Rap-Up.com || Video: K. Rose – ‘Sleep When I’m Dead’

Cool & Dre have earned their hip-hop credentials by producing for Lil Wayne, Game, and Fat Joe, and now they explore new territory with their new artist K. Rose. The 19-year-old singer-songwriter, born Katrina Rose Booker-Tandy, is signed to the producers’ Epidemic Music label on Interscope Records and managed by Queen Latifah’s management company.

Born in Hialeah, Florida, the curly-haired blonde dances to her own beat in the video for her debut single “Sleep When I’m Dead,” which she wrote and produced with Steve Angello (Swedish House Mafia).

She wants to encourage others to never give up. “Everyone around you may tell you what you need to do with your life, but only you can write your own life story,” said K. Rose, who is currently recording her debut album.

Is she next to blow? Watch and weigh in below.

Cool & Dre tryna get that pop $$$!!!!! I can see this girl end up getting big, she dancing her ass off in this video. K Rose got potential, I can see her and Nicki together in a video. Rita Ora might have to watch her back

Lol @MinajRules2012 she don’t look dead. Honestly she’s kinda cute. Nicki fans ain’t trying to see no new chic come up. I don’t know but I kinda dig this one. Every time I was going to stop the video, I kept watching and then that breakdown at the end came on and it got live. She got potential.

I like it. I especially love that she isn’t comparable to anyone out right now. Tho she does remind me of a young Kelis with the hair and hard attitude but she dances which makes her different. I’m buying her over Rita so far.

I like it. She’s different. The lyrics are pretty basic but that’s what makes hits these days. Also, she wrote and co-produced the song which gives her points with me. And she can move. She may actually have some real raw talent so for now, I will stay tuned to her.

Not trying to be a hater or anything, but I did not like this whatsoever. I enjoy listening to pop, but this is just terrible. She sounds like Ke$ha when she does her ‘rap-singing’ bit :/

[Reply]
Um.Well.Sure
August 19th, 2012 at 2:06 am
Only thing good about the song was the chorus. I couldn’t tell if she wanted to be like Kelis or Ke$ha, but neither worked. Although, she can dance really well.

This chick is dope! The hair reminded of Kelis/Wynter Gordon. The dancing is on point and the beat is on fire! I hope she isn’t one of those artists were they release one song and either fade away or get dropped or their album shelved! I hope to see more of her and hear some more songs soon! Maybe her album will come out next year as she’s recording it now?!
