K. Sparks - Humble's the New Cocky
Artist: K. Sparks
Producer: iLL Sugi
Album: September Lounge EP
Label: Unsigned
Don’t worry, Booth readers: on lead EP single Humble’s the New Cocky, K. Sparks isn’t suggesting rap transition from a braggadocio-based paradigm to a competition for who can be the most passive-aggressively modest. (Not unlike your average family dinner in my home state, the infamously “nice” Minnesota.) In fact, I’m forced to assume that the reader fave has a very different idea of what the word “modest” does than myself, or the dictionary, or anyone I’ve met, because the record packs all the tightly-wound braggadocio and trash-talk we’ve come to expect from the Queens flame-spitter. Introducing his beat with as campy snippet from Adam West’s classic Batman series, project collaborator iLL Sugi flips a warm vibraphone sample as the frestyle series alum bombards the competition with an onslaught of fresh and unpredictable lyrical barbs. Notably, he takes a shot at the increasing number of Big Apple emcees stepping outside their region: “A lot of New York rappers be soundin’ Down South / Soundin’ like a clown mouth, n*gga shut your damn mouth.” Feeling this head-noddable (and not remotely humble) lead effort? More dopeness awaits on Sparks and Sugi’s September Lounge EP, available here for digital purchase.

Oh, how I love Batman the TV show from back in the day. Thank you to Sugi for reminding me. The irony here, of course, is the title of this record. Still, though, Sparks does Sparks - you'd never expect anything different.

K. Sparks ripped this on some "true-hip-hop" type track. Sick beat... I definitely wish this was longer...

That K.Sparks sound we all love, straight head boppin' and addictive, Sparks' deserves the best and after all the free music he has given over the years I'll be buying this.
