2) A Pop/Rap singer and producer. New York City native K7 had success in the mid-'90s with his fusion of rap, dance hall, and dance. His 1994 album, Swing Batta Swing, spawned the pop hit "Come Baby Come" and a club favorite, "Zunga Zeng." Prior to his solo success as K7, Louis "Kayel" Sharpe was one-third of Latin freestyle group TKA. Both K7 and TKA remained quiet throughout the rest of the '90s before each re-emerged with new albums in 2001. K7's debut album Swing Batta Swing breaks loose with a rare style of rap verging on club or dance music, along with a bit of swing, before Gap commercials made it "hip" again. Everything in the album involves high-speed vocals, usually with high-speed backing beats to accompany. K7 adds in a tiny touch of a Latin flavor with some of the lyrics as well, which can aid in the speed factor that he seems to enjoy. To boot, he throws in some call and response working in absolutely every track. The final component of the album is sexuality, coming forth on "Body Rock," "I'll Make You Feel Good," "Hotel Motel," and "Beep Me." A pair of commercial hits are also on the album, "Come Baby Come" and "Move It Like This," both of which involve a good deal of those call and response patterns, but at a higher speed than most of the tracks, very dance worthy for a club (at least in 1994). Finally, there are a few rewordings of songs from other genres, infused with K7's vision. "Hi De Ho" is an overhaul of Cab Calloway's "Minnie the Moocher" made into a street-tough rap ballad. "Zunga Zeng" is presumably some sort of evolutionary step for Yellowman's "Zungguzungguguzungguzeng." Finally, "A Little Help From My Friends" takes a tiny bit away from the Beatles, again with K7's personal infusion. Overall, the album is noteworthy for the quality of the rap. The only gripe with the album is the similarity of the songs, though that's part of what makes it a good dance album. Though another album never came from K7, this one is probably all that's needed for any given listener or collector.

Come and show me that you missed me
And do the things you never did before
Wrap your arms around me
I'm so happy that you found me
Cuz you're the one that I adore
And nobody could ever truly please you
Cuz no one ever truly cared (no one could ever care)
Reach out for me and I'll be there (go go go go)
Rock
Come on rock my body fast
Hold on and never let me go
Then rock my body slow (Rock my body rock)
Rock
Come on rock my body slow
Hold on and make it last
Then rock my body fast (Rock my body rock)
Kiss me like the last time
Tell me that you'll always be mine
And that no one will take my place
Jealousy's inside me
But my heart and soul will guide me
Cuz with our love there's no time to waste
And I could never be the one to leave you
So I'll make it last for ever (make it last forever)
Trust in me and I will believe you
And we will be together
Rock
Come on rock my body fast
Hold on and never let me go

The lyrics to K7's song Body Rock are about a couple's desire to rekindle their love and passion for each other. The song starts with the singer asking their partner to kiss them and show them that they have been missed. They want their partner to do things they have never done before and wrap their arms around them because they are the one that they adore. The singer acknowledges that nobody could ever truly please their partner as no one ever truly cared for them. However, the singer promises to always be there for their partner and make their love last forever. They suggest that they rock each other's bodies, both fast and slow, to rekindle the passion between them.
The chorus repeats the phrase "rock my body" multiple times, emphasizing the importance of physical touch in their relationship. The lyrics suggest that the couple has had their ups and downs, but their love for each other will guide them through any obstacles. They highlight the idea of trust, promising that they will never leave each other and they will be together forever. The song ends with the singer encouraging their partner to hold on and never let them go, and to rock each other's bodies both slow and fast.
