Knightstalker – “The Opening Move” mixtape0
Posted by - In Music
Back in August, Knightstalker, a rapper from Germany, dropped his first solo mixtape titled “The Opening Move“. If you were with us a few months ago, you might remember when I posted his two singles “Thermosphere” and “Verse 4 Verse“. The mixtape was mixed by Germany’s DJ Easy, and hosted by Jersey’s DJ Klapton. Knightstalker showcases his mic skills throughout the album in over 20 tracks. Guest spots included Armageddon (of Terror Squad), Laws, LuGuz, Apaulo Treed, Tableek (of Maspyke), and others. Most of the production was handled by Knight’s in-house producers Romeo and Marodeur, but he also brought in some other beatsmiths too — Nefew (Switzerland), 2 Hungry Bros (USA), Sneezy of Hammer & Zirkel (Germany), Shaolin Beatmaker (France), and Logan-C (USA).
The topics range from socio-critical statements (Survival Strategy, Enough, Escape From Babylon I + II, Sinister Fate) to straight boomin’ HipHop anthems (Countdown, Just Holla, Platoon Leaders). “Late Knight Show” depicts the inner city street life in an unusual and anti-glorifying way, while “Thermosphere” and “Throw Ya Grams Up” are odes to HipHop’s natural medicine of choice. A few “freestyles” are mixed in between to find an exact balance between up-tempo/aggressive and slow/mellow songs.
