I love how he's telling a mythical like story of a broken man but also not mindlessly glorifying him, he's truly telling the story of a man who was wylin up the hood and was prepared for death. For that he had scars escaping it. bro He even showed us this man's justification for his daily sins. this man is truly storyteller son 🤦🏿♂🔥🔥
@@bigz3517 I may be wrong on this since i neva seen the movie but I think it's slightly inspired by Omar from The Wire he's used inspiration from that show b4 and the end segment about being shot and jumping out the window is almost idenitcal to a scene in it
I never understood the ending of the song was it a police officer he shot or just some random on the phone to his mates who died because Leon was so paranoid that someone would get him one day The fact that he ran to the window yet no other officers or cars were out there kind of suggests that it wasn't the police at the door
This song really feels like you're in the back of a car hearing two olders tell you a myth. The truth gets a bit murky, there's some embellishments and moments where you think "nahh that didn't happen", but you feel that there's something really real in there anyway..
The melodic instrumentation, drilly basslines and storytelling is the coldest match made in heaven. Tune after tune a masterpiece. Big love from New York

Knucks 👑, keep creating... I feel ur music. Man like u deserve so much more recognition (Jevon! 🧙🏽♂️), the real ones know though. Original & gifted... storyteller, movie maker, production is lit. One of the best in the UK scene 💯☝🏼🔥❤
'My hunch is, he holds So don't hold any punches' I loved this. You are a lyrical genius. A poet. A Storyteller. The Bard for all the badman and baddies alike. Man's really going for GOAT. You seen the ending, his Only competition is himself. Can't wait to see you in Bristol 😍 I'll be curly haired girl front row mouthing all the lyrics.
What this sampled from reminds me of the Blind Hitman skits so much my brain is wired to crease when I hear it 😂 this was elite though 👏🏾🔥🔥 the storytelling is vivid enough to not even need a vid, but this was legendary
Who else is doing it like knucks?? Top storyteller + lyricist, on tracks which are current to the UK sound, whilst carving his own lane and creating his own whole sound inside that. Goat-status pending
Heard this guy on Radio 1 last night, this track blew me away & really stuck in my mind. The wordplay on this track made my jaw drop open, Knucks is amazing.
Glad to see there are still laments being written for the Kingdom of León and its absorption into Castile in the 15th century. Did you ever hear the story about León?
I always listen to music on spotify. I was shocked when i saw the comment section of this banger... How is he underated on the UK??? He's one of my favs, for sure. I'm Portuguese and me and my boys are always popping his songs! God damn, he deserves a lot more for his talent and dedication
Hip hop head for over 30 , son is 14 knucks is the ONE no man come close to the style - story telling ‘Man’s writing a screenplay - I will reach when ready bro - you are the undercover general - salute
I like these calm little moments before the storm. It reminds me of Beethoven. Can you hear it? It's like when you put your head to the grass and you can hear the growin' and you can hear the insects.
Mans is nice..I’m from Cali and usually don’t listen to too much from the UK..that being said, his style is smooth, he paints an amazing picture with his story telling, and he’s snappin 💯 🔥 (Videos are always on point also)
"Logic and reason one thing he preed Every man's got a code Never hit children or women And don't bring tings to your humble abode" 💯🔥 Youre one of my fav to do it out that way, Love from NY 🤞🏼
big up NY produced the greatest rap scene so do us another favour and tell all ya NY friends bout knucks because i have no idea why he’s not well known in the U.S
@@pinkyR2 believe me bro, I've been trying to put on. The music from UK, I feel, doesn't get enough American love. Most people out this way are starting to get into Central Cee but that's all they know. I Rate alot of Artists from that end of the world. Knucks, DC, Cent, Fredo, Digga, Ardee, Chip, Headie, Dave, Abra, Sainte, Joe James, Jordy, Youngs Telfon, Stormzy, etc. I'm well into it, from Grime to Drill, get me, much love bro 💯🤞🏼
@@pinkyR2 yea I've listened to some JME, but I didn't deep dive into his music yet, won't lie. I'll get up on it soon. Give me your Top5 and I'll listen. I don't have anybody to put me on to artists from out there, I've been finding them on my own really
Been listening to knucks since when I had covid in jan and I’m not gonna lie he’s so talented it’s insane. With the state the uk rap scene is in with the Constant sampling from old songs(sun goes out my zoot comes up🤡) he’s a breath of fresh air man
man I love how Leon's story is told by two olders telling a youth about him in a car. Seriously well done, Edgar Allan Poe couldn't hold a flame to Knucks' short stories lol

