You might casually glance at the title of DJ K.O.’s new single, Pick A Card, and assume David Blaine started a rap career, but, thankfully, you would be wrong. DJ K.O. is not concerned with the ace of spades or jack of clubs, but with a different, more important kind of card—the race card. On the latest release from his new album, K.O. calls on Madwreck to help craft a piano centered beat and emcee Justin Bates to provide a commentary on race and how we as a people can work to overcome social constructions and stereotypes. Bates handles his business, providing valuable insight through a strong delivery that grabs your ear in an entertaining way.  K.O.’s album, EMPBeTheTeam, is available now via his own brainchild, Elementality Productions.

Very enjoyable, great under headphones. Justin has a nice, confident, commanding approach on the mic. He doesn't overwhelm, though. Nice give/take.

The piano on the beat is great from DJ KO. Justin Bate's flow was pretty solid. Interesting lyrics.

The lyrics on this track are so real and Justin bates flow is superb. I like his take on gay's and reverse racism. The beat was okay but the message made this track for sure

Refreshing to hear a rapper rap about something than the usual type of stuff that is commonly put on the spot. I appreciate the overall message of the song and the best and flow that were utilized make this track a certified banger. Solid stuff!
