Henny Knightz's most recent work, "FAMILY BACK TOGETHER," showcases Henny as an artist, rapper, and producer from Hackney, who looks inside and paints a warm picture of the bonds that keep us close. The producer of The Low Stakes is becoming more honest about his feelings without losing his poetic wit, which is a big part of his work.
Henny has been making his own way through East London's underground creative scene for a while now and is a co-conspirator with Nicki Knightz. But "FAMILY BACK TOGETHER" feels like a calm moment in the middle of the storm. It's a song that stops everything for a moment to remember the people who made him, held him, and made him whole.
It feels soft like Across the Track. Knightz's delivery has a realness that makes you feel like he's telling stories through a pair of fogged-up glasses: close enough to touch, but far enough away to hurt. The production, as always, leaves room for thought, so that each line hits with the hush of truth.
"FAMILY BACK TOGETHER" is special not only because of the subject it chooses, but also because it is honest. Knightz doesn't make family sound romantic; he makes its messy complexity sound sexy. The song is about reconnecting after a long time apart, healing after years apart, and the idea that family, whether we want it or not, is a force that shapes us.
