Upstate New York continues to prove that it has some of the rawest underground talent in the country, and the new release “Plug Avengers” is another reminder of the region’s rising dominance. John Bizz teams up with Trenchy The Guy and Knuckles Brimm for a hard-hitting collaboration that blends street energy, lyrical precision, and authentic storytelling into one unforgettable anthem. Produced by 808 Solo and shot by RugzOle, the official music video captures the gritty essence of New York’s underground scene while showcasing three artists with completely different styles coming together flawlessly.
For John Bizz, “Plug Avengers” is another strong step forward in a career that has been building momentum for over a decade. The Upstate New York artist first introduced listeners to his vision through his debut project A Perfect Time, quickly earning attention for his ability to fuse rugged hip-hop with smooth RnB-inspired melodies. Influenced by icons like Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, Fabolous, and Dipset, John Bizz has spent years refining a sound that feels both modern and rooted in classic New York rap culture.
Even after ten years in the game, John’s hunger remains undeniable. Instead of slowing down, he continues releasing singles consistently while carefully preparing future projects. His recent collaboration “Trap Olympics” featuring Fuego Base and SixTheDon already showcased his chemistry with other rising talents, and “Plug Avengers” raises the stakes even higher. The chemistry between all three artists feels natural, with each bringing a different layer to the record.
Rising out of Schenectady’s underground rap scene, Knuckles Brimm continues proving why his name still carries weight years after first making noise around 2018 and 2019. Built off raw emotion, unapologetic storytelling, and hard-hitting lyricism, Knuckles carved out his own lane by speaking openly about mental health struggles, trauma, pain, and the realities of surviving in forgotten communities.
His breakout project, Permanent Scars, connected deeply with listeners who related to the honesty behind records like Demon Inside of Me and Mixxed Emotions. Instead of hiding his battles, Knuckles turned them into music that felt personal and relatable, helping him build a loyal fanbase across the Northeast underground scene. At the same time, tracks like Your Not Hound and Bumblebee showcased another side of his artistry — aggressive delivery, gritty confidence, and fearless energy that separated him from typical melodic underground acts.
Now, Knuckles Brimm is reaching another level after appearing on Caskey’s new project HOW DOES IT FEEL, a major look for the independent artist and another sign that his work is being recognized outside of his hometown circuit. The collaboration places Knuckles alongside one of independent hip-hop’s most respected lyricists and continues building momentum around his growing catalog.
With his newest project, Make America Rap Again, Knuckles Brimm continues separating himself through authenticity rather than trends. While much of today’s rap landscape focuses on image and viral moments, Knuckles stays grounded in substance, emotion, and real-life experiences. That honesty has become his signature — and it’s exactly why supporters continue viewing him as one of the most important underground voices to come out of upstate New York in recent years.
The visual for “Plug Avengers” elevates the record even further. RugzOle’s camera work captures the hunger and intensity behind the collaboration, while 808 Solo’s production provides a dark, energetic backdrop that allows every artist to attack the beat differently. John Bizz’s melodic street charisma, Knuckles Brimm’s emotional realism, and Trenchy The Guy’s razor-sharp lyricism create a combination that feels powerful from start to finish.
“Plug Avengers” isn’t just another underground collaboration — it’s a statement record from three artists who represent the hunger, pain, creativity, and ambition driving New York’s next generation of hip-hop.
