Omg, I didn't know the verse in Fentanyl was actually about a real person Let alone you actually family. That song just went from Great to off the charts. I'm so sorry to hear that bro. As somebody from Baltimore which is considered the HEROIN CAPITAL OF THE US I know how horrible it can be. I have a Cousin who went missing & for 2 straight weeks we looked & the Baltimore City police did nothing because they said Since she is an addict & that she prostitutes for $ that she most likely is on a Bender.... There was a dealer who she Slept with from Time to Time & it turns out that he got her pregnant & due to her being an Addict of Heroin for 5yrs she thought she could blackmail the dealer into free Heroin so she made the mistake of telling him "Give me an 8ball or I'm telling your wife, Well he told her its a Deal so she met him & he gave her 1gram & told her "I got the rest later for you" so she went to an abandoned factory to do the Heroin & she wasn't given the normal batch, he gave her no heroin but 100% Fentanyl & the friend of his was the witness & testified that the dealer told my cousin "You gotta do more than normal because its super WEAK, So she Sniffed 0.3 Grams (& we know that because of the other addict friend of hers. Who seen her ODing & couldn't do anything because the dealer too her Narcain out of my cousin bookbag. They had no cell phone & they were on the 8th floor of a BALTIMORE abandoned factory.... The "Friend" seen her pass away & she grabbed my cousin's scale & took 0.7 of what was left & because she seen how strong it was she did just a tiny amount, not even 0.1g . Some kids 2weeks later playing in the building found her. The cops seen it as just a OD CASE CLOSED until the dealers friend was arrested on alot of charges & he told the detectives "What if I give you a murder"? They became interested obviously but when he gave my cousin name they said verbatim & I know because it was recorded. They said "Why would we care about some Junkie C*M DUMPSTER who overdosed?... He told them the whole story & found the person with my cousin when she OD'd & told them everything. My cousin had "CUSTOM MADE HEROIN BAGS" on her & the only person with those bags was the guy who gave my cousin 100% uncut fentanyl. A BUY & BUST was conducted on 3 different days & each time he had the same bags. They made the Arrest for Murder so we truly seen it as a Slam Dunk Guilty verdict but he was found NOT GUILTY on all charges. The Jury said we couldn't prove that it was drugs from defendant that killed her, because the other addict used alot of the drugs that my cousin had died from. They just said we can't 100% say he killed her using these drugs exactly....... So my cousin got no justice & he walked Away Scott free . We are in the midst of trying to pass a Bill to hold dealer's responsible for OD's but it was shot down because the Republicans of Maryland said "If a person goes & buys a GLOCK & Sh00ts themselves to unalive themselves then the State could go hold GLOCK RESPONSIBLE for then choosing to UNALIVE THEMSELVES" ...... We came back & said "Glock wouldn't be responsible for that scenario but giving a person pure fentanyl is like if Glock sold a person a Gun & didn't tell them the gun will explode when you shoot it"........... Anyway nothing passed & he walked free.
@@KnoxHill, I just subscribed to your channel. Two years, and you went through SO much, yet you STILL kept grinding. You just earned yourself a NEW subscriber, brother. Mad respect. 🫡🫡🫡🫡
The older I get, the more I realise that the journey of self discovery lasts a lifetime. I also see us as disco balls, with every little mirror a tiny different facet of our personality that reflects the same things differently. It's perfectly possible to be an extrovert introvert, a sports playing musical artist, a humble genius. Cognitive dissonance, once recognised, can be challenging and fun. Like you, our family has been hit hard by loss this year. There is some comfort in the thought that grief is love with nowhere to go. To love and be loved is a wonderful thing. You are awesome. I bet your mum, wife, daughters and the rest of your tribe are uplifted by you and how you have battled your way to success and maintained your integrity. As a community, you know we've all got you mate. 💪🤘😻
Knox - Please don't ever think you have to be one thing. You don't. It's not about "picking a lane", it's about utilising every available opportunity. Those who live the most full and interesting lives are those who explore every avenue available to them - every part of themselves, every skill they can hone. Being an athlete will have taught you skills that you use to this day, just as your art was enhanced by your decision to share both your mental health and grief journeys (a decision that I firmly believe will have helped others as they navigated their own struggles). Looking forward to hearing the album. Congratulations to you! And, as a mother, I have no doubt that your success in getting this album out, despite everything that has been thrown at you, will have given your own mum a much-needed boost and made her very proud of you. Love to you and your family, from me and mine 💕🇬🇧
Amen I am 43 and I swear the world was a little bit more open-minded in the late 90s and early 2000s. People weren’t trying to be a walking stereotype and easily fit into these boxes where you can describe everything about them based off what music you heard them listening to at a certain time. I don’t try not to fit into a box and I don’t make it a point to not to either. I think too many people today have this mentality whether it’s politics or music that if they like one type of music, they need to talk this way and dress this way or whatever. Too many dating apps when you scroll through it looks like people are just trying to be a mascot for their favorite political party. We would’ve never have gotten artist like Korn or Limp Bizkit or Body Count or P.O.D. or Tech N9ne if everybody “ stayed in their lane” . I know there are still artists out there that do experiment with different styles and things but not very many on the main stream. Too many people aren’t opening up their minds to new things when it comes to the world of entertainment like music or even try new hobbies. It’s like everyone’s got a rule for their personality now.
@@bdr113080so true and regarding mainstream music, which I only listen to when in the car, is so bland and same same. I’m really going to have to learn how to connect my phone to the car so I can listen to some real music!
