History.
Kno first became known as a prominent hip hop producer and rapper through the indie hip hop group CunninLynguists, which consists of him, Deacon the Villain and Natti. In 2004, he released his remixed version of Jay-Z's album "The Black Album", called "Kno vs Hov – The White Albulum". Between 2004 and 2006, he released a series of hip hop instrumentals, named "Excrementals."
In 2010, Kno released his debut solo album "Death Is Silent", which was critically acclaimed, with URB Magazine giving the album 4.5/5, saying "Easily one of the top five most satisfying hip-hop albums of the year and possibly one of the year's ten best genre-wide." and HipHopDX giving it a 4/5 saying: "This makes the production on "Death is Silent" that much more poignant as Kno chose to go across the Atlantic rather than across the Mississippi when it came to mining sounds for one of the year’s strongest collection of beats." In 2013, Kno formed a new group, Built to Fade, with vocalists Dane Ferguson, Zoe Wick and Anna Wise (of Sonnymoon). The band released their debut album, "To Dust", on November 12.
