February 7, 2013 (Los Angeles, CA) -- Nettwerk Records is excited to announce the two-disc release from the award-winning and incredibly talented Canadian hip-hop artist k-os.  k-os digitally releases BLack On BLonde in the US through Crown Loyalist/Nettwerk Records.  The double album is a cohesive collection of two records; one of rock tunes and the other of old-school hip hop jams.

Watch The Official Music Video For "NYCE 2 Know Ya" Here:

Recorded at Hayden Christensen’s deserted Laurel Canyon mansion, BLack on BLonde is the most personal and revealing album of his career. “My friends say this is the record I’ve been waiting my whole life to make, there’s a confidence now,” says k-os. “People don’t generally want to take things too far.  And I felt trapped by my birth into the music industry as a hippy or folk hip-hop singer; I’m over that feeling.  It was time to delve deep and write an album (or two) that truly reflects all facets of myself.  This album is a celebration of that.”

BLack on BLonde features exciting collaborations from a varied array of guests, including Black Thought (The Roots), Travie McCoy (Gym Class Heroes), Emily Haines (Metric), Corey Hart, Sebastien Grainger (Death From Above 1979), Juno Award-winning Canadian rock singer/songwriter Sam Roberts and many others.  Always innovative, provocative and fearless,k-os showcases said versatility by singing and playing drums, guitar and bass throughout the album.

Listen To Selections From The Album Here:

 The multi-talented and twice-Platinum k-os has toured with Drake, won a Source Award, multiple Juno and Much Music Video Awards (with a staggering combined 34 nominations!), and is Grammy-nominated for his collaboration with The Chemical Brothers on their single “Get Yourself High.”  Despite these successes, k-os continues to challenge himself, saying, “I consider myself to be hip hop’s first alternative/emo-rapper and now it feels like the game’s finally caught up to me.”