Trust me brother, I’m almost 42 now, and i still don’t know the F*** who I am. We all dedicate our life to figure out who we are, what do we value in life. It makes who we are today.
one thing my friend said to me that stuck is: "its our parents' first time living life too" we have this idea that people older than us, have everything figured out/know everything. there is something comforting in knowing that people i look up to, like knox, are still figuring things out.. well said! cant wait to listen to the new album, congrats!
Rich Mullins said something along the lines of believing the reason we cry at funerals is that here was s person that God spoke through uniquely to us and we just didn't pay enough attention at the time. I've felt that way a few times the past several years for sure. All love and respect for you, Knox, our home and family to you and yours. Thank you for your care and honesty. Go hug those kids til they do something silly!
Confusion seems to be the natural state of a human being. How we still manage to build and create through the chaos is a wonder and a testament to humanity's resilience, creativity and sheer stubbornness. Keep going, but don't forget to rest and smell the flowers 😘
I’m not first, but let me add my voice to giving you kudos. I KNOW the work that goes into a TH-cam channel. I don’t know making music, but I know making art, and it takes time. I know what it is raising a family (and destroying it, too). You’re a great human, Knox. Not perfect, but anyone who expects perfection is an asshole. I hope success continues finding its way to you. Congratulations on your constant hard work sir.
You've been through alot but that is what life is about the yin and yang. But that is what living as a human being is. You are a fun and charismatic man so continue. I can promise you if everyone asked who they were, most people couldn't tell you who they are. I learned to stare in a mirror to find myseslf but the longer you stare into y our own eyes, the more empty it seems we are. That was when I decided to learn how to meditate and put myself in the real spiritual self that does nothing more then watch what your earthly self is doing. Keep producing and stay balanced. You are doing great as an independent artist.
I'm just blown away Knox! This is an incredible collection of music from you! Definitely your best album project to date, narrowly beating out Black List, which I also love. I was incredibly impressed with this project, and I'm super excited to try and get it on CD. Made me laugh, made me think, made me feel. I ranked the tracks, which was really hard to do, because they are all just so fire. I Need a Minute just speaks to my soul. Each one of these tracks was fun and brought something new. And was incredibly impressive! Chaos Theory 2 will go down as a classic in my book; I'm already on my third lesson. It's great stuff! Thank you for your hardwork! 1. I Need a Minute 2. The Snap 3. Wow 4. My Time 5. Imagine 6. Bad Guy 7. On to the Next One 8. Nightmares 9. Not 4 Sale 10. Wastelands 11. The Internet 12. Family Curse 13. Love is Blind 14. Fentanyl 15. Best of Myself 16. Drive Thru 17. The Pot & the Kettle 18. Survivor’s Guilt
I understand how you feel. I lost my Mom, brother, sister in-law and friend in 5 months. It’s heartbreaking. So glad you have music as an outlet and have been gracious enough to share it with others for their outlets.
You're great, kiddo! Your album is going to be sent to Ireland. My son is also a musician who had lots of family issues. I'm very grateful for your tenacity. Long live and prosper!
I honestly cannot remember if I dropped this on the fentanyl video so I wanted to say it again. I was not sure what to expect when I listened to fentanyl and have enjoyed some of your other work as well as Rens work. That song was 1 million percent something I did not know I NEEDED! And one of the better colabs I have heard in years. Thank you so much.
It really is just AWESOME to watch you become YOU 🌹 Thank you for sharing so much of yourself and I’m definitely on my way now to go listen to your album 🌹
I think the idea of people having an "identity" is the same thing as being put in a box with a label. Just be as a verb rather than being a noun (a defined entity). You don't need an identity. Keep being the present participle and doing what feels right to you at the time. This perspective helps me to better handle loss because I realize that perhaps those people, things, events (whatever noun labels we put on them) are not really gone. Maybe it's just continuously being in less identifiable ways. Why limit yourself with identity?❤🩹 Congrats on the new album! 👏
Congratulations and hey it's like the saying goes "you can't rush art" Besides YOU always come first if you need breaks take them You need to spend time with the family then do it We always got you ❤
Congratulations on your album, Knox. You’ve been through a rollercoaster emotionally. Grief is one of the most powerful things we have to cope with as humans. You are right to refuse to be pigeonholed. It’s hard to be an independent artist. It’s right to prioritize what matters most to you; your family, your art, your music and this channel. You will find the balance that works for you.
Fan Power? More like FAM Power! I found you while chasing Hi Ren reactions about a year ago and I never left. It truly feels like being part of a family... Thank you for being brave enough to share your soul. People crave what is real and you give us that in bar form! Sooo as you often say "Today", as a Proud supporter, I'll be buying your signed CD. 😊 Much love ❤️ Sue
@suesee4855 Same! That's how I too found Knox. His growing friendship with Ren has been a beautiful thing to witness, they are both crazy talented. It's not my genre of music but I'll always listen to Knox and support him, and Ren just blows me away. It's a lovely community too, have yourself a great weekend! ☺️✌
Crazy to think that over the last 4 years I've gotten to watch your growth as an artist and content creator, going from a relatively small channel, to now being a pillar of the community in a lot of ways. Keep it up Knox and I hope one day I'll get the chance to work with you on a track. 💜💜💜
Man, you've worked real hard for this and you've got your priorities 100% straight on the family front. The confusion you feel is a beautiful confusion. It shines through the variety you've expressed in this work. Embracing all parts of yourself can be very difficult in a world full of stereotypes and pigeon-holes. It's special to share some of your personal struggles and journey in your tracks and this creates a connection that is so much more meaningful. I hope the album achieves the success it deserves and look forward to more great work from you. Keep jumping those lanes, we love it ! PS - the bonus tracks are great - really dig the freestyle, it's been on loop today 🤩
I've been a subscriber to your channel for 3years! You've done all the hard work, during hard times & the LOVE INDEPENDENT MUSIC for YOU has FINALLY COME THROUGH! I'm SO PROUD of YOU,A BEAUTIFUL THING to SEE!!!♥️🇺🇲🇲🇽🎼⚖️💯
Absolutely loving the album knox. Sorry you have been through so much recently, but just know that a rising tide lifts all ships hun, take care and hang in there ❤❤
i would like to extend my sincerest condolences on the passing of your loved ones. My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. Additionally, i would congrats you on your upcoming album release. This achievement is a testament to your talent and perseverance. Wishing you strenght and success in the days ahead. Love you Bro! 👍
congrats on your album! sorry to hear about the recent storms of your journey. stay well, remember to take care of you, too. keep weathering, because we'll keep supporting you. blessings to you & your fam. ✌️❤️🎶
I will give you the sentence my friend gave me at the passing of my parents and when a lot of other things happened. What’s most important is how your children see how you cope through things and how you can remain present.
