Knowledge the Pirate’s New Album ‘The Round Table’ Prod. by Roc Marciano (Album Review)

Published

This is the 6th studio LP from New York emcee Knowledge the Pirate. Discovered by Will Smith’s former bodyguard Charlie Mack, would sign to Interscope Records for a brief amount of time before leaving the game temporarily and re-emerging in the 2010s as a close Roc Marciano affiliate. His full-length debut Flintlock eventually saw the light of day in the summer of 2018, which was followed up with the sophomore effort Black Cesar as well as the debut EP Family Jewels and his 3rd album Hidden Treasures. My favorite in his discography would be the Big Ghost Ltd.-produced Wolves Don’t Eat with Shepherds and having Marci producing The Round Table raised the stacks exponentially coming off of 5 lbs of Pressure.

“Eating Etiquette” was a great drumless single to start the rollout giving the ultimate fine dining experience whereas “Golden Rules” works in a boom bap instrumental with a prominent vocal sample talking about trying to keep his team together. “Takes a 10” has a significantly funkier vibe telling us what it was like for him in the grittiest parts of the City of Dreams leading into “The Outfit” stripping the drums again to talk about keeping the flame on the stove.

“How low you goin’ for me? Go ‘head and make it dip,” he spits. “Body like a Coke bottle, I’m tryna take a sip/Don’t pay them hoes no mind, you don’t owe them haters s**t/I met some bad ones but I swear that you my favorite b***h.”

New Music: Styles P Delivers Raw Street Reflections on “Simulation”

Published

Styles P has long been one of hip-hop’s most respected voices, a Yonkers legend whose career has been built on authenticity and street wisdom. As a core member of The LOX and a solo artist, he’s consistently delivered music that feels realer than Iran’s ten-point plan. Now, he’s back with a new single titled “Simulation.”

The track leans into dark, ominous production, courtesy of yourdrunkuncle (Wow, that’s a sick-ass producer name), with a haunting energy that feels like it belongs in a late-night October drive. Lyrically, “Simulation” delves into P’s past, exploring his experiences on the streets, the lingering effects of trauma, and his transition toward a more peaceful life. There’s a reflective tone here, but it never loses its edge. Styles premiered the new track on the Joe and Jada podcast below:

His delivery remains as commanding as ever. He attacks the beat with controlled aggression, dropping gems like a veteran who’s seen it all and survived to tell it.
