It combines the artists sharp rhymes along with catchy beats, making it a very likable record for many indie hip hop fans.<\/p>\n<p>Sparks didn&#8217;t actually tread on paved roads while trying \u00a0to achieve his dream. In the record, he peels back some of his layers and shares the nitty gritty to his audience; even narrating and answering questions about his thoughts and journey in between some of the tracks.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the cuts like <em>X-Ray<\/em>, get quite personal, as it shares the artists home life at some point. On the other hand, songs like <em>Chi City 2 Queens <\/em>(one of my favorites in the compilation)\u00a0and <em>Senorita<\/em>, add a bouncy charm while<em>\u00a0Purple Cloud<\/em> and <em>Rain<\/em> bring the beat down, exhibiting a more laid-back, thoughtful Sparks.<\/p>\n<p>This Jamaica Queens native has certainly gone far. With a masterful control over his music, K. Sparks has managed to establish himself through tough times and showcase what he&#8217;s got up his sleeve. Certainly a record worth checking out, go ahead and grab the album. It&#8217;s available for free download.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"100%\" height=\"81\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/player.soundcloud.com\/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F20395582\" \/><\/object> <span><a href=\"http:\/\/soundcloud.com\/k-sparks\/chi-city-2-queens-feat-add-2\">Chi City 2 Queens Feat ADD-2<\/a> by <a href=\"http:\/\/soundcloud.com\/k-sparks\">K.
