K. Sparks - I Know
Artist: K. Sparks
Producer: Kurser
Album: Manic Mondays (Week 45)
Label: Unsigned
If the music industry were, say, a video arcade full of the ‘80s classics, K. Sparks’ initials would likely top the high score list of every machine in the house. Simply put, he’s got the skills. In reality, unfortunately, it’s more like a ring toss at your local carnival midway: flashy and inviting, possibly rigged, and run by individuals one may or may not be able to trust (No offense to any label execs or carnies reading). Of course, Sparks is driven to elevate his game in spite of the haters and the industry’s non-meritocratic nature, and I Know finds him once again annihilating the competition with acrobatic ease. Like many of his recent features, Manic Monday #45 spotlights the rapper’s expanding array of head-spinning flows, and Kurser‘s uptempo mix of clipped percussion and videogamey synths perfectly accents his unpredictable rhymes. Packed with tightly-wound punchline lyricism, this track showcases restless creativity from both contributors, and, topped off with a few memorable vocal effects, proves one of the catchier MM entries in recent memory. Tune in every Sunday evening/Monday for the latest tracks in Sparks’ ongoing series, and watch for his and Angelous’ Queens vs. Brooklyn mixtape to hit our blog in the next two weeks.

sparks ripped a hole in this production. I made a beat with the same sample for one of my artist a few years ago. Either way sparks came with it. Flow is 5 star on this one

Richard was spot on in his assessment of this record... am I back at the arcade on the corner? (I miss that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turles game - I had the top score for 2 weeks!) Sparks is on point here, but then again when is he not?

The beat slams, the raps rip the ish with rapidfire bravado. If forced to point out a particular standout track in the Series, this would be my choice. 'Nuff the @*#$! said.

Can K. Sparks not successfully rip any production? NOPE! THe problem is and i know this is a mixtape song and all but i hope that his actual Album doesn't consist only of punchline "i'm the shit, @*#$! you and your mother" tracks. I've heard a few songs that actual mean something and showcase his flow at the same time. Gotta give it a four for entertainment value.

Damn... SICK flow. Production gets a little old, not sure how many times I could listen to this, but K. Sparks just destroyed this.
5 stars for K Sparks 3 for production |

I like this here. K. Sparks flows so effortlessly in this and the videogame music is new and interesting, it compliments the speed that he is flowing at.

And you say he doesn't switch up his flow? I guess he was listening. How versatile is this dude? His fast flow is crazy, and this beat is trippin me out. I'm sure I would like it as an instrumental, but Sparks destroyed it. This is another artist that needs to be given a solid deal from a Record company. His style is flat out dope.
