K. Sparks - Apple Jacks
Artist: K. Sparks
Featuring: Jarren Benton
Producer: Moe Productions
Album: Diagnosis: Success
Label: Unsigned
If you came up in a breakfast cereal-consuming household, you’re well-acquainted with the mystery that lies at the heart of Kellogg’s Apple Jacks: though delicious, they taste absolutely nothing like apples. (Don’t even get me started on Juicyfruit gum.). Thus, it’s oddly appropriate that K. Sparks’ latest album leak (a Booth-exclusive world premiere!) has nearly nothing to do with the titular product—though the Jacks do get a tangential mention in a sampled backstage quip from Jay-Z. In any case, the record does come packed with everything you need to jump-start your morning (or afternoon, or night). With Moe Productions’ sparse, gritty sample work as his canvas, the perennial Booth fave attacks the mic in characteristically ferocious fashion, mixing pure lyrical aggression with thoughtful social commentary. Introduced to Sparks via DJBooth, ATL phenom Jarren Benton performs a thematic hijacking on the back end (“K. Sparks, I’m turnin’ this into a horror song”) channeling a little early Slim Shady as he rattles off an impressive chronicle of antisocial behavior. Digging this eclectically dope collab? More fresh cuts await on Sparks’ Booth-sponsored Destination: Success LP, set to drop Sept. 19.

This record takes me back to the 90's. Between the Hov sample to start, the production style, and the heavy East Coast sound there is a lot to like (esp if you are a hip hop purist.) I am thrilled the Booth was able to introduce Sparks and Benton. Equally skilled emcees need to collaborate more often.

"Angel came from heaven and she f*cked me on the first night" K always drops solid lines. And Jarren reminds me of Eminem (in a good way) Banger

I get a real east coast lyrical vibe from this song and I LIKE IT. And it's even better to hear two great emcees on the same song. Jarren has been one of my fav's for a whole and Spizzy is a given so this is audio heaven for me. 4.5 but I'll round up

It's different from what I am used to hearing Sparks spit over, but he kills it nonetheless. Jarren Benton came up with a nice verse too.

Cool track. Love how raw it is. It has a nice old school vibe. Just a straightforward, no nonsense track right here.

At this point, K. Sparks seems to be the most consistent artist in the game. Mixing with Jarren is just and extra bonus. HOT
