K. Sparks - Visual Sound
Artist: K. Sparks
Producer: T-Mos
Album: Manic Mondays (#12)
Label: Unsigned
When we featured K. Sparks’ eleventh Manic Mondays installment, Young Malcolm, last week, some listeners predicted that the emcee would be hard-pressed to top the record. This week, Sparks has done just that with a story of what he calls Visual Sound. Linking two separate stories (one of a woman tormented by sexual abuse, and the other of a man whose all-too-frequent long evenings result in the contraction of HIV), Sparks highlights the common result; the constant question of “Why me?” Over a low-toned, classic-sampled beat by T-Mos, Visual Sound proves Sparks’ true depth as an artist, and his message will undoubtedly make listeners think real hard.

VIBE magazine needs to issue their readers an apology for the new issue. They named the TOP 10 "Freshman" to look out for in the rap game. Clearly, they f*cked up leaving this man off their list. Sparks did it again.
What Up, K? |

This beat somewhat reminds me of a RZA production. I'm loving the content of this song. And the hook is fire! The sound bites on the end are necessary yet horrifying. K. Sparks continues to bring pure heat!

Hoffa is in the buildin. This is that joint! K. Sparks is that dude and I'm happy to see he is gettin the attention he deserves, I remember spinnin this cats music back in 03 tellin cats he's the truth. And I agree with DJ Z, that Freshman list was doo doo, a lot of those guys are very overrated and a lot of talented cats that shoulda been on those covers didn't get the shine they deserve. Either way K will get his just due.

The production caught my ear immediately. K.Sparks definitely out did himself on this one! This sounds like the same sample that Christian Rapper "Phanatik" from "Cross Movement" used for the song "Come Home" (LOOK IT UP!). Sparks really smashed this and T-Mos is mad eclectic for this. The message was ver heavy with social awareness. What more can I say? Or can he say for that matter.

Save something for your album man… :) damn!!! This is some Lupe Fiasco greatness! Amazing production work on every single instrument featured, this is MUSIC, not just rhythm… Yo Z, this “new” old rating system is welcome back! The average rating is more interesting.
