Chicago Rapper K. Noble Drops New Music
Karl Nobles, better known as K. Noble, is an artist on the rise from the southside of Chicago. He debuted on the music scene in 2020 and has dropped a series of well-received releases since then, including his debut album, Life is Pain, last year. The rising rapper is keen to continue his growing momentum and upward trajectory with the release of his new album, Painkillers, which is out now.
K. Noble is a huge fan of battle rap, which has allowed him to hone his skills on the mic, including learning different flow patterns, styles of delivery and freestyling. And all of this talent is evident throughout Painkillers, which is 12 tracks of straight-up authentic rap music that all hip-hop and rap enthusiasts will be able to appreciate. The album also features current single “Different Sh**”, which arrives alongside a compelling music video.
Speaking further on the new album, K. Noble says, “The inspiration for the album actually came from my second album, Life is Pain. Life is Pain was about enduring pain and overcoming overwhelming obstacles – during the entire recording process of that album, I was facing a serious health challenge. This new album, Painkillers, is about relieving pain and healing. It was during the recording process that the healing process began for me physically and mentally.
“One of the main things that makes this project stand out to me is the fact that it’s a concept album and there is a story and a theme behind it. I feel that one of the most creative things that an artist can do is tell a story with music, and with this project that’s what I was able to do.” Painkillers is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/knoble/painkillers.
Keep up to date with the latest from K. Noble:
Dallas-based rock band Overstreet Knox today released their debut single, “Breathe,” a heartbreaking, guitar-driven track about longing for a person no longer in your life. Stream it on all digital platforms here: found.ee/breathe-ok.
The band shares, “‘Breathe’ speaks to all no matter your background. With emotional choruses and guitar-driven melodies, this song encapsulates the yearning nature of loss. You always want what you can’t have, so just breathe again.” They add, “This was one of the first songs we ever wrote. It details longing for a person no longer in your life. Whether that be romantic or platonic, the consuming desire for this person to just ‘breathe your name again’ is simple but will seemingly fix it all.”
“Breathe” is the first taste of more new music to come for the group, comprised of Griffin Vail (vocals), Jack Lambeth (drums), Jack Poncy (guitar), and Luke Hill (bass).
The band will play a special hometown Halloween show at Sundown at Granada in Dallas on October 30 — their first show with original music out in the world. Their most recent show at the venue sold out, and they now hold the all-time attendance record there. Tickets for their Halloween return are on sale now.
Upcoming Live Dates:
10/30 – Dallas, TX @ Sundown at Granada
About Overstreet Knox:
Overstreet Knox (OSK) is Dallas’ new-age rock band, on a mission to put the live back in live music — the kind of night where you don’t want to miss a second.
Blending classic rock influence with modern energy, their sound is one-of-a-kind, forged by members from Alabama, Florida, DC, and Texas into something you won’t hear anywhere else. That cross-country mix shows up in every set: dancy grooves that get feet moving, hard-hitting riffs that will be stuck in your head, and sing-along melodies that turn strangers into a crowd.
OSK doesn’t just play music, they create an environment. From the first note, every set is audience-forward, built so each person in the room finds their moment. Whether that’s dancing up front or singing along to every word, your experience will be unforgettable.
