K. Sparks - Hip Hop
Artist: K. Sparks
Producer: Moe Productions
Album: Manic Mondays (#8)
Label: Unsigned
Every week, DJBooth loyalists look forward to hearing the newest installment of K. Sparks’ popular Manic Mondays series (especially since he shouted out this very site on #6, Rewind). For entry number eight, the Jamaica, Queens native delves deep into the pure sound of Hip Hop, explaining that “it’s somethin’ for ya soul/it’s more than just a platinum, it is more than just a gold.” As Sparks expounds on this profound point, previous collaborators Moe Productions supply a beat that makes for perfect under-the-phones listening. Join us again next week to find out what K. Sparks has in store as he continues the Manic Mondays series.

This song is very smooth and laid back, but the delivery and message are solid. I think this song has a lot of potential for radio play. Excellent song in my opinion.

Finally!! I'm on time for a change, lately I been late catching the latest K dot post. Man Man Man, this is what I'm talkin bout, this track is heavy, and I'm steppin outta my bias box for a minute to really kick it on sum real. This is what hip hop is/should be about, dope beat wit fly lyrics, i mean i really should have to validate my rating cuz this is classic, i could care less what others think. EZ

I agree with Jewelz, but also what impresses most about k sparks is that week after week he continues to make quality music without a gimmick. A lot of these other artist rely on names from big producers to draw attention, but he continues to create quality music with unknown producers but the songs are still great.

Message! I second that lstar. Who the hell cares who produced a song? As long as it is dope that's all that matters. I don't care if a homeless dude in a 3rd world country livin in a hut made the beat, as long as that joint knocks that all that matters. But artist feel they need beats from known cats because they feel they validates them, WRONG! The beat don't make the artist, the artist makes the beat.

First off, production is off the chains! This is definitely a full atmospheric listening experience. This is a hit and a classic. This is what I want to see representing hip hop on BET and MTV. I also cosign on the production idea...it's not about big names. It's about who's making hits and flame music. There is so many unknown producers and rappers out there that are classic status, just no one knows about them yet. Everything about this track is on point. The production shines the most, but K.Sparks' lyricism, vocal presence and overall flow serves it up nicely for a mellow, real joint to vibe out to on a ride through the city on an Autumn's day with the windows down letting the crisp breeze blow in. It's about time that listening to hip hop songs become more of an "experience" than just a song or 3-4 minutes of thoughtless banter lacking creativity or substance.

Man oh man, I heard this over the weekend under the content we'd be putting up for the following week, and I just knew that this would get positive reviews. K Sparks is just doing his damn thang. His style is so unique and REAL (see Plies), I don't know if Sparks is looking for the BET/MTV mainstream recognition or if he likes being under the radar, because he's had the talent for a while now to go big. This song is an instant hit and needs to be appreciated by everyone. He's capable of doing big things, watch out.

Great music, I been a fan of sparks since he dropped FP2. I want to see him on a major due to the fact I don't feel he gets the recognition he deserves.

I was so hyped to hear this after seeing the ratings were really high and I agree with the majority hear. This is hip-hop. I'm an official fan of K. Sparks, but he has set the bar high for himself. I hope he keeps up with it.

The production on this is crazy hot. And it's the 1st time for me hearing a beat in reverse on a smooth track. The Paul Revere sample has been used many times but I liked how it's used on here. Good Job K. Sparks and his flow is a nice touch too.
