1988 sees the producer shifting from the abstract and off-kilter sound of Hud Dreems to a more polished, but still quirky groove. Not every element is quantized, so it still feels raw and organic.

Right as you press play on the album, “dont be afraid” floods your eardrums with smooth, low vocals, a forceful kick and spaceship synths. As one of the trappiest offerings on the album, the song illustrates Knxwledge’s versatility. While he is one of a few elite sampling senseis who can effectively turn the old new again, he seems to acknowledge that creations of the future require fresh sounds.
