While THE WAY I AM marks Knoc-Turn'Al's full-length debut, he'd already become well known in the hip-hop community. A leading light in the Dr. Dre crew, he authored tracks for Dre before taking the mic on a ton of comps and mix-tapes, but his initial debut was curiously shelved. Neverthless, Knoc-Turn'Al persevered, though, and a 2002 EP brought him to a larger audience. Finally, 2004 marks the talented rapper's exciting, overdue debut THE WAY I AM.
Knoc-Turn'Al opens his long-awaited record with one the curiously appealing "War," where he reflects on the Iraq War, going back and forth between praising US military might and dismissing President Bush. This topical angle, while successful, is at odds with the rest of the record, where Knoc' uses his able and plentiful wit to advance forceful thug-life scenarios. On the title track, an undeniable single, Knoc proves that he can run with the big dogs by trading barbs with the master of sly rap interpolation Snoop Dogg himself. Though it was a long time coming, THE WAY I AM proves Knoc-Turn'Al to have plenty of staying power.
