California emcee and 2001 contributor Knoc-turn’al is readying his third official album, Knoc’s Ville. Released on Hoopla Media Group/Treacherous Records, this album is tenatively set to feature Jayo Felony and Yukmouth. One artist, a fellow Treacherous signee, that is confirmed to appear on Knoc’s Ville is Crooked I.
Knoc and the Slaughterhouse emcee will collaborate for Knoc’s Ville first single, “I’ve Been Here For Years.” The song also features past Too Short and E-40 collaborator James Elizabeth. The trio are intending to shoot an upcoming video for the single, which welcomes the public to appear. The video will be shot in California, and those wishing to partake may contact Jonathan Hay at JonHay@Gmail.com.
ﾓIﾒm glad everyone is excited for the project. Iﾒm excited to get it out,” Knoc-turn’al said to HipHopDX in a statement. “Iﾒm working hard to get it out by the end of year. Ideally, Iﾒd love to have it out for Halloween because I think it really fits that theme but if not by then, by the end of 2010 for sure. I canﾒt let another year go by without me serving my fans that Knoc-turnﾒal music. That goes for my International fans as well. Iﾒve always kept it true to the west coast and Knocﾒs Ville is no different.ﾔ
Executives from both imprints added that this will be Knoc’s proper follow-up to 2004’s major label release, The Way I Am, which boasted production from Dr. Dre, DJ Quik and Warren G. Treacherous also said that after Knoc’s Ville, the emcee will release an EP with DXnext alum/label-mate One-2.
