The lyrics of 'Finding Peace' by HipKnoTiC give me such a good feeling and share the struggles to finding one's true self. This plays along with an easy-going Hip-Hop tempo.
Having struggled with mental illness and a failed suicide attempt, Youngstown, Ohio’s HipKnoTiC is channeling his pain and perseverance through song. “Finding Peace” is an intimate glimpse into his past and a celebratory homage to conquering his demons. Showcasing a level of vulnerability not often seen in Hip-Hop, the song is a cathartic exercise in self-love.
I hear the devil, he's creeping up tryna steal my soul.
But I can't let it go, not that easily.
When I'm this close to becoming a better me.
Produced by Fizz The Monster, “Finding Peace” is the lead single from HipKnoTiC’s forthcoming debut LP, slated for release this summer.
Now living in Cleveland, the 36-year-old rapper blends introspective reflection with self-deprecating humor to cultivate a relatable, entertaining style that sets him apart from others in his class. Creating what he coins “Underground Boom-Bap Soul,” HipKnoTiC is gearing up for the release of his first album, which he titled Finally as a tongue-in-cheek nod to his relatively “late” entry into the game.