Still so shocking how underrated this guy is
Trust me I don't understand...
Facts
Top 5 in UK imo
TELLINYA HIM AN SAINTE
And his music videos
I love how he's telling a mythical like story of a broken man but also not mindlessly glorifying him, he's truly telling the story of a man who was wylin up the hood and was prepared for death. For that he had scars escaping it. bro He even showed us this man's justification for his daily sins. this man is truly storyteller son 🤦🏿♂🔥🔥
he based it off a movie called the professional whos main character was leon who you stated is broken which is correct
@@bigz3517 I may be wrong on this since i neva seen the movie but I think it's slightly inspired by Omar from The Wire he's used inspiration from that show b4 and the end segment about being shot and jumping out the window is almost idenitcal to a scene in it
@@guapamoleee2128 oh boy,you sure are missing out. the movie is really good
@@broniabdul-razak110 one of the best movies everrrrr
I never understood the ending of the song was it a police officer he shot or just some random on the phone to his mates who died because Leon was so paranoid that someone would get him one day
The fact that he ran to the window yet no other officers or cars were out there kind of suggests that it wasn't the police at the door
Nobody's even close to this guy he's paving his own lane, the success will soon follow
Him and DC are top for me.

No more underrated talk. Knucks a living legend.
So are you bro! Legendary visuals from the start
this vid is eliteeee bro🔥
Your music vid are legendary too
🤝🤝🤝
You too bro 🤝🤝🤝🔥🔥🔥
I like the fact that on the ‘Alpha Place’ album the song ‘Decisions’ at the end they say “have you heard of Leon” then it cuts into this masterpiece 🔥
The melodic instrumentation, drilly basslines and storytelling is the coldest match made in heaven. Tune after tune a masterpiece. Big love from New York
Knucks needs to come perform in NYC. He's so fucking good
the piano and lyrics always repeat in my head, shits just beautiful
honestly most big drill and trap rappers don't compare to this guy at all not sure why he isn't bigger
The melodic instruments is sampling reflections by toshifumi hinata, goated way to use it
Wow the sample is sereaphic💃

Intro
Waiting waiting
sat here waisting my time just waiting
In car parked outside of the station
came with 2 yutes older than me
I used to like when they tell man stories
About all the highs n lows on the street
Who rose who fell
Who goes to jail
Who don’t anis free
Hook
Did you ever hear the story bout Leon
I said Leon
They said Leon
He was from the flats that the jack kids be on
Before the cats there had they crack to fien on
They Say on the street he a phenom
When he squeeze dons it’s phenomenal
Make a change off a name like a hitman
and will hit man if its reasonable
Verse 1
They all have the same reason to call
Oh What a big misfortune If blank Ceases to breath any more
Mac on the mantle, teeth in the draw
If you ask him hell call it his calling
COURSE his the one that’s receiving the call
If a price on your head in the morning
Kool
money up like there’s ps on the wall
When the Payment is set
Just need a name and address
A Couple pictures never hurt man wann be certain He aiming correct
Scar on his arm and the nape of the neck
And a big one goin along mans torso from when them boys try snake him in west
That calass got repaid in flesh
Hook
“”
Verse 2
Logic and reason
One thing he preed
Every mans got code
Never hit children n women
And don’t bring tings in ur humble abode
Caught most of his bodies alone
Bodies in storage, bodies at home
Feds on a mission to catch man slippin
By time they sniffin along mans ghost
Bro who’d you suppose I can go to and talk bout a small little problem
My problem on princess road by the junction
My hunch is he holds
so don’t hold any punches
Hold what?
Hold where?
Man flung on the all black airs
Take out a man in his bando and end up wrappin up all that’s theirs
Hook
“”
Verse 3
He come back one evening
Ain’t even get round to put keys in the door
The ding of the lift when it came to the fifth
Sent a shiver the kid ain’t feelen before
What Did they finally find my location
Ok den
Mans waiting
Then When he gradually opened the door
Heard a voice say don’t move mate ur goin to the station
He always new one day they would come
Hell go out amazing blazing his gun
He reached for the piece that he kept on the landing
But man wasn’t playin and layed him with one
Boom
When the fed try radio it in
man ran for the first window that was open
He couldn’t survive that fall are you jokin
But when he looked out there was nobody posted
Hook
“”

