      Don't want to be so repetitive, but as someone who believes that rap should be about real life, positivity and struggle. Not about money cars etc. I believe you should dive into Milo J music. And I cant think of better way than his session with Bzrp.... He was 16 at the time, but always ahead of is time.

      Knox - I notice that, throughout this video, you are apologising for relating what you are hearing back to the loss of your cousin. Please don't apologise. Every person watching will be relating what they are seeing back to a situation(s) in their own lives - it's how we comprehend and make sense of the world. That's nothing to be ashamed of.
      Furthermore, you honoured your cousin on the track with King Crooked. We know that you're going through it right now. People who hold that in, do so to the detriment of their mental health - another topic you've spoken publicly on. Showing people that it's ok to talk about deceased loved ones and learn from those experiences is an extension of your prior work (particularly on Family Curse and My Time) breaking taboos in order to support others. That is honourable, not something to apologise for, my friend 👍

      Let me tell you Knox you know I was addicted to Oxycontin for 8 years because I was prescribed them but it's not an excuse let me tell you it's not because you destroy everything around you without even knowing that is exactly what you're doing you don't see it till it all collapses and that's what happened to me but I got sober thank God but not everybody does and it's not your fault cuz I know I heard your song about your cousin and people that use cannot make you feel guilty Trust and Believe In what I'm saying if you can have an intervention and help that person great but if they're not willing to there's nothing you can do you have to walk away and I've learned that being sober I had to walk away from my husband the man I loved since junior high thank God he's sober now but I still can't be near him it has to be a lot longer and things happen that way and it's not your fault I always want to tell somebody this as being a user I blamed everybody but being sober I know now that it's nobody's fault but mine it was nobody's fault but mine and that person has to come to that realization and if they die I feel so bad it's horrible cuz I've seen so many people die in my family but what could I do people are going to use people are going to use if they want to believe me nobody got a gun hold it to their head as a matter of fact people that use drugs usually don't want to share LOL even though it's not funny seriously nobody should feel guilty but if you do have a chance to have an intervention do it

    I recently od’d on purpose I just had so much going on in life and it just seemed like the way out but yet it was the hardest decision of my life but also the easiest. unfortunately, I have an escaped the grasp of addiction yet and had lost faith in humanity, but the EMT they just happened to show up to help me also came back and told me that she lost her sister to addiction and begged me to do something for me. They hit me pretty deep and all this positivity love and care I see coming from channels like yours and the words from Someone that’s never met me that’s an EMT made me feel more love than I’ve ever gotten from any family and that’s what restore my faith. 25 years drug abuse under my belt, 14 accidental overdose, and three attempts on purpose just to get away from it now I feel like I have something to prove not just for myself, but for others if I don’t do it for me, I’ll do it for others so they can have hope .

Also…I’ve battled this myself as well. I work for Ford Motor Co. I broke down to my bosses in 2014 with my addiction issues. Ford paid $37,000 for my rehab, & I’ve been clean since July 11th 2014. I’m sorry about your cousin. God rest his soul. Praying for you & your extended family. God bless

    Knox, the guy playing the "Junkie" is my fiancés good friend Mic DeVine. They all grew up together rapping in Worcester, MA with Joyner. Mic is an AMAZING rapper, and would be Forever grateful if you could give it a listen, & maybe even react to it. If this got you choked up, then Mic DeVines 'Way Down We Go' will destroy you. (It's dedicated to one of our friends, Dave Fournier, who lost battle with his addiction.)

(Like, instantly, so I'm thinking he has keywords that cause certain comments to be taken down right away.) It's weird cause I'm not being shady or hurting anyone. I just think my mans friend deserves some recognition because he's great. He has very few views, so I was hoping to get him some much deserved recognition.

Like we say the say things over and over in argument after argument and finally we say something terrible, something we know we are going to regret. Just to finally see a reaction other than blank stares

    Sober 1 year 4 months and 19 days…. The perspective of the addict on this is SOO on point. Every damn word, I’ve spoken them to myself for over 12 years. I had to drop to the pit of hell to fight that poison, hardest fight of my life. Knowing you face another day over and over aging of the worst pain your mind can imagine just to make you reach for relief that only a foot away. Getting clean is a fight and we all want to win, but if you haven’t felt it, this song really puts some mental perspective on it and the physical fight can’t be explained. Keep fighting, 1 minute, 1 second at a time, you can make it, the pain does end ❤ I believe in you

