Knock U Out
"Knock U Out" is the second single from Joel Turner and the Modern Day Poets' self-titled album '' Joel Turner and the Modern Day Poets''. It features a guest appearance by boxer Anthony Mundine. The song incorporates elements from the 1982 Survivor hit " Eye of the Tiger" in keeping with a boxing theme. The chorus and first verse are performed by DubLT, the second verse by Mundine, and the third by C4.

The lyrical basis of the song is the Modern Day Poets' portrayal as a musical force to be reckoned with, while Mundine's verse is a shot at his critics and a vow to regain the WBA Super Middleweight title he had previously lost. The music video, filmed at a boxing gym in Melbourne, features the group p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
