"Força" is the latest single off DJ K.O.'s EP, Living Out A State of Mind Vol. 3, which showcases Silent Knight's inspirational social commentary and M. Josephine's powerful chorus over an anthemic beat by upcoming Brazilian producer, Laudz.
Keeping with the traditional formatting of the vinyl days, we've got a "B-Side" to liberate for this new Digital 12". "Get 'Em (Remix)" features Silent Knight, Skyzoo & Emilio Rojas trading bars over production from Neenah, an upcoming producer/singer from the Netherlands. This track is taken from DJ K.O.'s upcoming release with Beat*Society, dropping April 6th, titled Master Thieves 02: Picture These Remixes.
DJ K.O. & the Elementality family return with the third installment in a year long series of EP's that will be released on a monthly basis. Living Out A State Of Mind Vol. 3 picks up right where Vol. 2 left off with even more dope new material from Elementality MC's Silent Knight, East, & MadKem, along side fantastic production from Analogic, Laudz, & DaveNotti.

I played the shit out of this album throughout the first quarter of the year, but admit to sleeping on it since with all the other dope music that has come out since. But thanks to DJ K.O. those who missed it, misplaced it, or simply want to cop it again now have a chance to do so.
It's been a year to the day since Silent Knight released his album Holla Burton (The UnMixed Cassette) to the world. Funny how much can change in the music industry over the course of 365 days, yet the album sounds just as fresh today as the day it was released.
With Silent Knight in rare form on the mic and production from the likes of 9th Wonder, Illmind, Jake One, Analogic, Oddisee & M-Phazes to name a few, fans & critics alike have touted Holla Burton as his best release to date.
"Living Out A State of Mind Pt. 2" is the 2nd single off DJ K.O.’s upcoming EP, Living Out A State of Mind Vol. 2, which again pairs up the two original Elementality members: Silent Knight & Analogic. Picking up where Pt. 1 left off, the track continues to document the story of Elementality. Pt. 2 goes back to the days of 2005 where SK, Analogic & DJ K.O. were beginning to establish themselves in the industry.
Keeping with the traditional formatting of the vinyl days, we’ve got a "B-Side" to liberate for this new Digital 12″. While some are becoming familiar with DaveNotti as a producer, "Destroy" introduces the world to him as an emcee. He’s assisted on the boards by fellow Portland, OR resident Hi-Res. The track can be found on their EP, The New Chill. If you happen to sleep on it, don’t worry you can grab a link to download it HERE.
A little over a year ago DJ K.O. burst onto the scene with his debut album Picture This... which featured some of hip-hop's illest emcees and producers. The compilation paired up artists like Talib Kweli, Royce Da 5'9", Phonte, eLZhi and more over beats from the likes of 9th Wonder, Black Milk & !llmind to name a few.
He's now returned to the scene again with Living Out A State of Mind Vol. 1, the first installment of a year long series of EP's that will be released on a monthly basis.
