What’s next?
Like that’s even a real question: as always new music on the way, 2 new mixtapes on the way, Vital: Don’t Talk About It Be About It mixtape hosted by DJ Research is in local stores and available online- get that if you haven’t already, and look out for the new KOTR merchandise that you[the fans] helped us design and pick.

How it happened: For Y’all
Ever hear a record and wonder… How the hell did they come up with that? Well here’s the answer. We gonna try and give y’all a glimpse into the kotr and the situations that helped us come up with our hits.
For Y’all was one of those records that had to happen. It was crazy Thro and I (nov) were in the lab going over the most recent batch of Unc Mike beats tryinna decide what would be the next to get the work put on it… It was almost immediate that we decided on that one. About 30mins later we had the foundation set. Thro and I had recorded our verses and organized the beat the way we needed it. All we needed to do now was get the rest of the team on it. Vital was over an hour away in Long Island so we uploaded it to the dropbox (dropbox) which allows us to sync sessions from our studio to Vitals, and chief had pneumonia. Literally. So we got the joint back from vital bout a day later and chief came through to see how much work we’d got done like a week later (you know on his General shit. Lol) still barely walking but couldn’t resist the song. The rest is history. But keep that in mind the next time y’all listen to the record and hear chief say “they done pissed me off like I’m too sick to spit sick” he literally was!
Stay Tuned,
Nov

No More Slacking

Working hard versus working smart?
“I am like you; I have no choice but to do both.”
“Q & A of the day” brought to you by exotics, reggie, and newport.
What’s good people yah already know what and who, raw hip-hop and KOTR. Today it’s not the usual suspects, the homie Vital and I are in the lab closing the gap on that patent “knight” sound- Look out for the first Vital/Unc Mike single cooking as I type in a baggie or vial near you soon!
We finally got back to do it again, we told them they wasn’t crazy now we bout’ to show ‘em what real niggas ride for… Shout to Thro, Unc, Nov, and the rest of the Knights in NY- networking with respectable artist: smart work. keeping an unbiased musical ear not forcing tracks and still cranking out hits: hard smart work. rolling all these blizzies: hard work!

If We Don’t Act Now The Cause Is Lost!!!
As times get harder music supplements a lot of the drive that would have been lost to exhaustion. What would you do with out the custom soundtrack that you wake up and brush your teeth to? Drive to? Excersize to? Even work to?
Imagine the dul hell that is your life with out music- Porno with no funk, movies with too many akward moments, some people would have us all subjected to such torment*
I don’t know what’s worse no music or bad music: no one wants to listen to bad music everyone would rather turn the music off- right? There are too many people having to turn off their radios and systems because they can’t get enough KOTR! It’s not right for the artist here at KOTR to stand idly by while the fans suffer but there is one who would rather we hold on to your much needed relief : *NovyNova* “I have to tell the truth we sit here and listen to at least 5 times the amount of music than you[the fan] gets to hear!”
Well I say NO MORE! NO MORE SELFISHNESS- It’s time to spread the love…
The challenge is to get one million request for KOTR to release the full stash-
The Dead line is May 5th-
The PLAN: Spread the word through every social network, sn app, hood, block, crew, fam, friend and fellow fan to take out a brief moment to stand for something by visiting the site and leaving comments casting their votes and/or via your local radio stations by calling in to make your vote public or to request more Knights Of The Round.
The Pay Out: “More fuel to fight than life has to fight you with”… and KOTR T’s and exclusive previews and stuff like that…
So far we have: 1
lol
