Though the brothers Wachowski completely lost me with installments two and there of their Matrix trilogy, I’ll still contend that the original was one damned good action flick. Booth favorite K. Sparks clearly shares my opinion – the latest leak off his and Pajozo’s forthcoming Soul Food mixtape, is inspired by a recent DVD viewing of the ‘99 blockbuster. Sci-fi influence aside, though, The One is more of the laid-back, retro-informed K. Sparks listeners in the Booth and beyond have come to know and love. Pajozo’s lushly-sampled blend of strings, bells, and head-nodding percussion sets the mood for a chilled-out old-school jam, but K. Sparks’ free-associated verses are pure lyrical fire: “I got bars like the state pen, snakeskin, take ten, hatin’, lyrically I break men…” A banging appetizer that, as you might expect, rewards repeat spins, The One will doubtless leave Booth readers even hungrier for the musical feast Sparks and Pajozo will bring to the table on their new, collaborative mixtape, set to hit the ‘net on Thanksgiving (this Thursday, Nov 26).

I agree, the second and third Matrix movies sucked.
But seriously, if I had to nail a select emcee as THE ONE to really make it longterm in this (crazy) industry, I'd put my moola on Sparks. I look forward to eating on Thursday!

Before I even listened to this track I knew it would be dope (K Sparks has earned those high expectations) and he delivered again. More specifically, his rhyme structure on that second verse was nuts, just almonds.

I the beat is alright but it sounds like a 9th wonder rip off of the 6th sense(common)remix beat. However, sparks sounds pretty nice, although lyrically he's not saying much.