Congrats bro, the catharsis you can have knowing you put it all into the album is needed. Rest your brain for a while now. If REN’s journey tells us anything is balance and making time to be still. Balance is everything. Again congratulations Knox. 💕
Knox, your peeps love and support you! I think I've said in comments--You (and Ren) have changed my mind on rap. I used to think 'thug bullshit' but here YOU are, showing me this...idealistic passion, this deep emotion united with the dreams of a better world and a better humanity. It's like you have a spark inside that wants to grow and learn and be MORE and I just f'n LOVE THAT as a fellow idealistic soul. You are HONEST. You are raw, you show the world your truth and your soul through your music, and that is powerful because words are the most powerful thing in existence. Words have hurt me, and helped me, FAR more than anything physical. Your words have POWER man! Keep it up, we love it!
Thing is when my mom went I learned that the musts continue on after death but all the good stuff , all the connection in this life stops , the fun, the learning in this life so key is be present. And I love seeing you be present.
Im 50, this Next January will make 5 years since my 1st born son committed suicide. 4 months later my youngest daughter was killed in a solo car accident. Between those 4 months I lost 5 life long, close friends, each of whom I knew ar least 25 years ... 19 years ago I also lost a child in infancy to sids. Im glad you have an outlet like music to help you cope and keep on pushing through. Keep doing what you do brother. You are the best at breakdowns. If I want to see what I missed in a song.... You are who I go to. And to anyone out there dealing with a situation you think may be more than you can handle, find help. Someone out there can and will help. Listen to the people you love. You may be missing clues that someone you love needs help.
I came to your channel through your REN reactions but I stay because you have taught me so much about a genre of music that I never gave the time of day….I have learned so much from you, and my appreciation has spread to other artists, including your music. Your intellect, compassion, joyful love of music, love for your family, your vulnerability all have led me to have deep respect for both you and categories of music that I probably would never have explored were it not for you and REN. For that I thank you…
Crazy to see how far you have come brother, from the day I met you 4 years ago ( The bartender in your song - Driving in the Dark ) to seeing you now, you are killing it and excited to see the future
Congratulations Knox. I hope your mom gets better. I hope your wife is well. I will pray for your mom. As a 28 year cancer fighter/survivor, you can learn a lot from your toughest struggles and you can learn how to be your best self. Be the best you can be and how to fight the toughest battles. It can make you the strongest both physically and mentally. I wish the best for you and your family. I hope your new album does great Brother.
You go boi! Best of luck to all of your successes Knox. So that you know, from the outside you are considered elite of those who are in the know when it comes to the break down. That's the word on the street - around the water cooler (keyboard loiterers anyway) which is no small thing. I have heard praise for you from everyone from Ren to Dotta, from positive reactors to haters, from the real to the posers, form the popular to the loners. I am not to familiar with your rap game yet, but finding that so many consider you at the top of the game in critiquing others, I am looking forward to diving in. Big ups to you and yours. From what I've seen so far it looks like you got what it takes to get it done. Now go get it!!!
Congratulations knoxhill I'm about to listen to chaos theory 2 I'm at work but I'm going to listen to it in my earbuds I love watching a lot of TH-cam reactors but you're one of my top favorites and very skilled with the pen literally just have you like this comment or even say something on it would be amazing lol best wishes hope the album does what your expecting about to listen to it now
Stay strong man, we all go through tough times. Always remember and pay respect to the loved ones who aren't here anymore, in whatever way you feel is the best ✊✌
I really do agree! For me, music is almost an extension of myself. It brings out these feelings that hid deep inside me, and it motivates me to be what matches with the music I hear, whether it be angry, sad, or inspired. I struggle with realizing how I feel as I've forcible acknowledged nothing of what I felt. Hearing about a new album you've spent two years on perfecting after watching you catch and understand every bar, entendre, word play, technical and rhyme from the worlds greatest rapper is such a testimony to the skill of your own. Time plus knowledge has always made masterpieces, which is why I am so excited to hear about this. I'm going to comment again after listening, so chao. I hope your stars align in your life so you can live as freely as possible.
Strength and humbleness are learned through all the stuff we go through. Just remember that you are also highly appreciated by a lot of people, and let that lift you up when you're down.
Knox, as someone who constantly struggles with depression and my own sense of identity in this world, I just want to say how much love and appreciation I have for you and what you do. As a fellow musician, your insights on hip hop music have opened me up to new horizons, I don't know how I would've discovered Yellawolf or Royce 59 otherwise. Anyway, congratulations on the album, all love and mental stability to you and yours.
