about

'Within the first few minutes of Klokwize’s new EP East of Exile, nostalgia reigns supreme. The rapper/singer, an indie stalwart throughout the last decade who has worked everyone from Suga Free to Pacewon, manages to effortlessly reference Barenaked Ladies, The Punisher, Jaws 3, Johnny Bravo, Tina Turner in Mad Max, hackeysacks, The Swamp Thing, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and William Shatner’s lecherous lawyer character on TV series Boston Legal.
In standout track ‘Castle’ he even playfully declares,
‘Rest in peace Luke Perry, I’m Pike up on the motorbike / Rolling through California nights with a shoulder spike’
Unique, clever and musical, what’s underneath these metaphors, and all Klokwize records it seems, is inward analysis and an inherent darkness. What makes ‘East Of Exile’ work so well is Klokwize is finally leaning into that darkness'. -Medium, Aug. 2019
