k-os: Black on Blonde

[Silver Tiger]

It's that time again: It's time for for some k-os up in here. He released his latest album in January and I finally have it (I was holding out for a physical copy and my gf surprised me with an import from Canada- it's easiest to find on Amazon MP3's and iTunes).

Let me sum this album up succinctly: DOPE.

DOPE, DOPE, DOPE.

This is a double album. There's the Black album, which has a hip hop focus. And there's the Blonde album, which has more of a rock focus. Both are highly polished, well-crafted pieces of work. This album has been in production for years and the quality of the songs really shows this.

Enough talk, let's hear some proof:

The album has appearances from Black Thought, Corey Hart, Saukrates, Shad, and others.

I really can't stress how much I love this album right now. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

Thanks for sharing this. I love K-Os but I don't follow him very closely (so I had no idea the new album was out). I like his previous stuff a little better than the tracks you shared, but I'm still definitely gonna get it in the upcoming weeks. I also like to see that there's others out there still buying albums.

This is fire, will definitely be checking this out. Thanks for sharing.

Dope, glad I could share Vic .

AJ: Yeah, I prefer owning the disc as well. I didn't want to put too many of the songs in the OP, but I think you'll dig the album. I think it's his best balance of hip hop and singing yet.
