Family Ties and Fishing Lines with Chris Perkins

In this episode of the We Do This Too Outdoors Podcast, I sit down with my cousin Chris Perkins, better known as KNNESS, for a real, unfiltered conversation that blends hip-hop culture, family roots, and a shared love for the outdoors. KNNESS opens up about his journey as a rapper, the grind behind his music, and how staying true to himself has shaped both his sound and his mindset. We also dive deep into his passion for catfishing—breaking down why chasing big catfish gives him the same adrenaline and focus as being in the studio. From late nights making music to long hours on the riverbank, this episode highlights the balance between creativity, patience, and discipline. It’s a conversation about staying grounded, honoring where you come from, and proving that you can thrive in multiple worlds while still being authentically you.
