After assisting
with the rise of Chicago
hip-hop in 2016,
Knox Fortune
is honing in on his own
solo material this calendar year.
With production help
from Chicagoan Carter Lang
as well as additional instrumentation
from Macie Stewart, Cam O'bi,
and Colin Croom,
(along with writing credits
from Joey Purp),
Fortune's new single,
"Help Myself"
is a full-fledged
lovesick anthem.
It's three-and-a-half
minutes of Knox Fortune
properly being in the spotlight.
While he's been
behind the boards
for a great deal
of songs by Joey Purp,
Kami, Vic Mensa, Towkio,
as well as on the hook
for Chance's "All Night",
this is the first time
we've seen Knox
as a solo act
since last year's "Seaglass".
If these two tracks
are any indication
of what this multi-talented individual
(he also did the artwork)
is capable of,
I think we're all
in for a treat this year.
