KnowKnow (fka DZKnow) of Higher Brothers Announces Debut Solo Album Mr. Enjoy Da Money, Arriving December 12th via 88rising
A Gold-Certified Musical Sensation, KnowKnow Invites the World to Enjoy Da Money With an Album as Unique, Surprising, & Entertaining as the Artist Himself
Critical Praise:
“At the other end of the stage, Dzknow, another Higher Brothers rapper, grabbed a fistful of cash and took aim, sending a flurry of fake bills raining down on the sweaty fans below.” – The New York Times
“So far, [Higher Brothers] have proven they have what it takes to smash through both language and cultural barriers, bringing their unique brand of Chinese rap across to international markets” – Highsnobiety
“Chinese Hip-Hop’s Greatest Hope” – Noisey
The Announcement:
Higher Brothers member and 88rising signee KnowKnow announces his debut solo album Mr. Enjoy Da Money, out December 12th via 88rising, exclusively disributed by 12Tone. The first and only Chinese rapper with an RIAA-certified Gold record (“Midsummer Madness,” his collaboration with Joji, Rich Brian & AUGUST 08), KnowKnow’s upcoming project showcases the talent and charm that earned him the nickname “Chinese Biggie.”
A testament to KnowKnow’s extraordinary musical ability and wild imagination, Mr. Enjoy Da Money is a playful and surprising record, equal parts hard and soft, one-half high-energy trap music, one-half vibey love songs. KnowKnow draws inspiration from far and wide, high and low. Listen closely and you’ll find traces of Beethoven and Rich the Kid, and references to Santa Monica, Chengdu, Grand Theft Auto, The Wolf of Wall Street, Scarface, and more.
Mr. Enjoy Da Money is KnowKnow’s one man show, his real-life “role playing game.” The artist’s dynamic and versatile vocal range flows seamlessly through his main persona—Mr. Enjoy Da Money—and all the other characters he creates along the way: Mr. Bentley, Mafia Cashier, Baby CEO, Mr. Right, and more. These figures are not so much distinct characters as they are facets of KnowKnow’s personality, refracted through the make believe of the present, dreams of the future, and bittersweet memories of the past.
KnowKnow describes himself as the “Baby CEO of many real businesses,” one of which includes Chinese streetwear brand also named “Mr. Enjoy Da Money.” Stay tuned for stateside capsule collections and pop-ups.

About Higher Brothers:
Widely regarded as China’s most accomplished rap group, Higher Brothers is a 4-man group comprised of KnowKnow, MaSiWei, Melo, and Psy P. Named ‘2018 Hip Hop Artist Of The Year’ by NetEase (one of China’s top music streaming platforms with over 600M active users), and hailed by The New York Times as “the current breakout stars of the Chinese hip-hop world,” Higher Brothers have continued to break new ground with millions of views on every music video and profiles with international media like CNN, Vice News, Rolling Stone and Los Angeles Times. They’ve been tapped by household brands, including Adidas, Sprite, GUESS, and Air Jordan (with Russell Westbrook), to represent China and bridge global interests. As Higher Brothers continue to be a cultural phenomenon, “MaSiWei, Melo, DZKnow, and Psy.P’s success story is more than a tale about four kids ‘making it’—it’s emblematic of a bigger trend towards globalization ” (GQ)
