K. Sparks - My City ft. Julius Francis
Artist: K. Sparks
Featuring: Julius Francis
Producer: Corey Jackson
Album: Manic Mondays (#25)
Label: Unsigned
Throughout his Manic Mondays series, K. Sparks has demonstrated a willingness to ruffle the feathers of, well, just about everyone, and nowhere has this been more apparent than last week’s entry, Genesis, on which the Queens rapper made a case for his own half-angel, half-demon lineage. Installment number 25, My City, sees the emcee’s feet once again planted firmly on the streets, but heads hungry for lyrical controversy will not be disappointed – one of the first lines out of his mouth is a Chris Brown name-drop that will have many listeners picking their lower jaws up off the floor. Corey Jackson‘s beat, centered around subdued, tension-building percussion, allows Sparks’ lyrical barbs to take center stage, while Julius Francis backs the rapper up with a melodic hook. After 25 weeks of new material, K. Sparks is still able turn heads and raise eyebrows – can he outdo himself once again on number 26?

reserving my opinion of K. Sparks till he actually drops an album. Should be good if he does get a deal for one.
Sorry Ike, Chris Brown is the NEW GENERATION! |

Oooo, the vibe is heat. That hook is dope. This is radio single material for K.Sparks.
Richard, you said: One of the first lines out of his mouth is a Chris Brown name-drop that will have many listeners picking their lower jaws up off the floor? C'mon fam. Not even. That was not clever at all. We've BEEN saying that (at least since last Sunday...lol). Shoot...had me all excited. Naw, but in all seriousness, this was a decent joint from Sparks, though some of the lyricism doesn't stand out. |

Ha, didn't say it was clever - personally, I was just surprised to hear him openly mocking the situation in his lyrics, not to mention saying, "I'll hit a chick with the quickness &c" But no, nothing super clever about that

I am going to tip-toe around the now-controversial CB line...
Sparks just has that knack for making enjoyable music. Great wordplay (pointed out earlier by Devin Sage) as always and a solid feature accompaniment from Francis.

Dang that Chris Brown line was not expecting that at all. Liking the beat kind of different. Lyrics are good as usual. Julius Francis fits well on this track.

I like the Laraina Bobbit line. Sparks is clever with his words. When is an album dropping from him??