Just ordered my collectors edition album!! I'm so excited! Not that I have a CD player, lol, I'll have to listen to the digital one! But I got it to sit it on my collectibles shelves, next to my Sick Boi albums! I heard of Ren at about the same time you did, so you were the first reaction I ever watched. Like of anything! So I was new to Ren, new to you, and new to reactions! That was an emotional time! First I'm like Who is this amazing musician? Then, Who is this dude that knows EVERYTHING about freaking EVERYTHING?? Then, omg, He's a musician too?!?! Then, I watched you react to the entire Hamilton soundtrack. Dude, I know you don't know me, but you have been a huge part of my life the past 22 months. I knew NOTHING about rap, but you have helped me gain a huge appreciation for something I might never have given a chance. So thank you, Knox. From the heart!! You and Ren are getting center stage on my shelves. 💜💜💜
Congratulations. Sorry for all your losses that’s rough. But happy to could use your music . I love independent music that keeps the music pure. You are a great and smart person too. Don’t ever forget that. ❤
Congrats brother, I found your channel through your Hi Ren reaction and checked out your music to give a little extra support because I loved your breakdowns and you turned me into a fan. Much love and all the best.
Knox happy you’ve finished your album bro. I knew you suffered a lot of loss in the last few years and seeing you say you “I never made it back in time to say goodbye to your grandfather” can tell that really cuts you deep, try not to let it. Your grandfather would have known how important and loved he was from and to you, he would of been the same generation as my grandfather and if he knew you were out there making music and providing for your family, then he would of passed a proud man of the man you were and the man your becoming. Never change Knox, stay humble, true to yourself and your beliefs because when fame fades you don’t want the real you to fade with it, and remember a career doesn’t make you who you are no matter if it’s football or music….from your story I know how you are; your a husband, a father and a friend to many…outside of that the rest doesn’t matter bro it’s just pass times that make us temperamental happy
Congratulations Knox and Family!!!!! You deserve it, and in my view their support counts for more. Sending many Healing, Health, Peace, Strength, Success blessings your way 💕💙🌃🌌🌠🎇🎶🎶 it's not split personalities, it's called crowding and needing space to breathe. I have Bipolar disorder, I know what extreme highs and extreme lows are. You aren't boxable, any more than AR, Ren, BP. If you have to do 3-4 days a week, do that instead of daily. You gotta breathe, Knox! Music in general has saved me many times, it's a powerful tool.
Love how you have the courage to share, lots of people don't learn these lessons until later in life - I'm 60 and I'm still wondering who I'm gonna be when I grow up - because I'm still growing... Also, keep working those levels to your work - don't dumb anything down
Congrats, Knox! So proud of you and how far you've come, and not just as an artist. You have been going through it fr, and when the dust settles, you are always standing there with your ethical framework -- your moral compass -- and your sense of humor intact. Your strength and focus and willingness to have and express emotions are inspiring. And you have busted out of any boxes anybody might want to try to put you in over the last couple of years and just leveled up like crazy. I can't wait to listen to your new album.
Congratulations man, I only found your channel a couple months back with the Kendrick Lamar and Drake stuff but your content is solid and your music is great!!! Be proud of yourself and all of your accomplishments. Here's to what is going to be a classic album I'm sure.
It's been a hell of a ride, being able to get through life, basic life, it's harder. I'm grateful for where I've gotten it's been a fight every day, being focused on life preservation, add more Rocks to the basket, it's hard not throwing them. Beautiful story
We love you Knox. I am so honoured and humbled to be a fan of a man who truly cares about others, but remember to take care of yourself. You're an amazing dad, an amazing husband, an amazing artist. I've learned so much from you about music and how it reflects life that I now listen to music as though it were a poem or a story and I listen so deeply that music now feels like a good book instead of just something to listen to. I am so happy and proud of you for getting out Chaos Theory 2. You deserve all the recognition and excitement and accolades for being such a true human being. We love you. Keep going brother. Much love and peace to you forever and always. ^^
Bro I feel you pain, just know we are spiritual beings having a human experience on earth school to prepare us for our true life when we leave our human vessel and return to true reality. Over the time iv been watching and listening to your progression and work ethic is second to none ,well done brother
Been a fan of yours since late 2019, seeing the channel blow up has been amazing and seeing your growth has been amazing and I can't wait to listen to the album. And I sincerely apologize for all the hardship you've gone thru the past year it's heartbreaking. Just remember God gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers ❤
I've listened to the album soo many times now, every single track is FIRE! 🔥🔥🔥 I'm so sorry for all that you've been going through, but please know we're all behind you, we love and support you and we're here for you. Also, attention Renegades, BUY THE DELUXE EDITION!!! Just... just trust me on this, you don't wanna miss it.
Bro, I am so proud of you and how far you have come over the years. Thank you for always being you and being real. I am looking forward to listening to Chaos Theory 2 and seeing where it's gonna take you. CONGRATS KNOX!! I am sure that you have knocked this out of the park! Much love to PG CO! iykyk
We have been losing too many people this year, 2024 definitely sucks. I lost my Dad, next Tuesday will be a month since he has passed. There has been way too much grief in 2024, I really hope 2025 is a better year. I'm sorry for everything you have gone through this year Knox, grief is not easy at all. I pray for you and your family for these hard times. On a side note, I listened to the entire album. I loved Chaos Theory and Butterfly Effect. Chaos Theory 2 did not disappoint man, you did your thing! Thank you again for expanding my music collection. Stay safe and take everyday one day at a time bro, us fans always got your back. Keep your head up, and I always look forward to your content!
Im so proud of you not only for getting through all the shit you have been through and being there for your family when things get rough but for putting it into your art and sharing your story. You have helped so many people, me included. When im having bad days I have seen some of your videos and they have either cheered me up or gave me some inspiration to start feeling better and get up. You deserve all the success and I hope you get it. I absolutely love the album. I have only listened once but im blown away.
