Artist History Raised in the streets of Chicago, IL and Tacoma, WA, Christopher "Knucklehead" Washington remembers his rough childhood in the streets. With each lyrical phrase He spits, He will take you to the grind, to a past of struggles and tears, to the essence of Hip Hop music. With a voice and lyrical flow that is so destinctive and unique, His style alone captivates any listenter. "His voice is so different, and his rhymes are like east coast hip-hop backpacker with his use of metaphors, mixed with west coast gangsta. He's filthy...." ("Paul E Paul", producer for Nas, Christina Aguillera) Every few years a new artist emerges among the masses that not only stands out, but re-defines his/her craft. Knucklehead is not afraid to set new standards. It is apparent within the first few bars of His new single "Last Call" that He is on to something new. Already creating a quiet storm within the industry, His single "Last Call" is on constant rotation throughout D.J. Pools from Vancouver B.C. down to Los Angeles, CA. Getting spins from some of the industry's top D.J.'s such as D.J. Jam (Snoop Dogg), D.J. ColdCut (Mackadocious), and D.J. Ali Baba (The Beat), Knucklehead is quickly gaining recognition. A recent collaboration (Be Your Man) with Canada's Checkmate and Concise (Juno Award nominees, Rap Single of the Year) is getting frequent air play throughout Canada. Previous projects include a successful release with his previous Rap Duo "Closed Custody" (Hard Tymez Records), The "Jacked Up" Soundtrack (Artistan Pictures), and collaborations with a long list of artists including: E40, B Legit, Korn, Too Short, D.J. Quick, 8 Ball, Lil' Flip, Crucial Conflict, The Luniz, Digital Underground, and Jayo Felony. His latest venture is a collabortive effort, All Purpose Productions (APP). Based in Bellingham, WA, the company is operating a state-of-the-art production facility currently working with artists such as Jayo Felony, Craig Smart, W.C., and The West Side Connection. Working side by side with His production partner, Malay, APP is already turning heads in the industry by developing cutting edge production and concepts. With numerous accomplishments already under his belt, Knucklehead still continues to strive after success. As an artist, he is already emerging through mainstream radio and D.J. Pools. Furthermore, his production company (APP) is the engine that is driving his already successful releases, and continues to gain recognition within the industry and the public eye. "He totally got his own thang goin' on, I mean, I love working with real people, and Knucklehead is SO real. His flows are off the hook and he totally got his own style." (Shock G "Humpty Hump" Digital Underground) Knucklehead continues to pound the pavement as his single "Last Call" is heating up clubs and radio stations. With upcoming plans of a new Single Release and live performances, He will continue to work hard for his success, and With God's Will, even greater success in the future.
