Yes! I’ve been waiting for my twin to do something like this for quite sometime. Hands down, Kno is one of my favorite producers doing it. Check the write up provided by QN5 and APOS Music below, then hit the jump for the tracklist of the CunninLynguists member’s solo debut (dropping October 12th).
After amassing only 4 verses over the CunninLynguists’ last four releases, the Atlanta-based artist is set to step out from behind the boards on Death Is Silent, both producing the entirety of the record and handling the majority of the vocals. The record’s concept involves the inevitability of death and its impact on love, life, family and friends. The artwork was realized by Argentinian visual artist Diego Fernandez.
Kno will still see plenty of activity on the production side of things, as the next 6 months will see the release of Oneirology, CunninLynguists’ newest studio album in 3 years, Chico and The Man, the long-awaited concept album with fellow QN5 Music artist and longtime friend Tonedeff as well as MacheteVision, a joint project with emcee Marq Spekt.
While all of these releases will be produced entirely by Kno, his production will also be featured on upcoming projects by Freddie Gibbs, 9th Wonder signee Tom Hardy as well as the album Niggaz With Latitude, a group project from CL’s own Deacon The Villain and Sheisty Khrist.

damn! no release date??
^^^^ october 12, according to official site. preorders september 3rd
any update on CATM? like a release date at least?
I wish this album only featured his production, not his verses. He’s just not a good MC. I’d definitely be more excited if this featured various artists over Kno beats.
looks emo
Good shit.
And the Art is on point

^^^^^^^^word
^^Instrumentals will be released, and there will be lots of guests I think.
This shit is gonna be amazing.
Wasn’t he doing something with grieves too?
This will be amazing, no doubt.
Supporting this project will pay off for all
kno is a very under-appreciated and under-used rapper. also i cant wait for Natti’s solo record, because Natti has been one of the best rappers of the past 5 years, and still no one knows his name. all ppl talk about is kno’s beats when they hear a CL album (rightfully so) but Natti is one of the most lyrical dudes doing it right now, and Deacon has been great since 2001. these guys deserve some shine, and hopefully these new records will do it.
and kno said that grieves and him are still going to do their collaborative album after grieves release his RSE debut, it’s going to be the illmatic of emo rap or Ematic. haha
Seriously cant wait! This and Chico and the Man are my most anticipated albums of the year
Kno’s beats are just pure awesome and he is very nice on the mic (Things i Dream, Georgia, Brain Cell)
Cant wait
And that artwork is the shit
Can’t wait!
Should be greatness! People that thinks Kno is a weak MCs can’t have listened very closely to his verses since APOS..
Kno = best producer in the game.
Any links to pre cop??
smh @ yall complainin a bout his flow and lyrics-don’t yall know KNO better than that? this has GOT TO BE a double cd with an instrumental cd included —-DEFINITELY coppin this shit
I’ll prolly bump the beats before I even listen to his cd cuz I love writin to KNO beats

I hope that this album be amazing !!
