K-Os – Yes!

Say yes to Yes! K-Os’s newest album, Yes!, delves the artist further into the unknown realms of hip-hop’s depths. Like K-Os says himself on the first track, “Mr. Telephone Man,” “It’s a long way down.” This underground Canadian hip-hop mastermind is one in a billion as he creates a unique sound using a wide mix of genres that is something…beautiful.

There are so many words and so many synonyms that all describe the same thing: greatness. Yes, this is the next man to break minds as he explores genres and tears down walls with a wonderful mystery of sounds and illusions created by what seems like the one true hip hop head left in the game. K-Os isn’t playing by their games; he chooses to rap about the positive side of life. Full of exuberance and true grace, he is calling out all the fake rappers in the game and challenging them to do better, to meet him on a higher plain. With this album K-Os has created another in a long long line of classic albums. It’s full of funk, r&b, hip-hop, alt. rock, soul and great blues riffs.

This album is a must for people who love good music and are sick of the pestilence cast upon rap and hip-hop, this gluttonous culture of drugs and money that has twisted our once beautiful girl of hip-hop into a beast; luckily for all of us there is someone out there like K-Os to ask us what for. With 4-3-2-1 K-Os has cemented himself in my mind as one of the greatest voices for our generation, asking us, “What we fighting for?”

I hope everyone has the opportunity to just listen and check out some K-Os sometime because this shining star is the Marvin Gaye or Bob Marley of our generation. In a turbulent time when our blossoming generation is growing up even as we grow scared because of all the hate, I ask you to let K-Os disperse all of that hate because it’s all love when you’re listening to him. And then…K-Os turns it on with tracks like, “Zambony,” taking hip-hop back to its roots like turning on a switch. K-Os is an extraordinary gift to music; just take a listen, check out his myspace, google the guy, whatever you have to do, but just check him out, this dude deserves it. I would just like to thank K-Os for making music that is fun to listen too and for renewing my love of hip-hop. My Rating 9-10…(It was so short was my only problem; at only 38 minutes long I wanted more.)
