Kirk Knight Unveils ‘IIWII’ Album Release Date

Pro Era's own Kirk Knight has delivered some great news for his loyal fans. Recently, the rapper-producer announced that his sophomore album, IIWII, will be released on Nov. 16. In case you didn't know, IIWII stands for "It is what it is."

In a second bit of good news, he's also dropped "Downtime," which is the seventh track off the follow-up to his debut album, Late Knight Special.

"Downtime" serves as the follow-up to his previously released single, "Run It Back (Freestyle)." The track acts as a showcase for Knight's versatility as he raps his verses and sings on the chorus.

"Confidence, lost it/Prisoner, I'm held hostage/By self doubt I get lost and you wasn't there on the prospect/All the small talk just to get bigger/In my soul I got to make figures/Fire in my heart it get lit up/Party hardly but yeah I'm the plug," raps Knight, who produced A$AP Ferg's "Plain Jane" last year.

This is a different approach from his flow on "Run It Back (freestyle)," where Knight shows off a quick-fire flow on a hard-body beat.

"This is for Steelo and Micheal Gonzales/I swear to God I might just get that shit tatted/I'm stuck in the field like it's NFL Madden/I swear I need bands, I'm not talking no wagon," he spits on the track.
