- Album: The Trilogy Chapter 2 [Presented by Kevin Nottingham]
When you're as good at what you do as reader favorite, freestyle series contributor and all-around on-the-mic powerhouse K. Sparks, do you really need a concept in order to craft a high-caliber cut? Nah – for proof, just take a listen to the Queens phenom's latest mixtape leak, a joint whose premise is as basic as it gets: “We be Kickin Rhymes, we be kickin rhymes, we be kickin we be kickin we be kickin rhymes...” And so on. A new addition to the artist's roster of producers, Gym Crow proves a perfect match for Sparks' style, serving up a sunny, summery, keyboard-driven sample as the emcee delivers his agile, allusive bars. Frequent partner-in-rhyme J.D. (True Dat, Rider...) takes center stage on the second and fourth verses, mixing wit with spirituality: “The present has my afterlife in check, you can cash that.” Fans can find this cut and plenty more of Sparks' collaborative work on the Kevin Nottingham-presented second installment of The Trilogy; the Booth-sponsoredChapter 1 is, of course, still available for streaming and download!
