KNOCKTURNAL "The Sunset Limited" [EP]

 

KNOCKTURNAL has been operating at an interesting intersection in underground rap for years – a producer and MC whose catalog connects the West Coast smooth school of Larry June and Jay Worthy with the harder East Coast weight of Rome Streetz and Griselda-adjacent artists. "The Sunset Limited" is a six-track project that leans toward the western half of that axis: Larry June appears on three cuts including "Hop Out" and "Palm Island," the latter also featuring Jay Worthy. Rome Streetz opens the project on "On My Own Two," establishing the range before the record settles into its predominantly mellow, jazz-inflected register. Larry June's relaxed Californian precision and KNOCKTURNAL's layered production have documented chemistry across prior collaborative work, and this EP reinforces that alignment. At six tracks it functions as a mood piece more than a full statement, but the mood is held consistently.
