Third time’s the charm for horrorcore rapper Hopsin, as the angry and often awful character balances his aggressive, violent vocal style with more pop and approachable music during the rewarding Knock Madness.
This album could be the first Hopsin album in a long line of really great Hopsin albums. Or it can be the last Hopsin album. Only he can decide. In either case, Knock Madness will, at the very least, serve as a peek into the wildly entertaining thought process of one of hip-hop’s most misunderstood characters.
