Knoc-Turn’al is back on board for another edition of “Answers,” where he and Chronic Vacation staff writer Justin “Lunatic” Melo get your questions answered directly.
ANSWERS…FROM THE BOOK OF KNOC
Every Monday, right here on ChronicVacation.com and Raptalk.net, Knoc-Turn’Al will be picking out and answering five questions submitted by fans and Chronic Vacation readers to Lunatic [SUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS HERE.] We present the ninth installment right now and urge fans to continue submitting questions as it is never too late and this series will be long-running! Let’s get started!
ChronicVacation.com: We have a couple of readers who submitted this question (Kurupt4Life, Jaydc555, Laconic) “What’s happening with your upcoming solo album? Is their a release date? When is it dropping?”
Knoc-Turn’Al: My album is definitely going to drop this year. The release date is supposed to be sometime in the later part of the summer. I just wanted to make sure that when I release it to the public that it was right, it’s not bootlegged or old music. People have to bear with me on that and I appreciate the fans for being with me and I appreciate the fans for writing these questions. All I can say about that is when the album does come, you will not be dissatisfied.
ChronicVacation.com: Kurupt4Life & Episcop Swerving want to know, “What type of guest appearances are on the new album?”
Knoc-Turn’Al: I got Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, MathMadix, Scott Storch, Komplex, Warren G, MG, Nate Dogg and a few other names that you may like as well. Too $hort is also now on the album. As of the All-Star NBA weekend, Too $hort is on the album.
ChronicVacation.com: Livio & Episcop Swerving ask, “What are your future plans after “The Book of Knoc” and will we have to wait so long for another solo album again?”
Knoc-Turn’Al: My future plans after “The Book of Knoc” is to release the MathMadix which are four artists that all have a group project with me on it as well as solo projects that they have a lot of good features on. After I do that, no no no to waiting this long for a solo album again; I have good people behind me so you can expect another project next year, 2010. I want to try get at least one out a year and make sure that my group comes out every year. I wanna’ Master P the game for about three years so that way you can get sick of me (laughs).
ChronicVacation.com: What is the producer line-up for “The Book of Knoc?” asks Episcop Swerving & Matty.
Knoc-Turn’Al: Dr. Dre, Scott Storch, MG, Komplex, Warren G, J-Beam, Kanye West, Swizz Beats, J-Beam and Deztined. That’s about it.
ChronicVacation.com: Matty wants to know, “Have you worked with DJ Quik for the album? If not, you should!”
Knoc-Turn’Al: I haven’t worked with DJ Quik for the album. The only reason being is that I haven’t got in contact with him and I should. That’s a very valid point Matty. Expect DJ Quik to be on the album.
ChronicVacation.com: “Are you still messing with Xzibit?” and that comes from A-Noid.
Knoc-Turn’Al: Xzibit will always be my homie but you know he does his own thing. I’m still doing work with some of his co-affiliates from Tha Liks like Tash. The whole point is Xzibit does his own thing and he does what he wants, when he wants to. That’s the benefit of being a platinum artist. You can actually do what you want and create your own schedule. Xzibit doesn’t need me more than I need him, but he’s still a phenomenal rapper.
