We start this story with how Knuckles McGee was introduced to music by his father, a well-known guitarist within the community of Cookeville, TN. When coming from nothing, McGee learned to channel his life frustration into and through his music. He started making music at the age of eight; fine tuning his skills as a singer and guitarist, performing in rock bands, and winning several rap battles. McGee represents the conflict within him, and describes his music as a testimonial to his life and the things he’s seen. The self-titled 8-track album has an alternative hip-hop sound that showcases his lyrical skills, distrust of authority, and musical inspirations from such artist like Big L, Eminem (The Slim Shady Eminem), and Method Man. “Ol’ Country Road” is by far a favorite off the project. The visuals the words paint images of dirt roads in Tennessee, struggling through the feeling of love lost; it’s a song that a people will feel. The alternative blend of Knuckles McGee is worth checking out.
