“Sleep is for the dead guys,” says Clinton Williams, better known as Knesecary (@knscry), on his 2012 EP, “Righteous.” Words to live by. The 30-year-old unsigned emcee has his hands in a little bit of everything: music production, graphic design, photography. Lately, it’s the latter that’s drawn his attention. He prefers snapping photos of supercars, sneakers and the occasional Super Soaker.

“I’ve loved photography since I was a youngin’,” says the Dallas, Texas native, who is currently at work on his new record. “I don’t know if you remember the little Playskool cameras that you get as a kid –– I used to have one of those and pretended I was taking pictures like it was [the movie] City of God or something. That was probably when I was seven or eight years old.”

Knesecary’s photos and rhymes have grown hand-in-hand ever since. The mediums are different but the end goal is the same: show the people something new, different and unexpected.

“I just want to be a breath of fresh air,” he says.
