SoundClick artist: Restlezz Knight - DOPEST DUTCH MC TO HIT DOT COM

Restlezz Knight or deRusteloze Ridder is a Dutch MC by reputation. And no, Holland is not the capital of Denmark...

I have been MC'ing and B-Boy'ing since 1994, and am now 24 years young.

This is poetic and deep shit, all in Dutch, but you can probably feel the deep thoughts flowing through your speakers anyway.

Why this name?

Knight because the conquest for righteousness and equality. Restlezz because of the storm that continiously blows through my head.

Do you play live?

Yep, did the most known Dutch HIPHOP joints; de Melkweg (Milkyway), Winston Kingdom and Willem II. ALso played alongside POSTMEN and E-Life at the Rasism Beat-it festival. That was crackin'!

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

Artists need to focus on playin live and improve entertainment skills, making music alone will not be enough to pay the bills anymore.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

Maybe, bit more focussed on my professional career at this stage...but never say never.

Your influences?

MC'S: KRS ONE, NAS, GHOSTFACE and SCARFACE
BANDS: FUGEES, ARRESTED DEVELOPEMENT and the ROOTS
SINGERS: FRANK SINATRA, JONHNNY CASH and MARVIN GAYE
POLITICIANS: GANDHI, MANDELA and CHE GUEVARA

Favorite spot?

Amsterdam in Autumn. Den Bosch in Spring.

Equipment used:
