K. Sparks - Leaders
Artist: K. Sparks
Producer: Fero Navi
Album: Read Between the Lines
Label: Unsigned
A Show Off K. Sparks may be, but the Queens rhymesayer’s not just in the game to flaunt his mic skills. Look beneath the braggadocious bluster and twisty flows, and you’ll see a man with a sharp critique of the world around him, and a vision for something better. On the second single off his next Booth-hosted street album, Sparks says what many in the hip-hop game and beyond have undoubtedly been thinking: “We need Leaders.” Flowing over Fero Navi‘s chopped, rockabilly-esque bassline, he pleads with listeners to tear themselves away from Love and Hip-Hop, forget about the wealth and shine, and begin using their critical thinking abilities to solve the many real problems—broken homes, rampant gun violence, et cetera…—currently crying out to be addressed. Heavy? You bet. But I have a feeling heads in the DJBooth will appreciate what the man has to say. Read Between the Lines has yet to receive a release date, but fans can keep it locked for more fresh, thought-provoking song releases leading up to its arrival before year’s end.
This song first appeared on the

 Dope record, but I have to say - the vocal effect that Sparks uses at the top of the song sounds a little fuzzy under headphones. I am usually not a fan of these sort of effects, in general, across the board. They are distracting to me, little benefit.

The lyrical content/message alone stands leaps and bounds beyond what most of these artist are talking about. I think sparks is showing a lot of maturity on the mic. He's always been top notch lyrically but the bars are undeniable. The production knocks as well on this one, but the lyrics are the key component to this song. Great work spizzy.

K. Sparks delivers another great one. I love that his music actually has a point to make and not just the run-of-the-mill music that seems to make its way to popularity these days.
Oh...and the production....love it! |

not feeling the prod, but it sounds more like a mixing issue in my opinion. I need to delve deeper into the lyrics.
