- Kevin Brereton (born February 20, 1972), better known by his stage name k-os, is a Canadian rapper, singer, songwriter and record producer. His given name may also be cited as Kheaven, a spelling he later adopted. The alias "k-os", spelled with a lower case "k", was intended to be less aggressive than the pseudonyms of other rappers whose names were all upper case, such as KRS-One. It is an acronym for "Knowledge of Self," although in a later interview he said that it originally stood for "Kevin's Original Sound. " k-os' music incorporates a wide variety of music genres including rap, funk, rock, and reggae. The lyrics frequently focus on promoting a "positive message" while at times expressing criticism of mainstream hip hop culture's obsession with money, fame and glorification of violence. A musician as well as a producer, k-os has written and produced nearly every part of all four of his albums. k-os usually performs with a live band, something that is uncommon in the hip hop genre. He sometimes plays guitar and keyboard both during live performances and in the studio. k-os received his first musical exposure with the single "Musical Essence", released in 1993. After the release of his second single "Rise Like the Sun" in 1996, he withdrew from the industry because he was dissatisfied with his musical style. He reappeared briefly in 1999 and released his debut album Exit in 2002. The album received positive reviews but sold relatively few copies. He released his second album Joyful Rebellion in 2004, which received platinum status in Canada. A third album, Atlantis: Hymns for Disco, was released in 2006 and also went platinum. His most recent album, Yes!, was released in 2009.
- k-os ist ein kanadischer Hip-Hop-Musiker. Sein Künstlername ist auch ein Akronym für „Knowledge of Self“.
- Il suo soprannome "k-os" si pronuncia come "chaos" ed è un acronimo di "Knowledge of Self", tuttavia successivamente in una intervista lo stesso artista ha dichiarato che si tratta dell'acronimo di "Kheaven's Original Sound". La sua musica incorpora una vasta gamma di generi diversi, non limitandosi a rap, funk, rock e reggae. Le sue liriche si focalizzano frequentemente sulla promozione di messaggi positivi e nello stesso tempo mette in atto una critica alla cultura hip hop imperante, basata sull'esaltazione del denaro, della fama e della glorificazione della violenza. Musicista, rapper e produttore, k-os ha scritto e prodotto larga parte dei suoi tre album, esibendosi e producendo i suoi lavori in compagnia di una vera live band, caratteristica non comune nel genere hip hop. Lo stesso artista in alcune occasioni suona chitarra e tastiere. k-os ha ottenuto i primi successi musicali grazie al singolo "Musical Essence" pubblicato nel 1993. Dopo la realizzazione e pubblicazione del secondo singolo "Rise Like The Sun" nel 1996 si ritirò dall'impresa ritenendosi insoddisfatto del proprio stile musicale. Riapparve brevemente nel 1999, successivamente pubblicò il suo album di debutto Exit nel 2002, che ricevette recensioni positive ma ebbe scarsi dati di vendita. Pubblicò il suo secondo album Joyful Rebellion nel 2004, migliorando decisamente le vendite ed ottenendo il disco di platino in Canada. Joyful Rebellion ricevette anch'esso recensioni positive ma fu criticato per l'eccessiva argomentazione sullo stato dell'hip hop. Il terzo album dell'artista canadese, Atlantis: Hymns for Disco, è stato pubblicato nel 2006 ottenendo buone critiche anche in Italia dove la commercializzazione è comunque rimasta legata ai negozi di genere.
