Though last week’s Tattoo, a frank discussion of race that found K. Sparks at his most serious, was hailed by Booth reviewers as one of his best cuts to date, few will be disappointed to hear that Manic Monday number 27 marks the return of the witty, aggressive K. Sparks we’ve come to know and love. Between the Queens native’s two densely-packed verses, fellow Rap Savior Angelous jumps in to spit his own high-rolling, Trump-referencing 16 (I’ll refrain from making the obvious Jay-Z comparison—whoops, I just made it). Back Down collaborator Dave Barz provides a chilly, arpeggiated beat that gives both emcees plenty of room to breathe, and caps things off with a catchy vocal sample. In addition to being included on the Manic Mondays Vol. 2 mixtape (set to drop alongside entry number 34), this cut will be featured on Sparks and Angelous’ forthcoming Queens vs. Brooklyn mixtape, due out in the next few weeks.

The beat is really creative and has a nice feel to it. His lyrics come hard as usual and he comes with that crazy flow! The hook fits well and sounds pretty hot! I like Angelous flow on this he is solid. banger!

I think its a pretty safe bet that Angelous is going to here Hova comparisons forever, but you can tell he tries his best to separate himself from what made J the rapper he was. Nice work, Ang. As for Sparks, its a broken record - solid every week.

K. Sparks never fails!
What would happen if he recorded an album produced by Dr. Dre?! ;) You know what I mean... It's incredible how he manages to come with so many good beats from underground sources though. |

The amount of good beats this guy gets from unknown producers is amazing. Someone give Cool & Dre or Jim Jonsin a call

That's K. Sparks for you, perhaps not at his best but the consistency he brings week in to the DjBooth makes it a Banger!!!

Can't ever give this man less than a 4/Banger. He has constantly witty lyrics, and he never seems to run out of them. Also, dude knows how to change his flow up and make it sound great every time (he manhandled the beat wit his flow on the last verse) Angelous was nice on here and the production was cool and supported both of their flows well.
