Title: K-OS' new album, "JOYFUL REBELLION" is fuckin tite!
Post by: Suga Foot on August 24, 2004, 09:50:47 PM
If you're a fan of Talib Kweli, Mos Def, De La Soul, or the Roots, check this guy out!  He's toured with India Arie, The Roots and De La Soul.  His last album "Exit" won "Best International Album" at the 2003 Source Awards.  He actually uses instruments on his songs (rather than computer programs).  He's been called 'buzzworthy' by both MTV and BET.  They're saying he's the next big thing in hip hop.  I really don't think he'll blow up huge, but anything can happen I guess.  You can see the video for "B Boy Stance" at www.k-osmusic.com

The album came out today in Canada, it comes out in the States and overseas next month.  Buy it if you see it.

Oh shit he did "Superstar"?

I saw him on nickelodeon and quickly Phh'd and flipped the channel, I figure any video I see on Teenick isnt worth checkin'.  I'll check this tho if he has that Mos Def Talib Kweli Concious feel, besides I've been looking for something while I wait on that new Mos Def next Month and new Talib Kweli.

I'm putting together a "Best Of K-OS" album right now.  I got 15 of my favorites on there, including a rare saukrates remix of "Top Of The World" and an unheard song called "blindspot".

K-os is definitely a dope rapper and singer. "Exit" is one of my favorite albums of the past couple years. If the new album is as good as the last, it's definitely gonna be a CD i'm gonna buy. I hope he gets more popular with this shit
