In 2015, Knxwledge released his debut album for Stones Throw Records, Hud Dreems, and produced the track "Momma" on Kendrick Lamar's release To Pimp a Butterfly , [5] [6] which went on to win Best Rap Album at the 58th annual Grammy Awards in 2016. [7] His work alongside Anderson .Paak as the duo NxWorries has received critical acclaim. In March 2020 he released 1988 , his second album for Stones Throw.
