4knova shares energizing single “18weeks”

There’s a certain urgency to 4knova’s new single “18weeks” – like someone rapping with one foot on the gas and the other in quicksand. Built on the relentless bounce of Jersey club, the track moves fast, but the emotions hit even faster. It’s not just about the sound (which does knock), it’s about the friction: between ambition and love, loyalty and loss, drive and distraction.

4knova isn’t trying to sugarcoat the grind. He knows what he wants – success, money, freedom – but “18weeks” is about the weight that comes with chasing it. There’s paranoia. Isolation. Temptation. Moments where it feels like the closer you get to your goals, the more everything else starts to fall apart.

Lines like “I just made less friends & more enemies” and “Wanna touch a M / But she wanna fuck / I cannot be him till my money up” don’t just rhyme – they carry the tension of someone figuring it out in real time. Vulnerable, but still locked in. Tired, but not slowing down.

Engineered by 4knova and Yeah Josh, the production is tight and purposeful – clean, minimal, but heavy where it needs to be. It gives the lyrics space to breathe without ever losing momentum.

Hailing from Dallas with Palestinian roots, 4knova continues to blur the lines between genres and influences. His music pulls from real-life pressure and internal battles, pairing melodic delivery with club energy and sharp storytelling. As an independent artist, he’s not waiting for permission – he’s building something real, one track at a time.
