For K. Sparks, being “Black” is about more than a simple quantity of melanin (or a penchant for absorbing light rays). It’s shorthand for an entire state of mind, a drive to succeed, an intimate familiarity with the struggle and a steely determination to get what’s yours and protect the same. Fresh off earning high reader praise for Harlem Renaissance-themed banger The Cotton Club, the perennial Booth fave returns to offer an expressionistic account of what the color means to him on his second feature of the year. Past beatsmith collaborator Payozo mans the boards on this freshly-released promo single, serving up a smooth synth instrumental accented with a vocal snippet from Biggie‘s classic Sky’s the Limit (“To protect my position, my corner, my layer…”) as the Queens phenom laces the beat with witty, intricately-rhymed lyrical flames. Notably, he takes the opportunity to call out some former business associates, spitting, “‘Worst Deal I Ever Signed’ Award goes to Fat Beats.” Like what you’re hearing? While Sparks has yet to announce any forthcoming projects for 2012, you’d better believe we’ll be keeping you supplied with the latest news and tunes.

Great beat by and BIG sample use by Payozo. This beat bumps hard. Good flow by K. Sparks as usual. This is definitely BANGER MUSIC!

Sparks does it again. Great use of the sample and the beat was very unique. Spizzy is one of my favorites for a reason.

Sparks on form! Good sample but there's something about the base that im not feeling, maybe another grower.

I like it, but I'm not as crazy about it as most here. Good beat, good flow, but I'm just not getting that hit vibe from this.
