Last month we gave you the headsup that Knoc-turn’al was readying his third official album, the long awaited “Knoc’s Ville” to be released on Hoopla Media Group/Treacherous Records. Jayo Felony, Yukmouth and Crooked I were all listed as features on the new album and the single from that project is still set to be I’ve Been Here For Years with James Elizabeth – to which a video is being completed.
“Knoc’s Ville” was orginally slated for a November 9 release and we posted the full tracklisting in our last update, Tracklisting Revealed For “Knoc’s Ville”, however it has since been pushed back to a January 11th, 2011.
That move, and the new date itself as spawned a mixtape entitled “01.11.11” hosted by DJ Nik Bean & DJ Clean which is dropping right here for free download on December 8th.
From this new project we’ve been sent the lead single “Give Me The Night” which remakes – not samples – George Benson’s classic 1980 version. The beat was created from scratch by Komplex & Knoc-turn’Al in the studio. Download/Listen to the track within the full “01.11.11” mixtape tracklist below
