The exclusive b-side, the "Countdown (Remix)” serves as a musical countdown to Knightstalker’s album (comin’ February 17th), has been produced by none other than German gold and platinum hit maker 7inch.
Knightstalker, born and bred in the south-west of Germany’s capital Berlin, got in touch with hip hop music for the first time in the mid-nineties by hearing the latest from the states on the basketball playgrounds in Berlin. Fascinated by the rhymes, flows and beats of east- and west coast artists alike, he soon fell in love with the art form. A couple of years later, motivated by his people, he decided to "get his grind on” and started penning bars on his own. And although German Rap was and is on a steady rise he made the decision to write his lyrics strictly in English because he feels more comfortable in expressing his self this way. By growing up in the borough of Neukölln, Knightstalker learned at an early age what it means to live in a borough with a high crime and unemployment rate. Besides dealing with those socio-political themes, as well as "grown-up”-topics he adds his own little twist of modern day battle rap and storytelling to the mix!
