KO has released his first album titled "Let's Blaze" As a title, this may throw some people off from listening to it right off the bat, but you don't use this title if you really care. His music has a laid back sound that a reggae artist seems to incorporate in their music while also rapping. It has a bit of a jump from genres, like he isn't quite sure what he wants to do in his music and still trying to find his exact sound. He has a similar sound to that of Kazzer or Bedouin Soundclash or even older Walk Off The Earth. If you mixed those, you'd an idea of the sound. We think it's good, but not a star, hit sound. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded quite well, and sounds great. This album is crisp, clear, and you can hear everything, which makes it one of the bright spots of the album. The instrumentation here isn't anything that is really going to jump out at you, it's more just standard regular playing. He can certainly play, but in this type of music, the playing isn't a huge deal so it won't really affect the overall outcome. Now onto the vocals and lyrics. The vocals on this album are not bad, not holy jump out at you, but not bad. He can sing, and he can certainly do the hip hop thing, and you can hear him quite clearly, but the laid back vocal is what most people like here. With the lyrics, KO sings about drugs, smoking up and stories about bad times/broken homes. This is more geared toward the blue collar working city for sure, so that would be the target for this album. If you are looking for a single for this album, give the song "Capable" your attention. This is the best song on the album, but it doesn't quite give the album a total overall representation for the other songs, so we would suggest listening to another song as well to get the feel of the album. KO has made a debut album that has the smoking, being chill person in mind. This album certainly isn't for everyone, but it does catch a crowd. We feel that once a cohesive album comes out, we can't really say how KO will do. We can't wait to see whats next. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think about it.
