Knock2 has solidified his position as one of the most innovative talents in the music scene with the release of his impressive 17-track debut album, nolimit.
The new wave of music is upon us, and leading this movement are artists who are redefining traditional genres to craft unique styles that resonate with audiences. San Diego’s Knock2 is at the forefront of this evolution, skillfully blending various influences into captivating soundscapes while remaining authentic and relatable.
Today, Knock2 has launched his eagerly anticipated debut album, nolimit, set to elevate his career to new heights. With 17 tracks, this release is not just a compilation of hits from the rising star; it represents a rich tapestry of his influences and visionary approach, capturing the essence of the future of music.
Early singles from nolimit—“feel U luv Me,” “hold my hand” featuring Sophia Gripari, and “come aliv3” with RL Grime and Abi Flynn—offered fans a glimpse of what to expect from the full album. The tracks encompass a wide range of genres, from trap and bass house to drum and bass, all infused with nostalgic rave elements presented with a contemporary twist.
The lead track, “rookie,” serves as an engaging introduction to Knock2’s artistic vision. Collaborating with SAYAK DAS, this opener creates a festival-like atmosphere, characterized by ascending energy, powerful drops, and dynamic vocal stabs. A highlight of the album is “crank the bass, play the musik,” which showcases an infectious playfulness that escalates into an exhilarating build-up, epitomizing Knock2’s artistic prowess.
Knock2 continues to impress with the next three tracks. “shake!the!city!” featuring Naliya and “fw me (dirty)” with Rhea Raj maintain the bass house energy, while “dance or dead” featuring MILLI dives into the realm of trap. Other standout tracks like “select@,” “ready 2,” and “lights down low” featuring RemK and XAELO highlight Knock2’s versatility in crafting immersive soundscapes. He even shifts to a softer vibe in his second collaboration with Sophia Gripari, “my melody,” featuring pop-inspired vocals and soothing elements over laid-back breaks.
Piano melodies take center stage in the album’s title track, signaling the conclusion of this sonic journey. However, Knock2 ensures listeners are treated to one final impactful melodic drop before the piano notes gracefully close out the experience. It’s evident that this is not a farewell but rather a “see you later,” as nolimit clearly establishes that Knock2 is here to remain a significant force in the music industry.
