K-OS

An emcee/singer/producer from Toronto, k-os comes with a fresh approach, flirting with numerous musical styles (soul, rock, reggae) and delivering consistently sharp, intelligent lyricism. Joyful Rebellion is his second LP, and an excellent offering for fans of progressive, envelope-pushing hip-hop.

Whether crooning or rhyming, this Trinidad-born Canadian can be as wordy and abstract as
the next underground MC. But even as he deploys left-field samples and imitates Bob
Marley, Joyful Rebellion gives alt-rap humanism a good name.
