On this track we have October’s Very Own, Drizzy Drake. Toronto stand up!!

K. Sparks Manic Monday’s

I know I know its Tuesday but it was Thanksgiving up here on Monday so it threw off my whole concept of days. So take the tardy slip and enjoy some new ish from my man K. Sparks..

“This record is real laid back on some jazz/Hip Hop fusion tip…It covers various topics from police brutality to me dealin with my own personal inner demons…Moe Productions did the beat, and it’s real captivating…Nostalgic will be a song that is put on The Blue Tape…I plan on droppin that project along with The Red Tape within the same time frame…The Blue Tape will consist of various laid back jazz/Hip Hop fusion songs produced mainly by Moe Productions…I’ll make sure ya’ll get that as well when it drops.” -K. SPARKS
