When The Knux Go ‘Bang Bang’

Rap's a circus. Every time you hit the 'net, you see artists trying to pull each other’s cards, blaming them for the supposed horrible state of music or crying on camera. So it's kinda refreshing to hear some dudes that actually try to push this rap shit in a new direction. And we don't mean some positive, snooze-inducing rap that is actually just a rehash of decade old Dilla beats. We mean a whole new sound. That's what The Knux are trying to do.

If you haven't heard of these dudes before, they're two classically trained musicians from New Orleans who rap and happen to be brothers. After dropping their first single, “Cappuccino,” a light heartened ode to caramel skinned ladies, a few months back, the duo is done hollering at shorties with their murderous second single “Bang Bang.” They’ve got plans to shoot a video for this one in preparation of their Interscope debut Remind Me In 3 Days…, which drops on October 14. After the jump, listen to “Bang Bang” and let us know what you think.