Thank you for all the years of support and love 🙏 Download/stream my new album on all platforms now!! hypeddit.com/knoxhill/chaostheory2
Be proud of yourself mate, you're strong and resilient, humble and talented. All good energy for you 👊

I also see us as disco balls, with every little mirror a tiny different facet of our personality that reflects the same things differently.
It's perfectly possible to be an extrovert introvert, a sports playing musical artist, a humble genius. Cognitive dissonance, once recognised, can be challenging and fun.

You are awesome. I bet your mum, wife, daughters and the rest of your tribe are uplifted by you and how you have battled your way to success and maintained your integrity. As a community, you know we've all got you mate. 💪🤘😻

Being an athlete will have taught you skills that you use to this day, just as your art was enhanced by your decision to share both your mental health and grief journeys (a decision that I firmly believe will have helped others as they navigated their own struggles).
Looking forward to hearing the album. Congratulations to you! And, as a mother, I have no doubt that your success in getting this album out, despite everything that has been thrown at you, will have given your own mum a much-needed boost and made her very proud of you.
Love to you and your family, from me and mine 💕🇬🇧
Amen I am 43 and I swear the world was a little bit more open-minded in the late 90s and early 2000s. People weren’t trying to be a walking stereotype and easily fit into these boxes where you can describe everything about them based off what music you heard them listening to at a certain time. I don’t try not to fit into a box and I don’t make it a point to not to either. I think too many people today have this mentality whether it’s politics or music that if they like one type of music, they need to talk this way and dress this way or whatever. Too many dating apps when you scroll through it looks like people are just trying to be a mascot for their favorite political party.
We would’ve never have gotten artist like Korn or Limp Bizkit or Body Count or P.O.D. or Tech N9ne if everybody “ stayed in their lane” . I know there are still artists out there that do experiment with different styles and things but not very many on the main stream. Too many people aren’t opening up their minds to new things when it comes to the world of entertainment like music or even try new hobbies. It’s like everyone’s got a rule for their personality now.
@@bdr113080so true and regarding mainstream music, which I only listen to when in the car, is so bland and same same. I’m really going to have to learn how to connect my phone to the car so I can listen to some real music!
Trust me brother, I’m almost 42 now, and i still don’t know the F*** who I am. We all dedicate our life to figure out who we are, what do we value in life. It makes who we are today.
Precisely, I say to people whenever it comes up “I’m 57yo and I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up!”
I’m fiftty two and began skateboarding last year, i mean, it's never late when joy arrives
@@RYOkEkEN that’s so cool. 😎
If you surrender to God he'll show you your future.
46 and starting to find myself thanks to music
one thing my friend said to me that stuck is: "its our parents' first time living life too"
we have this idea that people older than us, have everything figured out/know everything. there is something comforting in knowing that people i look up to, like knox, are still figuring things out.. well said!
cant wait to listen to the new album, congrats!
Rich Mullins said something along the lines of believing the reason we cry at funerals is that here was s person that God spoke through uniquely to us and we just didn't pay enough attention at the time.
I've felt that way a few times the past several years for sure.
All love and respect for you, Knox, our home and family to you and yours. Thank you for your care and honesty. Go hug those kids til they do something silly!
I thought this video was about
" IT FINALLY HAPPENED " that eminem became a grandfather 😂😂😂
At 70 I am still learning more about myself people like you teach us good things thanks dude keep being you Knox thanks bro
**crying here** .. love you and Ren ... You both Alchemize everything you touch. 🕯️
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer more compassionate man. Such a loving person.
Congratulations, from the darkest shadows come the light.
Confusion seems to be the natural state of a human being. How we still manage to build and create through the chaos is a wonder and a testament to humanity's resilience, creativity and sheer stubbornness. Keep going, but don't forget to rest and smell the flowers 😘
I’m not first, but let me add my voice to giving you kudos. I KNOW the work that goes into a TH-cam channel. I don’t know making music, but I know making art, and it takes time. I know what it is raising a family (and destroying it, too). You’re a great human, Knox. Not perfect, but anyone who expects perfection is an asshole. I hope success continues finding its way to you. Congratulations on your constant hard work sir.
You've been through alot but that is what life is about the yin and yang. But that is what living as a human being is. You are a fun and charismatic man so continue. I can promise you if everyone asked who they were, most people couldn't tell you who they are. I learned to stare in a mirror to find myseslf but the longer you stare into y our own eyes, the more empty it seems we are. That was when I decided to learn how to meditate and put myself in the real spiritual self that does nothing more then watch what your earthly self is doing. Keep producing and stay balanced. You are doing great as an independent artist.
Congrats on everything Knox, And Rest in Peace to everybody in you're family. You a good man bro, You deserve more 4 real.
Blessing's ~1~
I'm just blown away Knox! This is an incredible collection of music from you! Definitely your best album project to date, narrowly beating out Black List, which I also love. I was incredibly impressed with this project, and I'm super excited to try and get it on CD. Made me laugh, made me think, made me feel. I ranked the tracks, which was really hard to do, because they are all just so fire. I Need a Minute just speaks to my soul. Each one of these tracks was fun and brought something new. And was incredibly impressive! Chaos Theory 2 will go down as a classic in my book; I'm already on my third lesson. It's great stuff! Thank you for your hardwork!

I understand how you feel. I lost my Mom, brother, sister in-law and friend in 5 months. It’s heartbreaking. So glad you have music as an outlet and have been gracious enough to share it with others for their outlets.
