Hackney-based rapper Nicki Knightz is a voice for the outcasts, using her husky, raw vocals and self-descriptive lyrics to bring emotional turmoil to the forefront over bass-fueled alternative production. Inspired by the smooth flows and low tones of the legendary B.I.G., Nicki’s unique sound is further enhanced by her partner Henny Knightz’s left-field production, falling under the genre of alternative hip-hop. In 2018, Nicki released her debut EP “Hate,” headlining her own show at Old Blue Last in Shoreditch with supporting artists Henny Knightz and BZERK. After releasing the video for “Spring Haze” in April 2019, Nicki took a musical hiatus. But in 2020, Nicki returned with an important message about her mixed-race identity, releasing the EP “For The Uninformed” during a pivotal time in history amid the uprise after the George Floyd protests. The EP received praise from the underground scene and beyond, with Toddla T declaring it the “coldest record of the week” on Radio 1 and adding it to the SelectorUK playlist on BBC1XTRA. Nicki’s newest single, “Lonely Girls Hearts Club,” tells the story of how she came to refer to herself as a “lonely girl,” relaying her experiences of council estate living and feeling different from the accepted norms. It also celebrates the solace she found once discovering other equally talented and artistic outcasts.”Lonely Girls Hearts Club” is a powerful and emotive track that speaks to the universal experience of feeling lonely or misunderstood. So where is the best place to listen to it? Everywhere! This is the kind of song that’s meant to be played loud and proud, whether you’re driving to work, hitting the gym, or just relaxing at home. So go ahead, put on your headphones, turn up the volume, and let Nicki Knightz’s raw vocals and relatable lyrics transport you to a place of solace and understanding.
