Kuf Knotz

Known for his unique blend of hip-hop, soul, blues, jazz and rock, Kuf Knotz is one of Philly's fastest emerging alternative rap artists. No musical territory goes unexplored when it comes to Kuf, and it is this attitude that has led him to perform with top acts like Common, The New York Dolls and Bruce Springsteen. In addition to working with collaborative projects such as Burn Down All-Stars and The Hustle, Knotz recently set the tone for his solo career with his debut album Boombox Logic. The album, released under Drexel's Mad Dragon Records, features an impressive list of guest artists such as Sharon Little, Lizanne Knott, Dave Vegas, G Love and more.

Kuf also volunteers his time for WXPN's Musicians On Call program, bringing live music to the bedsides of patients through weekly programs at six area hospitals, including Hospital at the University of Pennsylvania and CHOP. He played at this year's Musicians On Call Benefit concert. Kuf also played the XPoNential Music Festival back in 2008, and we're psyched to have him back!