🙏🏽♥️🕊️
damn you lost 4 close people all in 5 months ??!! that's horrible, so sorry
💔
I received my album today. And wow, what a brilliant album, a fantastic piece of art!!!! Thanks for this addition to the music world...
You're great, kiddo! Your album is going to be sent to Ireland. My son is also a musician who had lots of family issues. I'm very grateful for your tenacity. Long live and prosper!
I honestly cannot remember if I dropped this on the fentanyl video so I wanted to say it again. I was not sure what to expect when I listened to fentanyl and have enjoyed some of your other work as well as Rens work. That song was 1 million percent something I did not know I NEEDED! And one of the better colabs I have heard in years. Thank you so much.
It really is just AWESOME to watch you become YOU 🌹 Thank you for sharing so much of yourself and I’m definitely on my way now to go listen to your album 🌹
Congratulations bro know the albums going to be absolute fire
Much love Knox!! You are one of the kindness ❤warmest men I know. And You and Ren are friends!!
I think the idea of people having an "identity" is the same thing as being put in a box with a label. Just be as a verb rather than being a noun (a defined entity). You don't need an identity. Keep being the present participle and doing what feels right to you at the time. This perspective helps me to better handle loss because I realize that perhaps those people, things, events (whatever noun labels we put on them) are not really gone. Maybe it's just continuously being in less identifiable ways. Why limit yourself with identity?❤🩹
Congrats on the new album! 👏
Congratulations and hey it's like the saying goes "you can't rush art"
Besides YOU always come first if you need breaks take them
You need to spend time with the family then do it
We always got you ❤
Hope everything is going well man with you’re family sending my prayers just know that you have a great community behind you.
Congratulations on your album, Knox. You’ve been through a rollercoaster emotionally. Grief is one of the most powerful things we have to cope with as humans. You are right to refuse to be pigeonholed. It’s hard to be an independent artist. It’s right to prioritize what matters most to you; your family, your art, your music and this channel. You will find the balance that works for you.
Fan Power? More like FAM Power!
I found you while chasing Hi Ren reactions about a year ago and I never left. It truly feels like being part of a family...
Thank you for being brave enough to share your soul. People crave what is real and you give us that in bar form! Sooo as you often say "Today", as a Proud supporter, I'll be buying your signed CD. 😊
Much love ❤️ Sue
@suesee4855
Same! That's how I too found Knox. His growing friendship with Ren has been a beautiful thing to witness, they are both crazy talented. It's not my genre of music but I'll always listen to Knox and support him, and Ren just blows me away. It's a lovely community too, have yourself a great weekend! ☺️✌
FAM power-I like that!!!😊😊😊
Crazy to think that over the last 4 years I've gotten to watch your growth as an artist and content creator, going from a relatively small channel, to now being a pillar of the community in a lot of ways. Keep it up Knox and I hope one day I'll get the chance to work with you on a track. 💜💜💜
Man, you've worked real hard for this and you've got your priorities 100% straight on the family front. The confusion you feel is a beautiful confusion. It shines through the variety you've expressed in this work. Embracing all parts of yourself can be very difficult in a world full of stereotypes and pigeon-holes. It's special to share some of your personal struggles and journey in your tracks and this creates a connection that is so much more meaningful. I hope the album achieves the success it deserves and look forward to more great work from you. Keep jumping those lanes, we love it ! PS - the bonus tracks are great - really dig the freestyle, it's been on loop today 🤩
Working toward balance. Body, mind and spirit. That dance of life. The work of a lifetime! You go man!
Big fan not just of you as an artist, or as a reactor, but as a person. All the love, dude, you deserve all the good things. ❤
I've been a subscriber to your channel for 3years! You've done all the hard work, during hard times & the LOVE INDEPENDENT MUSIC for YOU has FINALLY COME THROUGH! I'm SO PROUD of YOU,A BEAUTIFUL THING to SEE!!!♥️🇺🇲🇲🇽🎼⚖️💯
Absolutely loving the album knox. Sorry you have been through so much recently, but just know that a rising tide lifts all ships hun, take care and hang in there ❤❤
I'm proud of you man. 👍 good job 👍
Congratulations brother…. 🫡
i would like to extend my sincerest condolences on the passing of your loved ones. My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.
Additionally, i would congrats you on your upcoming album release. This achievement is a testament to your talent and perseverance.
Wishing you strenght and success in the days ahead. Love you Bro! 👍
congrats on your album!
sorry to hear about the recent storms of your journey. stay well, remember to take care of you, too. keep weathering, because we'll keep supporting you.
blessings to you & your fam.
✌️❤️🎶
I will give you the sentence my friend gave me at the passing of my parents and when a lot of other things happened. What’s most important is how your children see how you cope through things and how you can remain present.
Congrats bro, the catharsis you can have knowing you put it all into the album is needed. Rest your brain for a while now. If REN’s journey tells us anything is balance and making time to be still. Balance is everything. Again congratulations Knox. 💕
congrats man
Knox, your peeps love and support you! I think I've said in comments--You (and Ren) have changed my mind on rap. I used to think 'thug bullshit' but here YOU are, showing me this...idealistic passion, this deep emotion united with the dreams of a better world and a better humanity. It's like you have a spark inside that wants to grow and learn and be MORE and I just f'n LOVE THAT as a fellow idealistic soul. You are HONEST. You are raw, you show the world your truth and your soul through your music, and that is powerful because words are the most powerful thing in existence. Words have hurt me, and helped me, FAR more than anything physical. Your words have POWER man! Keep it up, we love it!
Congrats for finishing the album! I hope it blows up!
