Knucks kicks off a new chapter with latest drop 'Cut Knuckles'

UK rap talent Knucks returns to centre stage with 'Cut Knuckles' - his first solo release of the year and the official opener to a brand-new album era. Following his collaborative E.P with K-Trap last year and a standout appearance on 'Summertime' alongside SL and Sainté, the Kilburn-raised artist is back reminding us why he’s one of the most compelling figures in British rap today.

Built around layered production from Emil, Beat Butcha, Swindle, and Knucks himself, 'Cut Knuckles' is as intricate as it is infectious. The beat moves with a cinematic flair, giving Knucks ample room to lace it with razor-sharp lyricism, wry reflections, and that effortlessly cool delivery he’s made his signature.

While details on the upcoming album remain under wraps, 'Cut Knuckles' sets the tone with intent. It feels considered, polished, and quietly bold - a nod to his growth since 'Alpha Place' while pushing forward into new creative territory. There’s a confidence in the record that suggests Knucks is ready to raise the bar once again.

For fans craving depth, storytelling, and boundary-pushing UK rap, 'Cut Knuckles' offers a glimpse of what’s to come. And if this is just the beginning, Knucks’ next chapter is shaping up to be something special.
