It’s the beginning of another week and you know what that means… that’s right, the newest addition to K. Sparks’ listener-acclaimed Manic Mondays series has hit the Booth!  While many of Sparks’ recent records find the emcee shifting to a harder flow (see Hard Lemonade), on #15, the Jamaica, Queens native takes it easy, gazing at the Rain outside.  Bringing all that has troubled him out into the open, Sparks’ admits to being a victim of racial profiling.  In-house producer Kurser accents Sparks’ melancholia with a piano-driven beat; though some might find it too slow, it serves its intended purpose as “mood music” for those who are feeling down.  Don’t forget to check back Tuesday, when Sparks steps inside the DJ Booth for an exclusive interview.

This song first appeared on the Independent Chart on December 15, 2008

Heeeeey! I'm 1st (Do a dance) LOL Anyway, I am in love with this dude (Well not like that) but I'm really feelin his style of music. Everything he talk about is real and his subject matter is diverse. This joint here is proper. Feelin' the smooth jazzy production and the hook is nice too. Everything he's been on lately has been quality!

Man, I love the production! It's off the chains! Kurser is crispy with the soulful piano sampling. I can definitely vibe out to this one just on some chill ish. Nothing much more to say about this joint. It's smooth.

I think everything has already been said right? This beat is very melodic and sparks blesses it properly. When is the album dropping?

Man, I love it when k sparks raps over these laid back beats, it really highlights his level of diversity when it comes to attacking beats, since week 1 this guy has continued to raise the bar artistically

I have to disagree with everybody else- this to me is not off the chains or hot. This is boring rapping (well, itz decent)on a boring beat- period. Nothing more really needs to be said. It'a a 1.5.

I don't get the relationship between K.Sparks and the Booth. Every song he releases get mad praise. I just don't see why. He's talented, yes. But there's something about his style that I just can latch on too. On one hand I think he is "suffering" from the hype syndrome. As in, he'll always get high score even if the sing is not deserving of it. Maybe it's just me? I always dig new and unique artists. If they music is good I'll listen. So to be fair I'll go back and listen to his tracks again. I don't think it would be fair to rate him right now. Who knows. Maybe I'll see the light and understand.

lol Hoffa is funny. People are entitled to their opinions, unfortunately for them I don't feel their opinions are making any sense at this point. In the words of Lameleon this is nice..like lemonade on ice and shrimp fried rice..so nice i had to play it twice..djbooth haters keep your lips zipped for tonight.

I've been a sparks head for a minute. He is a problem on the mike. Soon they will have to start calling him the problem instead of the future problem

Quoting DJ Jadey: "I don't get the relationship between K.Sparks and the Booth."

... we feature -what we feel- is quality music. If more artists produce quality music and hand deliver it to us (in the form of a series, which is what Manic Mondays are), they too will be featured. Hope that answers your question!

Production is excellent and his voice too but the overall track bored me. I guess it's not my type of song...it's sexy and it's good to listen to it in some occasions, but I wouldn't listen to it every day

Loved It! This was my first time hearing this guy and I loved it. I injoy hip hop blues and jazz. This is my type of music I like something I can relax to and something that gives my mind something to think about. This completely satisfied both. I want to here more!
