Here is Knightstalker mixtape “The Opening Move”. Mixed by Germany’s finest DJ Easy and hosted by fellow Coast2Coast DJ Klapton (New Jersey/USA) the tape is a well balanced approach in showcasing Knightstalker's skills and versatility on the microphone.

The topics range from socio-critical statements (Survival Strategy, Enough, Escape From Babylon I + II, Sinister Fate) to straight boomin’ HipHop anthems (Countdown, Just Holla, Platoon Leaders). “Late Knight Show” depicts the inner city street life in an unusual and anti-glorifying way, while “Thermosphere” and “Throw Ya Grams Up” are odes to HipHop’s natural medicine of choice. A few “freestyles” are mixed in between to find an exact balance between up-tempo/aggressive and slow/mellow songs.

The guests on “The Opening Move” mixtape are just as diverse as the subject matter: Bronx/NY veteran Armageddon of Terror Squad fame hops on the title cut “Opening Move” while one of Florida’s finest newcomers Laws delivers a fresh 16 bars on “Malfunction Info”. The international underground favorite Tableek (of Maspyke) is feature on “Survival Strategy” and Knightstalker’s friend LuGuz (New Jersey) appears on three cuts of the mixtape. New York City’s own mixtape villains St.Laz and Opium make an appearance on the bangin’ “Just Holla” while Staten Island’s Wu-Tang affiliate Stumik (of Raekwon’s Ice Water Inc.) adds his sinister vocals to the aptly titled “Sinister Fate”.

Production is mostly handled by Knightstalker's in-house producers Romeo and Marodeur as well as international beatsmiths Nefew (Switzerland), 2 Hungry Bros. (USA), Sneezy of Hammer & Zirkel (Germany), Shaolin Beatmaker (France) and Logan-C (USA).