    Knox I've watched your channel for years now. I've struggled with addiction starting at a young teen, I'm 18 now. Writing music has been the only coping skill I've had to distract myself from using, on my 18th birthday I went into rehab. I got special permission to turn on the TV and watch ur channel because I voiced to the people there that you are one of the select few options I have to keep myself distracted. I watched you everyday in rehab for 30 days, and came out sober and with an incredible ability to hear and write music. I have left and abandoned many things and people but those things and people were never you. I'm two months sober now and I don't want to say that your the reason I'm sober but ur the reason I have the ability to create music which keeps me sober. I remember the first NF reaction, I was at a very low point, but now I'm here watching this a completely sober and happy man and you were truly one of the key factors to get me there. When I mean you did so much for me I mean I would instantly pick to see you if I had the opportunity to see any celebrity. U helped me change my life and I got so emotional watching this. I don't comment much but know you're out here doing a lot more than youll probably ever know. Thank you

    Addiction is so destructive. We didn’t choose to get addicted. Some of us chose to fight back & get sober. Sober since Feb 19 2001. That was a rough year. Not everyone can battle their demons & win. Some take the addiction to the extreme.
    Never take a permanent solution to temporary problems! People need you here.

    “Hope that your reflection will send you a message, and you will see that this shit is much deeper then you.” That bar hit home the most for me. I have 3 years clean off fentanyl now but when I was in early recovery my mom sent me a photo of me at my sons 3rd birthday party. I was 175 pounds when I normally walk around at 220. I looked like a shell of myself. When I was in my addiction I thought I looked good. But looking back on the picture I looked like shit. If we could only see how we look when we are in the addiction, it could possibly help but we are so blind to it cause all that matters is getting high.

    I just heard this song for the first time yesterday, and I almost cried. It's such a beautiful picture of addiction and recovery, and how the world, family members, society at large reacts to it. My fiance and I are both celebrating 4+ years of sobriety right now, but what a long and rough journey it was for us to get here. My brother is still in his active addiction along with my father, and I lost my mother to addiction a couple years ago as well though, so I can also speak from the perspective of someone struggling to love others through their addiction. That's also such a hard place to exist in as well. It's important to set loving boundaries so as not to enable another's addiction, but at the same time... We have to do our best to love each other through our struggles and addiction. Thank you Knox for this reaction. It really spoke to me. Sending healing vibes and prayers your way for the loss of your family member to addiction. You Are Not Alone 💙

One day my daughter called me as I was getting high after not talking to me for a year. That call made me realize I what I needed to do. Today I have my kids back and that's all that matters to me.

    Knox your explanation of your cousins addiction is unbelievable to listen to as an addict myself to hear someone understand why people are addicts. We have low self esteem. We feel we don’t fit in we struggle with day to day life. And when we try and run life on our own we run it into the ground. That’s why we need to hand out life over ever morning to a power greater than us. For me it’s that thought that comes in when you know you are about to do wrong. That thought that says don’t do that is god and I always listen to that thought these days.

    People who have never had a addiction don't understand how hard it is to beat one. Addiction is a monster you go to war with every day and as a addict you don't even know why you do what you do and at a point it feels like its the only constant in your life. Being a addict you crave that constant cause its the only thing that never changes never stabs you in the back never gives up on you or kicks you when your down. It is a absolute mental health hell it takes over everything no matter who you love, no matter your connection is in your head all of that can change and fall apart but your addiction never does its your safe space its your everything.
    You never realize how much it takes you over and replaces everything in your life till you don't have it anymore. You go thru absolute hell both mentally and physically with withdraws and no matter who is by your side no matter how much love they give you, you still have to fight the demons in your head every day till you finally kill them off and sadly most people don't have that kind of fight in them.
    This is coming from someone who has been addicted to drugs and booze most of their life.
    I beat the drug addiction only to fall into the booze addiction and after all these years I just kicked my last addiction to booze. I been thru the mill and now just starting to see how I pissed away the last 20yrs of my life.
    The only thing I can say to some one with a addiction now is simply this don't be afraid to lose the thing you think is constant cause its the thing that is hurting you now. When you have people trying to help you even if you think their help is bullshit or just cause they want to feel like they saved you in some way accept the help cause their intentions don't matter yours do. You want to turn your life around and find happiness than go thru the real hell of with draws and fight that shit to the death cause once you come out on the other side you will see more clear than you ever had in your life. You will also get to see what real love feels like when your not chasing a addiction and it will genuinely surprise you how many people will tell you they are happy for you and proud of you.
    If you got a addiction and read this you can beat it just know that its hard to do at first but every day it gets easier and easier once the withdraws stop and once you see things in a different light you won't stop chasing that light cause you will have found a new life and want to keep it. Good Luck

