Last Thursday The Knockturnal was on the scene for Dave East’s exclusive mixtape release party.
The Knockturnal was on the scene last night for Alessia Cara’s first time headlining Radio City Music Hall.
Meet the newest artist on Def Jam’s roster, Earl St. Clair!
On Wednesday, July 13th, Def Jam hosted the album listening for Lil Durk’s sophomore album Lil Durk 2x.
Recent mother and wife, Teyana Taylor lit up the Belasco Theater in LA last night to everyone’s delight. The Unplugged Tour started off with DJ Raj Smoove playing all the right tunes to get the crowd excited. Then the clock stuck 9:30pm and the house lights dimmed. The audience went wild and excited turned to LIT.
Seductively walking to the stage with a suit jacket and skin thigh tights was Def Jam recording artist Teyana Taylor or “T” as we learned she preferred. Her debut album VII which was released in 2015 came jam packed with sultry new school R&B like “Put Your Love On,” “Business” and “Just Different”, which the hundreds in attendance absolutely loved.
My first thoughts when T started dancing was “woah” she is definitely on her way to Janet Jackson star status. She covered some of her hit “I Get So Lonely” along with Aaliyah “One In A Million.”
Her squad (background dancers) helped add even more sexy to the stage but fans really went crazy when her newly born daughter, Junie, graced the stage. Oh and who can forgot about Def Jam label mate, Big Sean fresh off his collobaration album Twenty88 with Jhene Aiko, randomly coming on stage to say hi.
All in all her show highlighted her talents as a performer and displayed just how great her career will be. I know we’re all rooting for her here at Knockturnal.

Def Jam’s latest R&B signee just released a captivating new video featuring appearances from a variety of New York based artists.
Rapper Big Sean and R&B singer Jhene Aiko collaborated to put together their new album TWENTY88. In an interview that they did with Flaunt magazine, Jhene Aiko speaks on how today’s music doesn’t cater to the feelings of an actual relationship and TWENTY88 is what the music industry needs.
The Photo shoot that Jhene Aiko and Big Sean did together was incredibly hot! The photos raised a lot of questions about the relationship these two have. With very seductive and playful poses you would think that these two are dating, but rest to sure they both claim to be single and simply enjoying each other’s company.
Jhene Aiko talks about how she stepped out of her comfort zone while recording the song “two minute warning”. This song features the 90’s R&B singers K-Ci and JoJo who bring a smooth melody to they intensely sexual explicit song. This album is highly sexually, fantasy driven, and brings record the highs, lows, and emotions that come with relationship.
If I had to use one word to describe this album it would be passion. This album is filled with lots of sex, lust, and love. The emotions spilled on each track are raw, and together Jhene Aiko and Big Sean have a chemistry that is undeniable.
Stepping into Gibson’s studio the last vibe to hit me was one of humility.
We once again have to thank YouTube for ushering in a new young Pop songstress.
