The Video:
A globe-trotting sensation with a Gold-record under his belt, KnowKnow of Higher Bros. loves life’s finer things. Opening his garage to unleash his fleet of pristine luxury vehicles, KnowKnow introduces “Mr. Bentley” in a brand new music video. Based on a sped-up sample of Beethoven’s “Für Elise,” “Mr. Bentley” establishes KnowKnow as the epitome of sophistication, turning the world of high society on its head with his brazen flexing. In the video, the second from KnowKnow’s debut solo album Mr. Enjoy Da Money, a suit-clad KnowKnow tours Los Angeles in his Bentley, where he finds himself in a street race with a Lamborghini.”Mr. Bentley” follows the video for “R&B All Night,” an ultra-smooth slice of ’80s-style R&B.
Released last week, Mr. Enjoy Da Money is KnowKnow’s role-playing game, as he switches his mindset and persona to perfectly fit each song and situation. 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 lush love songs. The album features Chinese mega star Jackson Wang, Higher Brothers’ Masiwei, and a debut guest spot from KnowKnow’s Mr. Enjoy Da Money label signee BABYBO. Mr. Enjoy Da Money is available everywhere via 88rising, distributed by 12Tone Music.

About KnowKnow:
One fourth of the crossover rap group sensation Higher Brothers (“the current breakout stars of the Chinese hip-hop world”— New York Times), KnowKnow (fka DZKnow) is known for his iconic look and versatile vocal skills.
Representing Higher Brothers on 88Rising track “Midsummer Madness,” which went RIAA Gold earlier this year, KnowKnow hits high melodic notes and delivers trap-style rap flows with ease. He’s also the artist behind “2 The Face” with Rich Brian and the infectious hook in “Lover Boy 88.”

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)
