Wasted Youth

Delinquent MC Louie Knuxx, an admired member of the NZ hip-hop underground is originally from New Plymouth and has been making music for 8 years. He spent time on the grind in old school crew Dirtbag District (with crewmate Ethical) and joined Cyphanetik and Tourettes in the Insomniacs when he moved up to Auckland.

Now Louie is stepping out on his own and he has gathered an army of the undergrounds best for his debut album 'Wasted Youth' to be released on the independent Breakin Wreckwordz label. Louie has added to the already smoldering line up of MC's from his own camp (Cyphanetik, Tourettes, Usual Suspects) with guest appearances from Con Psy, PNC, Dirt City's Fact & Nesh and RnB singer Maia.

An intense experience revealing the insightful Louie Knuxx, 'Wasted Youth' traces his childhood and youth, an autobiographic account of violence & drugs, rap dramas & superstars, love & family. The outspokenness and satire we've come to expect from him is extended to serious issues too, but it is the languid teasers (with the rogue eloquence that is distinctly him) that are likely to impress the most.