i c u chicken man
Sounds like the same sample from the original youngs Teflon rule of two
It is the being hitman skit tune...Leon the professional...professional hitman
Elegant, eloquent and all round excellent Knucks. Criminally underrated this has to be his year to blow
Lets not focus on him being underrated lets focus on his greatness…
pure greatness man!
Wow this is different for real.. 🔥🔥
Knucks really has a way with words, it’s more than rap, it’s storytelling
LEON EDWARDS...UFC CHAMPION
Nah the assassin
😂😂😂good one
headshot dead
This mad funny🤣🤣
Fuck bro
This bangs 🔊🔥
But your on mute 🤫
Knucks on the up & up, big up the early supporters we’re finna see him shine this year 🥰
The beat gives me goosebumps at the instrumental part at the end,
It's just perfectly smooth
Léon, the professional. One of my favourite films
Right? It's goated
masterpiece
Man why did you not put the video version on streaming platforms ?! I am missing that piano vybe af in the outro
hahahah bro i was so disappointed too, luckily he put it on his album
Knucks always has the best instruments in his productions
the samples are perfect for story telling
Its the sample from dem tik toks 😂 bangs tho
@@PE4ss you see i am liking the bars and wordplay and shit but I don't like it on this instrumental
@@BigCfromtheB its been stuck in my head for time now, looking back i think its a bit cheep using this sample. reminds me of the wii
@@PE4ss he definitely added his own special touches to it though
I am head over heels with Knucks production - definitely one of the UKs finest right now
If Knucks dont win a Award this Year im finna get pissed off !!!
My neighbours listens to this everyday, not like he has a choice tbh
Who else is doing it like knucks??
Top storyteller + lyricist, on tracks which are current to the UK sound, whilst carving his own lane and creating his own whole sound inside that. Goat-status pending
Heard this guy on Radio 1 last night, this track blew me away & really stuck in my mind.
The wordplay on this track made my jaw drop open, Knucks is amazing.
Knucks deserves all the success
Came across this while going to rent Leon the professional. One of the greatest movies ever. Glad I hit this up first.
Goes hard.
Hope knucks get the recognition he deserves this year
Glad to see there are still laments being written for the Kingdom of León and its absorption into Castile in the 15th century. Did you ever hear the story about León?
Brooo i can proudly say I’m here before you seriously blow up , the tunes are unreal man. So underrated but so good
ME TOO. THIS MAN WILL BE CONSIDERED ONE OF THE MOST LEGENDARY ARTISTS IN THE UK SOON. LOVE FROM IRELAND
I always listen to music on spotify. I was shocked when i saw the comment section of this banger... How is he underated on the UK??? He's one of my favs, for sure. I'm Portuguese and me and my boys are always popping his songs! God damn, he deserves a lot more for his talent and dedication
Na regra mm
Most underrated artist in Europe. Don’t understand why he’s soooo underrated
he aint selling out for a couple 0's
His music is timeless, he will outlast most rappers in the scene IMO
This guy gets mad views consistently on his own channel. Not underrated
@@zh2266 been making consistent bangers for 7-8 years he is finally getting recognition he deserves
Always come back to this BANGER 💥 TOO HARD ‼️
I remember watching Leon as a kid crazy movie. Knucks this was cold bro your in your own lane right now
Fax bruh, although some scenes had a lot of pedo vibes, and were too much alluding to pedophilia. The child actress killed it tho
“Have you heard about Liam?”
“Which Liam?”
“Our Liam, he spent the night at a museum. A bunch of mummies came to life and he had to raise n feed em”
Knucks never disappoints, greetings from France 🇫🇷
BLESSINGS!

Is drill huge there? Cuz looking from the outside it seems so
@@RyuThe3rd yes, drill is a big thing in France, and in Australia too
ta de très bon goûts mon reuf
Knuckles 👊🏽💙
Masterpiece, no words....
Unreal
Can we agree this guy can’t miss🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
💯
this song will neva get old
Best in the UK right now. Wish all the other youngens were this creative with their own sound. Coming from a man 30plus
Such a fire song
Nasty beat, phenomenal sample, and story-full lyrics = Flawless victory
Levels of smoke
Real nice - listening from California
Damn, you deserve to be at the top. Haven't heard rap this skillful in a long while.
Shoutout to Leon Edwards.... very well put together thing this right 'ere
This is just phenomenal...man, so geniune. Knucks never misses
This guy is one of the best current day storytellers in hiphop.
I love the storytelling this man does
Cold ❄️
can't believe knucks made a song about leon the professional, goated movie, great song.
This man here never disappoints. Lyrics and everything come together so well. 🔥
You a world champ now Leon.
Knucks is such a talented artists it feels like a narrative each time he creates art.
I’m so glad I clicked on this video 🤯
Glad he's finally blowing up, I've been a fan since before Breakfast At Tiffany's C:
You never go wrong if u listen to GB rap, hip hop etc. Just something of an Aura .
My name is Leon, and I can confirm this is 100% true
Hip hop head for over 30 , son is 14 knucks is the ONE no man come close to the style - story telling
‘Man’s writing a screenplay - I will reach when ready bro - you are the undercover general - salute
I’ve had this song on repeat all day & I really wish it was like 10min long! Genuinely a masterpiece
11/04/22
I’m so glad I’m not the only one 😅
beautiful track Knucks
i cant believe you arent popular yet, the music is next level!
he is but he hasn't sold out so he won't be getting millions, biggest artists are tiktok rappers rapping about pointless same old sheeeet
Nice!
He’s top 3 for me in UK rn.
🔥🔥🔥
I like these calm little moments before the storm. It reminds me of Beethoven. Can you hear it? It's like when you put your head to the grass and you can hear the growin' and you can hear the insects.
Glad i came across this song this dudes underrated
2:23 When i listened to this on spotify I thought it as Leon shot the police officer, not the other way round
What’s it called???
FIRE
