K. Sparks - Watching Me (Kurser Remix)
Artist: K. Sparks
Producer: Kurser
Album: A Day in the Life (Re-Release)
Label: Unsigned
When reader favorite K. Sparks asked online commenters to “Stop stalkin’ me” on the original version of A Day in the Life track Watchin’ Me, the remark sounded like the joke it obviously was. On this remix, the winning entry in a contest held by indie label HiPNOTT Records, producer Kurser shows us just how drastically a beat switch can change a cut’s mood – the blend of ambient synths and chopped vocals he serves up here has a genuinely unsettling, paranoid vibe. Sparks’ densely-packed verses, of course, are just as fresh the second time around, as do the laid-back guest stylings of Californian emcee Chris Young, and frequent Sparks collaborator Julius Francis’ smooth-as-ever hook vocals sound downright haunting over the flipped instrumental. All in all, this reimagining may leave some wishing that Kurser’d work his magic on all the tracks on the project. Well, as it turns out, he is going to remix the entire album – keep it locked for the latest on the forthcoming re-release (coming “soon”). In the meantime, those who haven’t copped the original version of ADitL can do so right here.

how could i forget to rate a k.sparks..the beat is so diffenet but i like it cause he pushing the box, doesn't make it a classic...k. sparks = beast yes, hasn't dissapointed me yet?! i wonder if he ever will probally becasue i thought drake wouldn't but that over hook is garbage...hoook is great also...that reverb sound crazy sometimes but i understand cause it kind of fills in for the wiredness of the beat...he was trying to push the box and it didn't work as much as i would like but i see the potential...heavy rotation

Just when I thought I had figured K. Sparks out, he switches it up like this. I love the production. Reminds me of Common's Finding Forever. After a second listen. Classic. Favorite K. Sparks song yet.

Over course this is dope, it's a K. Sparks record. The beat is crazy and both K and Chris come with some slick rhymes. The Lil Mama line is hilarious lol.

This is an awesome remix! I can really appreciate this song much better. Kurser did a great job with the vocals. I really like what he did on Sparks second verse. Certified Banger!

I think we all know the verses on this is sick, that's been established, but I honestly think I like this beat better than the original. The darkly grinding vibe really brings out the verses more strongly.
Oh, and shout out to Rockwell. Only my real 80s babies will know why.

Sparks is a beast, but we knew that. Love how the production change-up didnt do anything but make this better.
