Knucklehedz is an American hip-hop group that emerged from the East Coast rap scene of the 1990s as part of the influential Hit Squad collective. Formed during a pivotal era of East Coast hip-hop, the group contributed to the genre's dynamic production landscape alongside peers like Redman and Das EFX, working within the creative ecosystem established by EPMD co-founder Erick Sermon.
The group's work reflects the sample-heavy, funk-infused production style characteristic of early '90s East Coast hip-hop, a sound that heavily influenced electronic and hip-hop crossover music. Though the Hit Squad collective dispersed in the mid-1990s as its members pursued individual projects, Knucklehedz remains part of the foundational legacy of the era's collaborative rap collective movement.
