K. Sparks - Rap 101
Artist: K. Sparks
Producer: DJ Qvali
Album: Untitled DJ Qvali Project
Label: Unsigned
Hope you all have your pens and notebooks at the ready – Rap 101 is in session! Though the title of K. Sparks latest Booth feature, the first leak off a forthcoming street album by DJ Qvali, suggests an entry-level course, the Queens phenom doesn’t waste any time drilling the basics. On the contrary – after a profanity-laced intro, he dives right into the deep end, delivering a characteristically dazzling deluge of wordplay-laced boasts: “I got (w)raps like your local deli with the salads, I got (w)raps like the gas station with the Arabs, I got (w)raps like the mummies in the tombs of Egypt….” Qvali backs the Booth favorite’s edu-taining bars with a piano-led chopped-sample groove (which K. Sparks describes as having a “DJ Premiere vibe”), borrowing quotable lines from Capone-N-Noreaga‘s ‘s Invincible and Gang Starr’s DWYCK on the hook. Listeners with a thirst for knowledge (and high-quality hip-hop) should keep it locked for all the latest on Qvali’s forthcoming mixtape, which has yet to receive either a title or a solid release date.

The title of this song has nothing to do with actually teaching a course in rap, but I honestly couldn't think of a better up-in-coming emcee to do just that. Sparks leads all students of the game by example - he displays quality over quantity and never disappoints. Ever.

Leave it up to Sparks to hold class for emcees. Aspiring rappers, take notes. This is how you flow.

K Sparks is a nasty lyricist. Personally, his voice annoys me but he can't change that. This song has a nostalgic quality. It's a very good song.

The usual fire from Sparks. Wish he got more spins over here on the left coast. Working to change that.
