How it happened: For Y’all
Jul 3, 2010 music, real talk, session
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

how do you finish
Jun 17, 2010 General, Life, You Decide, music
when you start something you’ve got to finish it, right? well, we started something. we started a whole lot of something. we made music, through music we formed a group, that group formed a label, that label gained a following, that following started a movement and that movement…? that’s the question. how do you finish?
No More Slacking
Jun 4, 2010 General, Life, Mixtapes, music, promotions, real talk, session
This is to all the nigga haterz, rap haterz, black haterz, new haterz, old haterz, KOTR haterz, BBC haterz, bitch haterz, real haterz, super hating ass haterz, and the internet haterz: YAH MOTHERFUCKERS IS SLACKING. STEP YOUR HATE GAME UP PLEASE!
NovyNova has a new single on deck for yah and he’s still grinding for mega bucks but all we hear is the love where did all you hating fucks go?
ThroBac has a mixtape off the dome on call for yah niggas not to mention a studio mixtape which is 98% complete. Still all we hear is “we love you ThroBac!” the shit is sickening!
Unc Mike produces beats for KOTR and still freelances and his beats are fire and the bitches are still saying “Unc Mike can we play with your beard?” Ho’s aint even hating right no more….
Vital has connects all across the U.S. so many fans that the nigga needs two websites! And not one piece of hate-mail from none of yah lazy bastards…
Nigga I got bud 4 sale, CD’s 4 sale that I burned at the studio*, and more love on these streets than “papi” in a drought and all I fucking hear all day all night is “That shit is hot Chief!” and I wonder where did all the haterz go?

All it took was us…
May 22, 2010 General
Honestly I aint have shit, he aint have shit, we had us.
Honestly you got us, we finally got yah, then he and I were replaced with me’s.(You know when everyone is shouting me me me me until it’s time to be held accountable then it’s you you you you)
Honestly every second that someone spends listening to my music is worth ten times what ever I may have invested, sacraficed, or spent.
Honestly I need money to live, and my time is so precious.
Honestly people do real ugly things for a pretty penny.
Honestly it sure as hell wasn’t the money, (that we haven’t seen yet lol), we can’t blame the game…
The end is near and after all that we’d been through; all the doubts shattered and impossibilities proven false, to kill KOTR- Honestly, all it took was us-
“Even Though” is not at the top of my player by accident* -Chief-

Working hard versus working smart?
May 20, 2010 Life
“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!
*Catering to bitch niggas: not part of the job description

If We Don’t Act Now The Cause Is Lost!!!
Apr 21, 2010 General
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