Lacrae: Left me up❤️
Thing is when my mom went I learned that the musts continue on after death but all the good stuff , all the connection in this life stops , the fun, the learning in this life so key is be present. And I love seeing you be present.
Get your bag Knox. You deserve the limelight.
Im 50, this Next January will make 5 years since my 1st born son committed suicide. 4 months later my youngest daughter was killed in a solo car accident. Between those 4 months I lost 5 life long, close friends, each of whom I knew ar least 25 years ... 19 years ago I also lost a child in infancy to sids. Im glad you have an outlet like music to help you cope and keep on pushing through. Keep doing what you do brother. You are the best at breakdowns. If I want to see what I missed in a song.... You are who I go to. And to anyone out there dealing with a situation you think may be more than you can handle, find help. Someone out there can and will help. Listen to the people you love. You may be missing clues that someone you love needs help.
Congratulations bro!
Congratulations on finishing your album. I can see how much that means to you. ❤❤❤
I came to your channel through your REN reactions but I stay because you have taught me so much about a genre of music that I never gave the time of day….I have learned so much from you, and my appreciation has spread to other artists, including your music. Your intellect, compassion, joyful love of music, love for your family, your vulnerability all have led me to have deep respect for both you and categories of music that I probably would never have explored were it not for you and REN. For that I thank you…
Crazy to see how far you have come brother, from the day I met you 4 years ago ( The bartender in your song - Driving in the Dark ) to seeing you now, you are killing it and excited to see the future
Ay hope you're well bro 👊 It's been one hell of a journey for sure. Thanks for sticking around to be a part of that adventure
We are 100% behind you Knox... hope you liked the painting I presented to you at the Album release.. we love you x
Congratulations Knox! You deserve this recognition, you have a loyal community behind you! 🔥🎉🔥
Congratulations Knox. I hope your mom gets better. I hope your wife is well. I will pray for your mom. As a 28 year cancer fighter/survivor, you can learn a lot from your toughest struggles and you can learn how to be your best self. Be the best you can be and how to fight the toughest battles. It can make you the strongest both physically and mentally. I wish the best for you and your family. I hope your new album does great Brother.
You go boi! Best of luck to all of your successes Knox.
So that you know, from the outside you are considered elite of those who are in the know when it comes to the break down. That's the word on the street - around the water cooler (keyboard loiterers anyway) which is no small thing. I have heard praise for you from everyone from Ren to Dotta, from positive reactors to haters, from the real to the posers, form the popular to the loners.
I am not to familiar with your rap game yet, but finding that so many consider you at the top of the game in critiquing others, I am looking forward to diving in.
Big ups to you and yours. From what I've seen so far it looks like you got what it takes to get it done. Now go get it!!!
Congratulations 🫶🤩✨
Congratulations Knox. Looking forward to checking out the album. Much love. xx
Congratulations knoxhill I'm about to listen to chaos theory 2 I'm at work but I'm going to listen to it in my earbuds I love watching a lot of TH-cam reactors but you're one of my top favorites and very skilled with the pen literally just have you like this comment or even say something on it would be amazing lol best wishes hope the album does what your expecting about to listen to it now
Congratulations Knox
A ren feature and viktus in a video best shit I've seen in awhile
Knox youre a hip hop genius but also a great person. I'll get better man, i cant even comprehend how strong you are fkr your family
🎉congratulations
Congrats Knox! Saw it on Spotify and bumping it on my way to work.
Stay strong man, we all go through tough times. Always remember and pay respect to the loved ones who aren't here anymore, in whatever way you feel is the best ✊✌
I really do agree! For me, music is almost an extension of myself. It brings out these feelings that hid deep inside me, and it motivates me to be what matches with the music I hear, whether it be angry, sad, or inspired. I struggle with realizing how I feel as I've forcible acknowledged nothing of what I felt. Hearing about a new album you've spent two years on perfecting after watching you catch and understand every bar, entendre, word play, technical and rhyme from the worlds greatest rapper is such a testimony to the skill of your own. Time plus knowledge has always made masterpieces, which is why I am so excited to hear about this. I'm going to comment again after listening, so chao. I hope your stars align in your life so you can live as freely as possible.
You've been through hell recently. The measure of a man is how you handle it. I'm proud to be a fan seeing you push through. Keep fighting, Brother. 🎉
Strength and humbleness are learned through all the stuff we go through. Just remember that you are also highly appreciated by a lot of people, and let that lift you up when you're down.
Congrats!
Shit- you've really been through so much! So courageous to share it here ❤❤
Congrats!❤
Congratulations 🎉
CHEERS! 🎉
Ain’t no love lost
Congratulations Knox Hill
Knox, as someone who constantly struggles with depression and my own sense of identity in this world, I just want to say how much love and appreciation I have for you and what you do. As a fellow musician, your insights on hip hop music have opened me up to new horizons, I don't know how I would've discovered Yellawolf or Royce 59 otherwise. Anyway, congratulations on the album, all love and mental stability to you and yours.
Just ordered my collectors edition album!! I'm so excited! Not that I have a CD player, lol, I'll have to listen to the digital one! But I got it to sit it on my collectibles shelves, next to my Sick Boi albums! I heard of Ren at about the same time you did, so you were the first reaction I ever watched. Like of anything! So I was new to Ren, new to you, and new to reactions! That was an emotional time! First I'm like Who is this amazing musician? Then, Who is this dude that knows EVERYTHING about freaking EVERYTHING?? Then, omg, He's a musician too?!?! Then, I watched you react to the entire Hamilton soundtrack. Dude, I know you don't know me, but you have been a huge part of my life the past 22 months. I knew NOTHING about rap, but you have helped me gain a huge appreciation for something I might never have given a chance. So thank you, Knox. From the heart!! You and Ren are getting center stage on my shelves. 💜💜💜
Congratulations. Sorry for all your losses that’s rough. But happy to could use your music . I love independent music that keeps the music pure. You are a great and smart person too. Don’t ever forget that. ❤
Congrats brother, I found your channel through your Hi Ren reaction and checked out your music to give a little extra support because I loved your breakdowns and you turned me into a fan. Much love and all the best.
