It isn't easy being an emcee, let alone, being one from Canada. Most are quick to stamp on a label, but it is their own loss because K-Os' sophomore album "Joyful Rebellion" although under-appreciated and overlooked, was one of 2004's best sounding albums. Not that the lyrics were bad, that's not the case at all. Songs like "EMCEE Murdah", "Commandante", "Papercutz", and "One Blood" showcase maturity and the ability to step out of the mainstream box and not cater to its demands. However, what shines best is the eclectic production; ranging from the reggae-rock of "Crucial", old school vibe of "B-Boy Stance" & "Clap Ur Handz", the Latin-flavored "Commandante", and the "old-mixed-with-new" sound of "The Love Song". Also notable is K-Os' versatility; with a sort of "Wyclef Jean"-esque delivery, K-Os can both rap and sing. With that said, there is one thing that tends to bother me; now I'm all for the "rebellion against the superficial materialistic mentality", but K-Os, despite good intentions, tends to be a little overzealous with this particular message; numerous times its either stated or in subtext, regardless, it can get tedious. But in the end, a socially conscious emcee is better than an ignorant one.
