Knoc-Turn'Al Annnounces "01.11.11" (Single + Interview) - By : Rud - November 29, 2010

(http://www.dubcnm.com/cdcovers/knocturnal-011111-md.jpg)

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-turn'al's "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

01) Just Like Us (Feat. One-2 & Cashis)
02) Ain't Seen U At All (Feat. Jaguar & Young Hu$tle)
03) Give Me The Night
04) Call Me (Feat. Jaguar)
05) Mad At The Aftermath (Feat. Shaunta & Shorty)
06) Sorry I Left You
07) Oh, Oh Here She Comes (Feat. Jaguar, Jayo Felony & Sabrina)
08) Huntin'
09) Can We Do Our Thing
10) I'm On The Hunt (Feat. Airamis)
11) U Don't Know (Feat. The Raskal & Lifted)

Not only do we have that single but we also linked up with Knoc-Turn'Al, courtesy of a contribution from Justin Melo, to discuss the "01.11.11" in a track-by-track breakdown interview. If the titles of the tracks interest you then wait until you read the below where you can hear from the man himself about the selection process - and recording story - to each of the records that appear on "01.11.11" check the insightful interview below!

(November 2010)

Enjoy the new single and exclusive interview and ensure you check back on Dubcnn for the free download of "01.11.11" on December 8th! In the meantime thanks to Knoc and Justin and make sure you follow Knoc-turn'Al on Twitter.

Relax guys - We will release the entire mixtape free of DJ tags shortly after the Dec 8th date. Plus DJ Nik Bean & DJ Clean are very good when it comes to tags.

What does everyone think of "Give me the Night?" It's unique.

I like the vibe.  Knoc can pull that switch up, and he did a good job.  He should be mainstream if he does it right.

Nice Single! good stuff

although there's  not much new stuff on this mixtape for me,
i'm still looking forward to some new Knoc stuff.

Can't stand that I'm On The Hunt song though. that one sucks!

I got this other record by Shaunta featuring myself called “Mushrooms” that’s crazy. We were tripping out when did that record (laughs). It’s something we did over at Aftermath and it never leaked. Mahogany who produced “Bad Intentions” produced “Mushrooms” as well and will be leaking that sometime soon as well.
i would like to hear this

Yeah I have to agree. DJ Nik Bean is the absolute worst DJ I've ever heard when it comes to tagging and the fact that he's on this project means I'll be passing it up until there is an untagged.

Nothing but respect for you Luna, keep up the good work.

I never post in threads of songs I do not like (don't like to leave negative comments) but to be honest this song is wack.. Why would he even release it? What happened to Knoc's singing like on Westside Connection - Lights out or his own albums...

Album throwaway, figured we'd give it to the fans. Knoc wanted 2 shot a video so we did that 2. We got plenty of that singing.

So yesterday i played that Give me the Night song and some of my non hiphop friends, really seems to like it.

maybe it got mainstream potencial? you know , it got no curse words, its a cover version so it rings a bell?

im not sure, but i hope this will do good  for Knoc!

I know alot of people out here do not like DJs on mixtapes but for alot of artists NEED DJs. I mean of course the role of a DJ has changed since the beginning of hip hop but these DJs help to brand the artist, radio and video placement, exposure, recognition, etc. It has only been recently people have been asking for more and more projects untagged so they are doing it. Almost like having a clean version and explicit of a album but for mixtapes, the DJ one is always gonna be first because they are the ones hosting and promoting the project.

Some of yall really need to stop with the over excessive bitching and complaining about that. Just contact the artist about it and in alot more cases they will release it.

Why not let someone else promote your project? Like a manager.. I know, it costs some money so if that's too expensive just promote yourself until you can afford a manager. I think many DJs working really unprofessional and it usually stimulates them only to put itself on the map, which makes sense.

No one would complain if DJ's/artists wouldn't be so stingy. Most mixtapes don't even come out untagged.

It's a option, but most artists will go with a DJ again because they can break singles on radio and get them the proper exposure they need for a project. Better them then trying to do it yourself. I do agree though unless your tape is done by Crazy Toones and a handful of others, have a untagged version handy.

I just got through listening to this mixtape.  Overall it's 2/5, what's up with all these wack features?  There are a couple bangers, I'll give him that, but the rest are average at best



Disappointing if this is what the album turns out to be Return of the Hustler 2

Some of these aren't Knoc songs. For example, (I'll keep it real) He was paid to do songs with The Raskal, Airamis, etc

Definitely not Return of the Hustler 2 LOL

But I will let you be the judge very soon
