Artist: K. Sparks

Producer: DJ King Flow

With the end of his 52-week Manic Mondays series glimmering on the horizon, K. Sparks has come a long way towards his stated goal of tackling every topic under the sun, but one thing we haven’t heard from him is a straight-up ladies’ jam (though he has delivered a Jigga-esque rundown of past Relationships).  On installment #41, the Queens emcee finally ventures into that territory, parlaying his passion for the old-school into a throwback track with female appeal to spare.  Over DJ King Flow‘s jazzy, piano-driven sample work, Sparks spins a wistfully romantic tale centered around one ‘80s fashion trend he really digs: Door Knockers—the oversized, gold hoop earrings that seemed to adorn every hip-hop chick’s lobes back in the day.  The emcee packs his mellow verses with references sure to leave old souls smiling, but it’s the younger set that should be paying the closest attention—after all, it’s your job to bring that retro style back into the spotlight.  Wear those door knockers with care, though; we at DJBooth.net won’t be held responsible for any unfortunate run-ins with coat hooks.

This song first appeared on the Independent Chart on June 15, 2009

When I read the title I thought to myself is he talking about the knocker earrings? And he sure is. This song reminds me of a neo soul climate and I like it.

41 weeks in and still going strong. K can do it all. Serious tracks with a message, club bangers, ladies jams. This guy is going to have a very successful career when he starts dropping albums.

Mane this dude be on it. He stay makin bangin music but I can't lie, I didn't know what he was talkin' bout until I seen the pic of the earrings LOL Anyway, this blend of Jazz and Hip-Hop remind of rap music from the 90's but it's still fresh for the '09. Keep doin' ya thang thang Sparks.

@that1kid13 - How is 41 not close to 52? We are talking 11 more weeks; that's the tail end, my friends.

Love the beat, love the vibe, love the... everything.

I hate to say it again but i have to.... HE SOUNDS THE SAME IN EVERY SONG!!!!
Production is very chill and his rhymes are nice but the DELIVERY is very important and he should of rapped a little slower more with the beat instead of rapping fast!! Truth be told i am still not on the K. Sparks bandwagon due to the fact he does not keep my attention again for the reason of HIS DELIVERY!!!!

Who stepped on Z's shoes today? He on fire ya'll =) Cheer up fam! K.Sparks new mixtape is incredible. His vibe with the jazz music is seemin to be the next movement. I for@ot to say, D.O.A. Honestly sounds sonicly alot like Needs Vs. Wants. I would love to see k. sparks si@n with @ood Music. Can you ima@ine him on a track with Common and Kanye?

@LeWy You are not listening well, you should go back and listen to Spittaz 3, Retarded and other Manic Mondays songs and hear a flow change. You sound like a broken record playing over and over.

K. Sparks is the man. Dude is fire fam, he spits on anything. Banger

@DJ Z - Eleven weeks is a long time though. Lol that's almost three months. ANYWAYS...

I am pretty much the opposite of my man LeWy on this one. I still like K's flow; it still hasn't managed to get old for me yet. But I do not like the production. It sounds a bit like elevator music. It kinda makes me want to go to sleep, to be perfectly honest. I like the harder side of K better. Can't wait to hear that side again.

What bowwserr said except the fact that K's songs are re-listenable (if thats a word) so it will grow on me... A LOT.

Nice work against the "Jazzy" beat. Clean track. This is going to take a few more times for me to grab a hold of this.
