K. Sparks Presents: "Super Senior" Mixtape



"The Queens, New York recording artist chose the album title Super Senior as a metaphor for individuals that continue to repeat certain stages of life without making any significant progress. “As we all know, a Super Senior is a person that has been in school for a while and has failed to graduate. I wanted to create a conceptual album that told a story, but at the same time provided a message.” Super Senior is an eclectic blend of music that features guest contributions from Pugs Atomz, Julius Francis, Threatz, Jeff Chery, D. Julien, Tina Quallo, and Dave Barz. Production credits include Kurser, Pajozo, T Mos, Claps, DJ King Flow, Haze, Jae Monee, Hannibal King, Thelonious Martin, and Kevin Fountain. Super Senior is a free album download that stretches the boundaries of conventional Hip Hop music to provide listeners with an entertaining experience." - DJ Booth
