new k-os single

let me say that i think k-os is underrated by everyone, including myself. i don't listen to him nearly as much as i should, which explains why i am months behind in keeping up with his new material.

k-os is one man, kevin brereton, a torontonian who's been active in the canadian hip-hop scene for over 15 years. his alias stands for 'knowledge of self,' and he genre-jumps and mixes rap, funk, rock and reggae. he is known to be critical of mainstream hip-hop's glorification of violence, money and fame. whenever i think of k-os, i think of a line from a streets song: around here we say birds, not bitches.

this march sees the release of k-os' fourth full-length album, yes!, and with it the awesome new single '4 3 2 1' (released in december 2008). the video is so good. SO GOOD!
