Andrew Knowles, Aka Rudeboy Da Niceguy Works On A Expected Hit With Platinum Producer DJ Blackout

By Kelly Blomquist

Working the Internet, club and party landscape, Andrew Knowles, aka Rudeboy, has been making his mark in south Florida. Reign Entertainment just scooped him up in June 2010 and now Rudeboy Da Niceguy works on a expected hit with platinum producer DJ Blackout. Hopes are high that these partnerships will bring national attention to this deserving artist.

DJ Blackout started working nationally as a deejay and then met Jada Kiss whom he worked with for 3 years. When he bumped into JaRule at a South Beach, Florida club and slipped him a demo CD he started working music production with JaRule. Not long afterward he created his own production group called Blackout Movement. In 2005 he partnered with Danny "Styles" Schofield and the duo has won numerous Rhythm and Soul Music Awards together.

Rudeboy has been christened by his fans as King of Da Club and New King of South Florida. As a up and coming hip-hop artist it is hoped that this new collaboration with Reign Entertainment and DJ Blackout, will shine more national light on this talented rapper. With a contagious combination of rap, techno and strong beat, the music definitely makes you need to get up and move your body.

After relocating to the Miami-Dade County area from the Bahamas with his mother at age 3, Knowles learned the value of working hard through watching his mother work two jobs to keep them afloat. He still received backing from her in his enthusiasm for the entertainment industry, however. Before he was 16, he was creating his own music and he garnered the attention of Platinum Records and Mike Green. They gave Knowles admission to recording studios and put him on the early road of his career. When Knowles transplanted to Palm Beach County at the age of 18 though, he was unsure if music would be his profession.

Struggling and working two jobs, he met local music producers, Smif-N-Gunz and Rudeboy's music career was back on track and taking south Florida by storm. He's been working the local club and party circuit and sharing his unique style and abundant energy on stage.

For the time being, Rudeboy's music is available only through the Internet, but it can occasionally be heard now on a couple of radio stations. With his two new working partners, it's hoped that Rudeboy's music will soon be debuting on national radio stations and his albums will start showing up at the local record shops. It's time that south Florida stopped monopolizing his talent and let the rest of us have some fun. - 40723
