Kirk Knight: “Brokeland”

Posted on February 10, 2015March 13, 2015 by Morgan Greenfield

Infamous rap crew Pro-Era’s very own Kirk Knight hits us with a fist-full of Brooklyn in his new single, “Brokeland.”

Filled with head-bobbing beats, this new crew has always been known for dropping tapes featuring self-produced music, and Kirk Knight is no exception. With rebellious tones, Knight sticks to hip hop norms by rapping about – you guessed it – guns and drugs. Life on the streets of Brooklyn is quite the ghetto adventure.

The music behind the track brings listeners back to the 90’s with its up-tempo bounce. The song starts with simple keyboard-separated chords that slowly but surely turn into a complex, Biggie-sounding beat.Throughout the intro, the rappers hype fans up with sounds of gunshots accompanied by shoutouts to their crew.

Once Kirk Knight starts to spit his game, you feel as though you want to get up and dance even though his lyrics are anything but light. He raps, “To try and flash clothes and fair guns / Because where I’m from for amusement shoot the fair one.” Heavy.

4.9/5
