Everyone needs a comedic savior, someone whose DVDs you can count on for a laugh, even if your day ended with your boss handing you a pink slip. In that sense, Steve Carell is my personal Superman. Canadian emcee/singer/producer etc. k-os, making his DJBooth debut today after a long and storied career (our bad), might pick Will Ferrell though, and after you hear Faith you’ll hear why. Produced by the J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, Faith is a smoothly chaotic (Get it? His name is k-os! Anyway…), that sounds like a Yamaha piano – understated, dark, and polished. Love him or hate him, guest star Drake can’t be faulted here; with an almost whispery aggression, he delivers his high-syllable verse immediately after a fitting sample from Will Ferrell’s The Anchorman flick. It’s k-os’ playground, though, and his equally clean verse and soul-soothing power on the hook remind us that this party was his idea – Drake just happened to receive an invitation. Many other great artists received an invite to jump on k-os’ newly released The Anchorman mixtape too, so be sure to check it out (Faith included).

This song is excellent with or without the Drake feature and if you've never heard of k-os before today, feel free to send us an e-mail with a "thanks."

Decent track. Like Drake's verse at the begining but not feeling this one as much as Z and dillion.

If life could be as mellow and low key as this song we all would be so much better, mentally and physically.
I'm not even gonna lie...I had no idea that was Drake as the first verse. When the song finished I had to play it again because I needed to see if I was going crazy and because it has a Anthony Hamilton (Marvin Gaye?) feel to it. You could be deaf and realize that Drake killed it and poured a lot of personal feelings into this. K-OS and J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League have created the least choatic track I have heard since Dilla Joints came out (Get it? His name is k-os! Anyway…) >>PUN...I see you Matty |

Once Again Drake finds a track that he sounds good on, and he delivers a pretty good opening verse. And for K-os' first Booth upload he's starting off very nicely in my eyes (or ears rather)

With an intro like that, you'd have to kill it lol
I thought Drake came real hard and the beat was nice. K-OS shouldn't sing though but I love the Canadian content on the booth!! I'm giving 4 stars after my first listen but I'm sure it'll be higher after a couple weeks. |

"Why don't you go back to your home on whore island!" Sorry, got carried away with the Anchorman quotes.
First, huge props to Drake for getting on this track. Never let it be said that he doesn't remember where he came from - there's no "reason" for Drizzy to jump on this track than to support good music from his Canadian brethren. k-os has been killing it for years with his crazy original style, and if a Drake feature is what it takes for people (including us) to get up on him, than that's a very good thing. |

Hello djbooth WHATS UP??? It's CMOvarsity13 you're gonna see a lot of me!! and this track is solid the type of track that you can play right after you hear a Soulja Boi track. To remind you of what music can sound like. But it wasnt mind blowing.

First of all, I LOVE Anchorman!!! That is My MOVIE right there, so they are already starting off on the right foot. The production on this track is exceptionally SICK! Drake delivers as the best feature possible. K-os was hot too! And Thanks Z, because I have never heard of him before today! I try not to give out too many 5-star ratings, but I think this one deserves it...

drake was probably on the track to support his fellow canadian artist.

Just the classic flow of the beat and always impressive lyrics of K-os make this another classic track for him. And surprisingly, Drake switched up his flow for the production and made it one of his better features in a minute.

Dope. This is one of Drake's better verses in a while and k-os kills it too. Probably my favourite song on the tape too.

mmmmmmm! I thought k-os was just an RnB singer, so when he started spitting... wow. I love this guy's sound. Great production too. J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League can't miss right now.

This song is great, and actually it wasn't because of Drake. Drake had a good verse, but the flow and lyrics from k-os (who I had never heard of) and the smooth production are what really impressed me. I have had this on repeat in my ipod since I heard it.

Extremely solid. Chill vibe in the production, and amazing flows from both k-os and Drake, but it's definitely k-os who steals the show here. Never heard of him, but dang, he's good.

Shout out to Drizzy but don't sleep on k-OS. Been down with him since day one. This track is just another classic in a stellar career.