    I absolutely love this song. Period. I grew up with a mother who is addicted to all kinds of medication’s because she had had cancer when I was three and never really got off the pills. I’m 42 and she just passed away in November due to complications of years of addiction. And I did have to let her go decades ago because I had children and I couldn’t let my children be around that. But what I really wanna say I really want my message to be is that it’s not always about getting high I think people who have never dealt with addiction whether it be them or a close family member think it’s about getting high. When in my experience, it’s about escaping reality. It’s usually to forget trauma even just for a few hours. I think that’s important for people to know. Thanks, Knox.

    Sorry for your loss knox! This track is spot on!! Speaking as someone who has personally been through it from each perspective I lost my sister to an overdose in Aug of 2017. She was my best friend and was more of a mother to me than my actual mother. I witnessed the impact her addiction had on our family and her daughter. I'm also an addict myself. Been clean since August of 2019 (almost 5 years) ❤ when I lost my sister we weren't on good terms because of some hurtful things she said to me during an argument. She reached out to me 2 weeks before her overdose apologizing and because I was still hurt I didn't respond. Still my biggest regret in life.

    This song really hit me and your reaction did as well everything you said is 100% true I just lost my dad two weeks ago to an overdose and everything you said is spot on. I fought with him on an off for years to a point where I finally had to move to a different state and block him because I couldn’t deal with it anymore, we found a journal of his where he said that he was tired of hurting the people he loved but he was hurting and depressed this is definitely not what he wanted to be but couldn’t help it. I’m just hoping he’s pain-free now.

    Thanks, Knox. Addiction is dealing with demons every minute of everyday. Especially, when you're clean and sober. Some people still believe it's a choice. It's truly a constant struggle through life. Sorry, what your family went through

    19 months ago I could have sang this song to myself. 28 yrs in the madness and I made it out. This song hits hard to me from 2 ways. 1 cuz I lost my cousin to an OD and 2 cuz I was in the same boat. Thank God and my family I made it out and now I'm back to myself. It is a disease and no matter how strong you think you are that beast is even stronger. Help is always there

    I have a request, it’s called eiley by too close to touch. Some context is the lead singer Keaton Pierce sang it for his little sister who passed away. You can hear the real emotion throughout the song. Even sadder is he passed away a few years ago.

    Co star in this music video is Mic Devine. He wrote a song called "Way Down We Go ". He dedicated it to his friend Dave who he lost to a OD. So he's not acting I'm this music video. He's using his life experience of loss to show the emotions of this situation which I believe everyone can connect with either having experienced addiction or having or losing a loved one to addiction.

    addiction is hard to watch when you love someone. What a lot of people don’t understand is that it can be just as hard afterwards. Some addicts believe that life with be perfect if they could just quit… and when they do, they have to deal with how hard life STILL is. 💔

    First of all I am so sorry for your loss! This made me emotional. I have 2 brothers that are addicts, and my parents too. Not sure how I made it out without being one too, but I did. I thank God for that but the fear of getting the call where I find out I have lost one of them scares me. Even more when they are clean for a while.

    I think my favorite part is the lyrics of jelly rolls chorus. It's a double edged sword. Cuz it reflects both perspectives of sober and addict. And it hits hard in any direction. It's literally 50/50 depending on who's listening. The sober or the addict! 🤯

    I absolutely love this song. I have been an active addict that completely agrees with this song and everything knocks said about it. I am now almost 4 years clean off opiates. The reason I was able to get clean is 2 fold first having a good reason to be clean. Witch was my Daughter who I had not seen in a couple years asking me and my wife to be at her grad the other was having my wife there to get clean with me. Knocks I want to say I love your channel and content please keep bringing us all this amazing stuff and keep up with the amazing reactions.

    Knox I work with men who are in recovery. You are right there is a lot they have to battle with outside of their addiction. Oftentimes, it’s shame, inadequacy, codependency, guilt, unresolved grief, among many other things. We try to address each of those components that are lacking and shore them up. The drugs tend to simply be a crutch to not feel the feelings or face the things they don’t know how to. It doesn’t always work unfortunately, but it is certainly worth the effort. RIP your cousin, brother.
