In this episode, I have the honor of sitting down with NYC artist Knowitall NYC and producer BOP, two pivotal voices in today’s underground hip-hop renaissance. We chop it up about everything from the state of hip-hop post-COVID to their powerful new album, Welfare Island.🔥 We kick things off with some Knicks talk (of course) before diving deep into what many are calling a full-blown art revolution in hip-hop. We touch on ageism fading in the genre, the resurgence of physical media like vinyl and cassettes, and the rise of the independent artist.🎧 We explore the creative process behind Welfare Island, a project rooted in Queens and layered with gritty, soul-infused production and raw storytelling. BOP breaks down his intricate, sample-based approach, and Knowitall shares personal stories behind the lyrics—especially on tracks like “Pray for Queens,” where he opens up about family and life in NYC.🏝️ The title Welfare Island references Roosevelt Island’s original name, and the album itself serves as a meditation on struggle, distance from opportunity, and the dualities of life in Queens. From Jamaica Ave to the borough’s deeper corners, this project captures both mellow reflections and rugged realities.🎤 We also discuss:The dynamic between Knowitall & BOP in the studioHow this album compares to past projects like Hand Painted RealitiesLyricism as both poetry and truthThe broader impact of Welfare Island on underground hip-hop👀 Whether you're a hip-hop head, vinyl collector, or someone navigating the NYC grind, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.🎧 Available now on YouTube, Spotify, and all major platforms.#UndergroundHipHop #WelfareIsland #KnowitallNYC #BOP #QueensNYC #HipHopRenaissance #IndieHipHop #NYCHipHop #HipHopInterview #RooseveltIsland
