Knoc Turn'al - Sorry I Left You
Artist: Knoc Turn'al
Producer: Komplex
Album: Knoc'sville Mixtape
Label: Treacherous Records
Though he is one of Dr. Dre‘s favorite ghostwriters, has close ties with the likes of Snoop Dogg, Xzibit, and Too Short, and has even released various works on the now-defunct Elektra Records label, Knoc Turn’al has never quite managed to achieve the mainstream popularity of his famous friends. He has, however, accumulated a sizable and devoted West Coast fanbase. On his DJBooth debut, Knoc tells his first love, the state of California, “Sorry I Left You,” promising never to make the same mistake again. Beatsmith Komplex backs the rapper’s renewal-of-vows with a piano loop reminiscent of Dre’s boardwork from back in the day. Knoc Turn’al’s latest street album, Knoc’sville, has yet to receive a solid release date, but those who appreciate this cut’s classic West Coast vibe should keep their browsers trained on our front page; in July, Knoc is set to step into the Booth for an exclusive freestyle.

Got that classic WC sound, yea. Can hear the Dre-ish production too. Considering his background, this is the best song to enter the Booth with.

Knoc has long been underrated as an emcee. He might get his props locally out in LA, but nobody ever mentions his name around the Midwest or Northeast as a WC veteran. That needs to change! According to the record, he is comfortable with it; which I doubt.
Komplex does his thing behind the boards here and the rest is just WC ear candy with some great storytelling. |

Unlike the rest of you I'm not really feeling it. Maybe after I hear it a couple more times my opinion will change but I doubt it.

This could be better with Nate Dogg on hook cos I can't stand his nasal-singing. OK

My crew has always called Knocc the Sammy Davis Jr of the West Coast cause of his singing..He's part of that W/C Rat Pack but doesn't get the respect he deserves. That being said, this is a typical Knocc song.
