King of the Knight

Hip-hop boom-bap with a heavy swung drum loop, dusty snare crack, and dark brass stabs; verses ride sparse kicks and bass with tight internal rhymes, pre-chorus strips to clipped handclaps and vocal chops, chorus hits with chanty gang doubles on the anchor phrase. Lead vocal stays close-mic and dry in verses, then gets doubled and ad-libbed on hooks. Ear candy includes sword-metal hits, a rising choir swell into the chorus, and tape-stop throws before the last line. Mix is gritty, wide, and punchy with a vintage street-corner feel., hip hop, rap
