I see a lot of weirdos in the comments talking about he’s a “No Name” and this clip not being relevant without Knx putting his production over it. This is Durand Bernarr in his younger years, he has recent projects out and has sang background/done collabs with Erykah Badu, Anderson Paak, Ari Lennox, the list goes on & on. Just because YOU’RE ignorant to him doesn’t make him a no name smh.
Haha I drop a Gem or 2 when I can but everyone should seriously do their HW and check out his body of work. He also has played Song Association a few times on The Terrell Show. Each episode is HILARIOUS Haha and shows his raw talent!
The vocals on this are Godly. This King is just roaming around all casual and laying down the ultimate range. Knxwledge is Power, thank you for blessing us with this cut.
I got asked why I listen to so much Knxwledge by my wife. I told her its because his music allows you to relive musical moments in a way that is so unimaginably new but excitedly familiar. Meaning that Knxwledge is a genius and there's definitely an underlying message in what he selects to sample. It's more than just about beats.
This is the one that I come back to. When Durand Bernarr was singing on that stage to an empty auditorium, it reminds me of the times I was in so much pain and wanted to sing and scream. I never did sing when I was younger. I was afraid to look at my life and afraid to just live and make sounds for the fuck of it. But here, on that stage, he wasn't worried about anybody hearing him or NOT hearing him. I have slowly begun to live a more genuine life, and this video helps me remember that these solitary moments still matter. Thank you for singing, if you're reading this, don't ever be afraid of facing your hardships. You aren't the first or last person to feel alone, and you can get through it. Please, please keep pushing.
This make me feel like I’m a kid driving home from my family’s in the back seat of the car at night time looking out at the city . Very specific but I can’t explain how it just makes sense to me. I love this so much
I remember seeing this almost a decade ago and was in awe with Durand vocals, and seeing this again with Knx's flip gives me those same goosebumps. Good shit!
@YASHUA ben David so what is this without the acapella vocals from Durand Bernarr this is Knx’s channel, obviously we’re all here for his work, but let’s not act like these samples aren’t integral to what he does
@@jonahsomeone1 Shows how people focus on the negative....could have a 1000 likes and 1 dislike people would be like "how could someone dare dislike this"
Found your shit about 2 months ago, deep dived into your discography and it’s soundtracked my summer so thank you. Looking forward to getting stuck into the twitch streams and being a permanent listener to the stuff you put out ❤️
Tears of joy. Tranquility with a simple aroma of ambiance. I found my soul and desiring Destiny with the click of a Knxwledge notification. The power of social media for all the right reasons. Theres still hope
For all you who don’t know this is an old singing video from the singer DURRAND please check him out he’s been singing long before this video and it’s been long since he’s so dope and talented
Fun fact: Badu was so surprised about his improvisation of her song, she decided to sign him as background singer 🥶 Durand got one of the best vocals in the game yall.. better dont sleep on him

Knxwledge finds the best of the best from random corners of the internet and turns it into something even more incredible. I love it. This is y Knxwledge is the goat frfr
confident knx could chop anything into a hit. this literally sounds like some 2000s r&b on mtv 2 or mtv jams type shit. we need this type of soul back in modern artists, but if it never happens at least knx could revamp archived videos as such.
"lo-fi hip hop" I've been seeing this term everywhere for a few years. When I was listening to J. Dilla 20 years ago, we were all talking about Hip Hop, Abstract Hip Hop, or Soulful Hip Hop. Lofi was a pejorative term for lazy music produced by amateurs trying to imitate other artists. Today it is said that lofi is the apogee of musical laziness. Knowing that KNX is one of the successors largely influenced by J. Dilla, I find it sad that you talk about Lofi when it's the same thing that J. Dilla and Nujabes were doing (Sorry for my English, I'm French)

OH MY GOD REALLY?! HOLY SHIT!!!!
You're a hero for dropping this knowledge
Haha I drop a Gem or 2 when I can but everyone should seriously do their HW and check out his body of work. He also has played Song Association a few times on The Terrell Show. Each episode is HILARIOUS Haha and shows his raw talent!
@@Horac3 respect for putting that out there some of these comments are insulting AF
But also I don’t get why people hating when his voice is clearly unbelievable
I love how breathe new life into all this old footage further immortalizing it. It's a beautiful thing to witness.
Youre beautiful to witness ☺
well said
!!
Perfect description of what Knx does👏🏾
Knx a legend 4real
The vocals on this are Godly. This King is just roaming around all casual and laying down the ultimate range. Knxwledge is Power, thank you for blessing us with this cut.
I second that.
thansk Kn X.
wheres the original ??

Can't even call this beatmaking anymore you're straight up curating archives. This is spectacular
Man for real, breathing new life into these older clips, its so good, its so imaginative to do this as well.

@YASHUA ben David whatever weirdo
Vocals took it to another level, no need to lie here.
yeah I completely agree and I'm certain knx is a huge fan of these vocals as well. you have to be if you produce around a sample.

Durand Bernarr x KNX project
I use a lot of vocals too, I know you didn't ask but much love knx
@YASHUA ben David I meant vocals my bad

DEPRESSION TALKING.....MAYBE I WILLLL
Don't underestimate the tech theaters kids.
