If dude wasn't a alcoholic he probably would've been a big deal
With his melodic style, he could have gotten a pretty good career

So THAT'S what happened. Meh, could be a lot worse. Knoc is one of the few "here today, gone tomorrow" artists you don't really hear anything bad about.
That's the oldest trick in the book.
You sign everybody to your label, then contractually, they can't release anything.
Then you release your flagship artist while the other 249 artists sit around twiddling their thumbs.
That's what 50 Cent did with G-Unit (Spider Loc, Olivia)
I'm pretty sure Puffy had some artists signed to his label that never came out.
I mean basically if I give you a check for $10k and you sign the contract, the flagship artist has less competition.
I bet Dr Dre signed every up and coming artist in L.A. to Aftermath to a $10k contract and none of them ever came out.

Knock was dope... At a time when when LA hip hop was booming, he kinda had that smooth vibe that was popular at the time and also a different persona and flow than most which made him stand out... All of that could had made him a bigger commercial star than he eventually was... He had couple big tunes then just seemed to go away...
I didnt realise he wrote for Dre too, dude clearly had skills...
'We just smoking, dranking, straight Westcoasting'...
