k-os..... mind cleansing

There often comes a time when current affiars crowd a person's thoughts, and depending on the individual, they will resort to something that sooths them, something thats familiar to them and something that detox's their brain perhaps. MUSIC is a healer. No questions asked no answers required.

Jay-z is, and will always be THE NO.1 to me, but in terms of an artist that delivers spiritual message and meaning, life lessons, guidlines, morals and clarity in so many records; then there's no better in THE WORLD today than k-os. The man is a gift, unfamiliar globally and certainly never mainstreamed (thank god) and thats just the way he should be. I feel like i could write for hours about this human, alas.. a summary will do. Continue if you will...


K-os
k-os " knowledge of self " the clue's in his title really, he refused to release an ablum for years because he never felt what was being produced was his truth, regardless of the money he would make. Thankfully the day came when k-os found himself and his true voice, and has since released 4 albums mixing the forms of rap, funk, hip hop, swing and reggae. the focus being that every track promotes a positive message. The man however does not promote himself as a never swearing, never testing goody-two-shoes, he simply chooses to avoid writting about drugs, guns and easy women. Simple

Those people..
to 'those people' who say they wont listen to rap because its all the same old pointless delivery. GO AND HEAR K-OS, is and will always be my first response ( even over jay-z to these people ) his variation of verse, beats and rhymes put him above anybody else in terms of multi-talent... have a listen to a few tracks. and HEAR the lyrics!



" im just a man doing the best i can, i might fall short but i LOVE the unseen hand "



4.3.2.1 what we fighting 4.3.2.1 I dont know what for..




For anyone who's read here before, k-os may ring a bell to you.. below this somewhere should be a blog entry that I took from the k-os website forums and it discusses the process of 'becoming'.. might not sound too interesting from one word. yet if you read it I guarentee it will teach you something, and prove relevance to YOU.

This week my itunes has only played k-os, every song, looking for all the small messages that just might make my day a little easier. Hopefully you have something that purifies you're clouded visions ( ok sounding too preachy.. ) but hey, if you dont, I might have just helped you out!
