King Los Always Had Bars. Now He’s Got Hooks Too. MCs, Beware…(Audio)

Over the last few years, King Los has established himself as an elite MC. When Kendrick Lamar took out an entire generation of MCs with one verse and caused even more to respond to his taking “Control,” it was Los’ verse that Kendrick deemed to be the best reply. Los also had not one, but two of the best Sway in the Morning freestyles of the last couple of years, with each one also being “off the top.” The only thing some questioned was whether he could deliver a song with strong production and catchy hooks.

Over the last few months, that question has been convincingly answered. Los teamed with R. Kelly, one of the best songwriters of the last thirty years, on the ultra-catchy “Glory to the Lord,” and now he’s released the powerhouse “Mind Games.” The song is the trifecta of fearsome lyrics, an instantly sticky hook and hard-bodied production from Soundz. The song is also filled with more than a few subliminals aimed at his competitors. The message is loud and clear: King Los has arrived.
