ShrapKnel
ABOUT
ShrapKnel is the explosive collaboration between Curly Castro and PremRock, two lyrically sharp and fiercely independent voices in underground hip-hop. Emerging from the fertile creative soil of Backwoodz Studioz, the same label behind Billy Woods and Armand Hammer, ShrapKnel combines gritty poetics with futuristic, industrial-tinged production, often courtesy of producer ELUCID. Their music explores themes of dystopia, political resistance, and personal resilience, wrapped in dense wordplay and complex rhyme patterns that reward deep listening. Their self-titled debut album in 2020 set the tone: raw, cerebral, and unafraid to challenge conventions.
Building on that foundation, ShrapKnel has continued to evolve both sonically and thematically. Their follow-up projects push boundaries further, blending avant-garde experimentation with razor-sharp lyricism and an undeniable chemistry between the two emcees. Whether onstage or in the studio, ShrapKnel delivers a relentless energy that bridges classic boom-bap ethos with modern urgency. As standard-bearers for a new era of politically conscious and artistically daring hip-hop, ShrapKnel stands at the vanguard of the genre's underground renaissance.
