. Be sure to return this monday to Raptalk.Net to see if Knoc-turn'al answered your question.

Why should people check your music when there is millions of rappers in the industry? What makes you so special and talented that even a hardcore hater wants to hear you rather than some average freestylers on the streets?
What are your strengths and your weaknesses as an artist?
What is your opinion on making beats from home studio and sending them to the
rappers so they can add verses on it, it seems like almost everyone can make a hit
beat nowadays. How do yourself work with the producers?
What producers have you had the best connection with inside the studio.
How would you describe your rapping style, is it:
a) smooth like Devin The Dude singing "bust one fa ya"
b) hard like Vinnie Paz eating glass with his mouth full of metal
c) lovemaking in the same time as spitting political raps in circles around small
George W. Bush texas farm
How would you describe yourself in "real life"?
These are some of my questions, still working on that hater stuff. This is a cool idea, your site keeps on popping with these ideas, should fully investigate that site.

What do you hope to have achieved when you look back on your musical career in X many years?
Treacherous has never released anything significant and failed to release Crooked I's album even with the HHW hype. It seems to me that Crooked I signed his career away to Treacherous. What's your point of view on Treacherous and what are (honestly) the chances your album will see the day of light? What would it take for you to opt out of your contract with Treacherous?
Who produced the following songs?
-Come All You (feat. Chyna Girl)
-L.A. Confidential (feat. Slip Capone)
-You Don't Know Much
-Your Only Son
-Eastwest shit (feat. Sticky Fingaz & Ms. Roq)
-What Is Life
-Peepin Tom
