Savannah, GA -based rapper and Dope Sandwich label head KNife presents the self-directed music video for “DieNasty”, the new single from his forthcoming album Iconoclast, set to feature Allone and Electric Grandma as well as Miggs, another Dope Sandwich artist who recently dropped the single/video “Knowhateyemean”. Milwaukee producer Mammyth handles production on “Dienasty” as well as the entirety of Iconoclast. The son of a US diplomat, he was raised in Canada, Singapore, Cameroon and his mother’s home country of Liberia, where he bore witness to Liberia’s gruesome civil war. After relocating to Savannah he began the Dope Sandwich crew – a collective of rappers, breakdancers, deejays, artists and producers – and released several albums. He has shared stages with Curren$y, Hieroglyphics, J-Live, Masta Killa, Louis Logic and more. “’DieNasty’ was the last song written and recorded for the album,” says KNife. “It was actually an addition meant to lighten the album up a little, but it backfired and ended up being the hardest track on the damn thing. I also wanted another straightforward, traditional rap song added into the mix of the more experimental stuff I was doing.”
