Blu & KNX – DRAGINBREFF

By Jason Chang @hurryupnbuy · On November 27, 2013

Classic Drug References Vol. 1 is a Box Set containing 3 x 7″ records featuring CDR extended family Danny Brown, Ras G, Quelle Chris, Blu, Knxwledge and more. In addition to the 7″ vinyl, the box set contains a zine featuring interviews with A$AP YAMS and Mr. Porter conducted by Sweeney Kovar, writing from Dart Adams, Hex Murder, etc and photography from B+, Ani Yapundzhyan, and Rodrigo Reyes.

Today, enjoy the mp3 stream of “DRAGINBREFF” from Blu & KNX, 1 of 2 songs that feature both Blu & KNX on CDR Vol. 1. Words from Sweeney Kovar below for more backstory:

“I’ve known Knxwledge since before the x. I remember a young dreaded beat-maker working the graveyard shift of a dead-end job in Philly hitting me through his AIM app on his Sidekick. He does what he wants how he wants and on the low, he’s one of the nastiest cats on the beats.

Blu is as skilled as any rapper out today. I often think that folks en masse won’t fully appreciate what he contributes to the art of MCing till he’s through. I met him through an interview back in 2006. Fate and circumstance have crossed our paths several times since.

We were actually roommates for a small stretch of 2009. One day, inside a modest two-story home atop Mount Washitaw in Los Angeles, we were going through the few crate of records I owned. I pulled out the European bootleg to Bilal’s Love For Sale I bought at Poo Bah Records a few months prior.

“Daaamn, G! how much you want for this?”

I didn’t know what to answer. I loved that album too much to price it. Then a lightbulb went off, “I’ll trade you.”

“Trade me what?”

“A song. I’ll give you the record and you let me put out a song of yours.”

Blu laughed, gave me a pound and without a word took the record into his room downstairs next to the garage.”

– Sweeney
