For all the “pimpin’” talk in hip-hop, few rappers are compassionate or brave enough to look at the situation from the prostitute’s point of view; often driven into the line of work by desperate poverty, the women face constant physical danger and abuse with little hope of legal recourse. On the first official single off his forthcoming mixtape with beatsmith Payozo (formerly known as Pajozo), K. Sparks bucks that trend, giving us a window into the daily struggles of a streetwalker named Clair. Backed by his colleague’s dreamy sample work, a seamless collage of chopped vocals, keys and radiant bell flourishes, the Queens phenom and freestyle series alum trades his usual, head-spinning style for hard-hitting reportage. In vivid verses, he describes the title character being harassed by her pimp, while her “coworkers” stand by and watch, before offering a little insight into the past experiences that brought her to that point. While Sparks and Payozo’s forthcoming set is as-yet unscheduled and untitled, fans can hear more from the emcee on his past DJBooth-sponsored projects, Diagnosis: Success, The Trilogy: Chapter 1 and Super Senior.

Further proving himself as one of the most unsung, unheralded and slept on emcees in the game. Its amazing to me how consistent K's music has remained for 5+ years now. In the Internet age, that is unreal. Everyone throws out a bad record at some point, but that just isn't K's style.

The production sounds like something you would find on an old tribe called question album. Dope track.

Too often we hear about "pimpin", but we don't hear about the real costs and truths about pimpin. Props to Sparks for continuing to speak truth to rhyme.

Dreamy, bold, and frightening, this track must be heard for its dedication to giving listeners a dose of reality, while at the same time delivering a track that is brimming with the skill and entertainment value that I've come to expect from K. Sparks.
