With his fourth album, Canadian rapper k-os continues to blur genre lines, working with everyone from Saukrates to Metric’s Emily Haines.
The affirmatively titled Yes! is strong on positivity, blending hip-hop, soul, folk, and rock in the artist’s inimitable potpourri style. Haines and Dears frontman Murray Lightburn both guest on “Uptown Girl,” while the more misleadingly named “I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman” heavily samples Phantom Planet’s “California.”
K-os touches on his genre-skirting tendencies straight off the bat, opening the album with sampled dialogue from 1989 flick Lean on Me, in which the accusation “Nobody knows what you’re doing!” is responded to with a snappy, “That’s exactly the way I like it.” Listen to the album below and you’ll easily agree.

Nice. Canadian artist, but again you use LaLa so that Canadians can’t listen through your LaLa link. Please find an alternative Music hosting site to host these files – your loyal Canadian readers want to be in the know too!
Thanks.
Love K-os. The album is great, but he has yet to top Joyful Rebellion.
Thanks for putting me up on this but i second Ian request … please use an alternative music hosting site.
