In his exclusive interview with our own DJ Z, K. Sparks revealed that his lyrical well tends to run dry when he’s low on inspiring beats. Such was the case when Sparks came up with the idea for Manic Monday number 24; after putting down his pen to watch some bootleg DVDs, he came across a Samuel L. Jackson flick in which the actor states that he is the Genesis (anyone know what movie that could be?). Struck by inspiration, Sparks sat down to check his inbox, and found a brand new beat by T-Mos; the rest, as they say, is history. Over the Darkside producer’s cinematic, tension-fraught instrumental, the Queens emcee puts a Biblical spin on the aggressive, punchline-driven bravado that has become his trademark. Though Rap Saviors saw Sparks expressing messianic ambitions, the emcee defines himself here as half angel and half demon, crafting a possibly blasphemous but definitely dope record that will have listeners waiting with bated breath for his next set of lyrical revelations.

Damn the production on this is fire with the combination with all the sounds! T-Mos did a wonderful job and K.Sparks makes it even better with the lyrics. His flow is hella dope and I like how he gets at other rappers. Dis is my shit!!

K sparks is a very underated mc, who really needs to come out with a cd that is not a mixtape. This track goes real hard, K.sparks is a very creative and unique artist, and i commend him 4 that. This has a nice beat to it, his flow is great, and the lyrics are excellent. Its a banger. Keep it up K. Sparks!!!!

That production is unreal. F-ing unreal sound, very creative.
Sparks continues to prove himself. at times i don't feel him, but his flow grabbed me instantly on this one, and the lyrics are off the wall. I saw all these 5* and thought "no fckn way". but damn i can't think of anything else to give this song. it's way above banger, excellent music. |

He is nice on this beat in a mid-90's type of way...Sparks does pretty good with his flow on here. The chorus is OK. He has a good delivery, but nothing really off the wall or out of the ordinary to me here. I will throw it into rotation just barely, but the freestyle from Sparks is HARDER than this!

Punchlines are always there for k sparks. He has a way of always saying clever lines that stand out. The beat was great as well. Not a classic to me. But it is a song that bangs well. 4 stars

This was definitely blasphemous off top. Let me say that off top.
Now, on to the song. The production was illy! No doubt! K.Sparks was cool. Rotation it goes. |

Major labels should be all after K. Sparks... he's becoming legendary with these Manic Mondays only! Such an appealing delivery and powerful lyrics!
I love the production (percussion?! wow!). K. Sparks + T-Mos is a certified heat! |

I've noticed a lot of improvement from K Sparks over these Manic Mondays, especially with his flow. Some beats have been hotter than others, but thats another story. This one flows just like I said, 4 star monster.

This is just too dope. Sparks's wordplay on this is crazy, and that second verse had me doing double takes. The production was on fire, and I think we should be looking out for T-Mos as well as K. Sparks.
This is definately classic in my book. I just cant understand why this guy isnt signed yet. Someone needs to give this guy a record deal, immediatly. |

HOT! What else can I say about it? The production is nice, K. Sparks is very nice with the flow on this one, and the hook hits hard. I really like the piano sample used for the beat and the concept of the entire song...

Seriously. When i first heard the piano, i stopped the song, called up one of my friends and told him to come to the site. Me and him have been hip hop fans for a long while now, and this is easily the best we've heard. WHEN IS K. SPARKS GETTING A FLIPPING RECORD DEAL, I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS DUDE AINT SIGNED YET!

Also, a random thought. The piano does sound like DJ Khaled's It's A Problem, did T-Mos sample it or not know that it was in another song?

the piano is a sample from the Silvers. an old soul group (do your research). and honestly... who used the sample better... me or khaled? i rest my case. K. Sparks + T-Mos = Certified Heat
