Fred Knuxx - Chips ft. Nametag
Artist: Fred Knuxx
Featuring: Nametag
Producer: Sean Ross
Album: King Of Grind
Label: Unsigned
To hungry up-and-comer Fred Knuxx, the rap game looks just like a delicious bag of Chips, and on this album cut he teams up with Stylin’ On ‘Em emcee Nametag to explain exactly why. Though food-based punchlines are as old as hip-hop itself, this record finds the Delaware rapper stretching the central metaphor to its absolute breaking point, with entertaining results—it’s not just the salty snack the twosome are talking about, either: chips as in money and the Erik Estrada-starring cop drama CHiPs make appearances here. Though the crackling brass sample that serves as the backbone of Sean Ross‘s instrumental is a little intense for a song revolving around junk-food-related puns, the end result is so ear-pleasing that it’s hard to care. Those who listen to rap for the wordplay are sure to find this cut as addictive as the salty snack from which it takes its name; if you’re craving more, stay tuned for the summer release of Knuxx’ latest LP, King of Grind, as well as the emcee’s contribution to our exclusive freestyle series.

I'm not gonna lie, I smiled when I first heard that sample. It's not a bad concept, and they pull it off by actually explaining it on the verses. The production is cool, but it sounds a little unpolished.

This is underground throwback if I've ever heard one. Both emcees bring the energy and the samples and scratches are lots of fun.
Are you gonna flow or promote your Bentley? So true.

I liked it a lot. Always feeling the underground style. Production is tight and both spit some good flows on here.

Love the sample and production, but the verses are not very energetic, but they make up for it in lyrics.

As soon as the dropped my eyes went O_O. The lyrics are great but they don't bring the energy this beat demands
