St. Paul, Minnesota’s Ken-C and Rochester Producer Kidd Called Quest continue to pay homage to the greats. New single (out now via Bandcamp) “They Don’t Know” is a tribute to the late great DMX and heads will pick up a particular inspiration from the X man’s track, “Who We Be.”

This track appears a scant few weeks after the duo’s “Premo Feel” single, dropped on DJ Premier’s Birthday (March 21). The track has been getting a lot of love on radio including Statik Selektah playing it on Show Off Radio (Shade 45) on Premier’s actual birthdate.
