Sacramento lyricists Hennessy and Sol each have their own long history in the rap game. Each began making music more than 10 years ago and have released multiple albums and appeared on many other projects. Just this year, however, the two linked up to form The Beatknocks and are readying the release of their first group album, Spittin Images. A press release for the new album says that it “touches many areas of the hip-hop spectrum from classic boom-bap lyricism to bass-driven party rocking.” Spittin Images features beat production from the Bay Area’s Stix in the Mix Productions (B-legit, Celly Cell, Baby Bash), Independent Hommies, who is based in Spain, as well as others. The Beatknocks are opening for Afroman at The Boardwalk on Aug. 30 and it will be the official release party for the new record. Also on the bill are Playah K, Reign, No Mutiny Cliq and many others. It’s a lot of hip-hop for $20 (in advance) and that includes a meet and greet with Afroman. Doors open at 7 p.m. and all ages are welcome. Learn more at Thebeatknocks.com.
