V Knuckles has come a long way since his childhood memories in Roxbury, MA. At 12, he moved to Cambridge, MA and rapidly developed his own flow with catchy lyrics and raw style alongside his cousin E'Flash. Together they formed the group N.B.S. (Natural Born Spitters) and the (Verbal) Vets in 1998. His latest release "Longevity" is a testament to his time in the industry as a veteran emcee who has gone through a whole lot. Knuckles and Mass legends REKS and Edo. G combine with super DJ & Producer Phoniks who laces them with a soulful and nostalgia-inducing backdrop made up of sombre strings, warm textures and a soothing vocal sample to boot. That is all that is needed for the emcees to share their respective stories of perseverance and endurance in this unforgiving industry. The visual also taps into the theme of introspection with its use of throwback clips of the emcees in their younger days and splicing them up with the present day. It sure is befitting to their respective legacies and shows viewers that they are here to stay.
The single is off the upcoming album The Next Chapter(Date TBA) entirely produced byPhoniks.
