British rap heavyweight Knucks returns with his long-awaited second album, “A Fine African Man,” out now via ADA. Featuring standout singles “Cut Knuckles,” “Gold Tooth” (feat. Blaqbonez), and “Nkita” (feat. Fimiguerrero), the project sees Knucks at his most personal, reflective, and globally minded.
Following the success of Alpha Place, Knucks expands his storytelling beyond North West London, exploring identity, masculinity, and cultural duality between the UK and Nigeria. Built on soulful samples and African-rooted rhythms, the record pays homage to his Igbo heritage while embracing his diasporan experience.
Tracks like “Masquerade” confront cultural taboos, while “My Name Is My Name” and “Pure Water” transform memory and migration into poetry. Collaborations with Tiwa Savage and Tyler Daley bring depth and emotion to an already layered soundscape.
“A Fine African Man” is more than an album — it’s Knucks’ declaration of identity, resilience, and pride.
