Statz Perspective on Cant Knock The Feel

I’m Britan "Statz" Gwyn, a hip-hop and R&B artist, music producer, recording engineer, and songwriter. But beyond the titles, I’m a storyteller. I create music that makes people feel something—whether it’s motivation, reflection, or just vibing out to a good track. I’ve spent over 12 years perfecting my craft, not just as an artist but as a producer and entrepreneur. Through my company, ForeverJiggy, I help independent artists and brands bring their sound to life, giving them the tools to carve out their own lane in this industry. Music isn’t just something I do; it’s a part of me.

I come from a place where music isn’t just entertainment—it’s culture, it’s identity, it’s survival. Growing up, I was surrounded by the sounds of old-school hip-hop, R&B, and soul, and I absorbed the lessons in those records: the hustle, the pain, the celebration of wins, and the resilience to keep pushing forward.

"Can’t Knock The Feel" embodies that mindset. It’s about moving with confidence, trusting your instincts, and not letting outside noise shake your belief in yourself. As an independent artist, I’ve faced doubters, obstacles, and moments of uncertainty. But one thing that’s never changed is that feeling—that undeniable drive telling me I’m meant for this. That’s what this song is about. You can’t fake it. You can’t stop it. You can’t knock the feel.

One of my first real memories of music takes me back to riding in the car with my parents. The bass would hit, the melodies would ride out, and I’d just be in the backseat, absorbing it all. I remember how certain songs made the world feel different, how they created a vibe that stuck with me long after they ended. I didn’t understand it then, but I knew music had power.

Later, I started digging into my own sounds—staying up late, headphones on, playing beats over and over, freestyling in my room, figuring out how to translate my thoughts into something real. That feeling from back in the car? It never left. I just found my own way to create it.

There wasn’t one single moment—it was more like a series of realizations that kept pulling me deeper into music. But if I had to pinpoint a defining moment, it would be when I recorded my first real song and played it back.

Hearing my voice on a track for the first time was surreal. It wasn’t just an idea anymore—it was something real, something that existed beyond me. And in that moment, I knew this was it. I knew I had to chase this. There was no plan B.

From that point on, everything became about growth. I dove into songwriting, learned how to produce, and built a sound that was completely my own. It wasn’t always easy, but every setback just fueled me to go harder.

"Can’t Knock The Feel" is a mix of hip-hop and R&B, but the energy behind it goes beyond labels. It’s got that bounce, that rhythm, but also that introspective weight. There’s a balance—smooth melodies meet raw storytelling. It’s the kind of track that gets you in your zone, whether you’re on the move or just reflecting on where you’re headed.

Three years ago, I was still growing into my sound, figuring out how to bring my vision to life in the way I really wanted. I was experimenting, sharpening my skills, and finding the right balance between lyricism and vibe.

Now, my music is more intentional. I’ve learned how to say more with less—how to let the beat breathe, how to make every line count. My production has leveled up, my songwriting has more depth, and my sound has become something you recognize instantly. I’ve also become more transparent in my music, sharing more of my own story and perspective. The confidence in my music now? That’s years of work, experience, and self-belief all coming together.

At the core of my music, you’ll always find themes of ambition, resilience, and self-discovery. I make music for people who are pushing through—whether that means grinding toward their dreams, overcoming challenges, or just trying to figure out their next step.

Love, struggle, success, and personal growth—those all come into play. But one thing I always aim for is authenticity. If I’m talking about pain, it’s real. If I’m talking about motivation, it’s because I’ve lived through the moments where I had to push myself forward. "Can’t Knock The Feel" is the perfect example of that—it's a statement about trusting yourself even when others don’t see the vision.

There are a few artists I’d love to hit the road with, but if I had to choose, it’d be J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, or Drake. Not just because of their impact, but because of the way they connect with their audiences. When they perform, it’s not just a show—it’s an experience. They bring their message, their energy, and their realness to the stage, and that’s exactly the lane I’m in.

Touring with them would be more than just an opportunity—it would be a masterclass in connecting with people through music. And honestly? I know my sound fits right in with that level of artistry. It’s only a matter of time.
