Bio

Delinquent MC Louie Knuxx, an admired member of the NZ Hip-Hop underground is originally from New Plymouth. 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 BWW 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.

In early 2008 Knuxx packed his bags once again and headed to Melbourne. After a time of settling in he has formed strong alliances and friendships with notable personalities in the Australian music scene. These friendships inspired his latest offering in EP format Drinkin' Druggin' Fightin' Fukkin' which featured JJ Peters of Deez Nuts and I Killed The Prom Queen fame, Kid Shelleen and female soloist Sarah Brown. Louie took a limited run of the EP on his support slot on the Deez Nuts 'Stay True' tour and slung them faster than he could press them.

Louie Knuxx passed away in 2021.
