PX(Parts Unknown) When’s the last time you heard a hip-hop group move you every time you heard them? Welcome to PX(Parts Unknown). This pair of prolific emcees (Blankman and Kneel Knaris) and eclectic producer (LB - Lord Baltimore) from Baltimore’s gritty Eastside are more than just another group in an already overcrowded pool of mediocrity. With influences ranging from Outkast to Run DMC, they see the world through a vast range of experiences, which allows them to create mosaics of intricate poetics and music. Kneel Knaris, the verbal "battle axe", paid his dues early in the game. A two time winner on Apollo Theater, this "gentleman thug"combines street smarts with an English Literature major to paint lyrical landscapes unlike any other. Blankman, the "balance" of the group, is a multi-talented performer. A gifted vocalist, writer and emcee, Blankman can be heard ripping verses and singing vocals over LB tracks, as well as with a local jazz/R&B group. LB, the resident producer, provides the musical backdrop for the group. Under the "Lord Baltimore" moniker, LB became one of mp3.com's most popular producers, with over 250,000 downloads of his tracks in less than 10 months. His use of live instruments combined with sampled elements is the foundation of the PX sound. In the 2 short years PX has been together, they have made quite an impact. Their music can be heard on numerous mixtapes and mixshows around the world. PX's has performed on stages as far away as Hong Kong, and will tour Europe starting February of 2005, all without a major label. Their music, which they call "Urban Blues", combines street sensibilities with smooth, soulful rhythms. Under their Street Legal Entertainment independent label, PX continues to create music to inspire and excite listeners who remember when Hip Hop was fun.