You're someone so inspirational man. Made me tear
Proud of you mate
Knox happy you’ve finished your album bro. I knew you suffered a lot of loss in the last few years and seeing you say you “I never made it back in time to say goodbye to your grandfather” can tell that really cuts you deep, try not to let it. Your grandfather would have known how important and loved he was from and to you, he would of been the same generation as my grandfather and if he knew you were out there making music and providing for your family, then he would of passed a proud man of the man you were and the man your becoming. Never change Knox, stay humble, true to yourself and your beliefs because when fame fades you don’t want the real you to fade with it, and remember a career doesn’t make you who you are no matter if it’s football or music….from your story I know how you are; your a husband, a father and a friend to many…outside of that the rest doesn’t matter bro it’s just pass times that make us temperamental happy
All love to you bro, all love from Portugal you a Legend man, keep being you
Congratulations Knox and Family!!!!! You deserve it, and in my view their support counts for more. Sending many Healing, Health, Peace, Strength, Success blessings your way 💕💙🌃🌌🌠🎇🎶🎶
it's not split personalities, it's called crowding and needing space to breathe. I have Bipolar disorder, I know what extreme highs and extreme lows are. You aren't boxable, any more than AR, Ren, BP. If you have to do 3-4 days a week, do that instead of daily. You gotta breathe, Knox! Music in general has saved me many times, it's a powerful tool.
Love how you have the courage to share, lots of people don't learn these lessons until later in life - I'm 60 and I'm still wondering who I'm gonna be when I grow up - because I'm still growing...
Also, keep working those levels to your work - don't dumb anything down
We continue to pray, love and support! 🙏
Getting to watch u blow up the past almost 2 years has been so awesome! So fucking happy for u! 🫶
well done getting through the storm bro , congrats
Congrats, Knox! So proud of you and how far you've come, and not just as an artist. You have been going through it fr, and when the dust settles, you are always standing there with your ethical framework -- your moral compass -- and your sense of humor intact. Your strength and focus and willingness to have and express emotions are inspiring. And you have busted out of any boxes anybody might want to try to put you in over the last couple of years and just leveled up like crazy. I can't wait to listen to your new album.
Congratulations man, I only found your channel a couple months back with the Kendrick Lamar and Drake stuff but your content is solid and your music is great!!! Be proud of yourself and all of your accomplishments. Here's to what is going to be a classic album I'm sure.
Congrats brother
Proud of you Knox! So happy for you... Now let's BUMP the purchases of this album & merch HELLA HARD 🔥🔥🔥
It's been a hell of a ride, being able to get through life, basic life, it's harder. I'm grateful for where I've gotten it's been a fight every day, being focused on life preservation, add more Rocks to the basket, it's hard not throwing them. Beautiful story
We love you Knox. I am so honoured and humbled to be a fan of a man who truly cares about others, but remember to take care of yourself. You're an amazing dad, an amazing husband, an amazing artist. I've learned so much from you about music and how it reflects life that I now listen to music as though it were a poem or a story and I listen so deeply that music now feels like a good book instead of just something to listen to.
I am so happy and proud of you for getting out Chaos Theory 2. You deserve all the recognition and excitement and accolades for being such a true human being. We love you. Keep going brother. Much love and peace to you forever and always. ^^
Sending love and healing to your mom ❤️
Bro I feel you pain, just know we are spiritual beings having a human experience on earth school to prepare us for our true life when we leave our human vessel and return to true reality.
Over the time iv been watching and listening to your progression and work ethic is second to none ,well done brother
Been a fan of yours since late 2019, seeing the channel blow up has been amazing and seeing your growth has been amazing and I can't wait to listen to the album. And I sincerely apologize for all the hardship you've gone thru the past year it's heartbreaking. Just remember God gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers ❤
I've listened to the album soo many times now, every single track is FIRE! 🔥🔥🔥 I'm so sorry for all that you've been going through, but please know we're all behind you, we love and support you and we're here for you. Also, attention Renegades, BUY THE DELUXE EDITION!!! Just... just trust me on this, you don't wanna miss it.
Bro, I am so proud of you and how far you have come over the years. Thank you for always being you and being real. I am looking forward to listening to Chaos Theory 2 and seeing where it's gonna take you. CONGRATS KNOX!! I am sure that you have knocked this out of the park! Much love to PG CO! iykyk
We have been losing too many people this year, 2024 definitely sucks. I lost my Dad, next Tuesday will be a month since he has passed. There has been way too much grief in 2024, I really hope 2025 is a better year. I'm sorry for everything you have gone through this year Knox, grief is not easy at all. I pray for you and your family for these hard times. On a side note, I listened to the entire album. I loved Chaos Theory and Butterfly Effect. Chaos Theory 2 did not disappoint man, you did your thing! Thank you again for expanding my music collection. Stay safe and take everyday one day at a time bro, us fans always got your back. Keep your head up, and I always look forward to your content!
Im so proud of you not only for getting through all the shit you have been through and being there for your family when things get rough but for putting it into your art and sharing your story. You have helped so many people, me included. When im having bad days I have seen some of your videos and they have either cheered me up or gave me some inspiration to start feeling better and get up. You deserve all the success and I hope you get it.
I absolutely love the album. I have only listened once but im blown away.
