Can't Fly Without Gravity is the sixth studio album by Canadian rapper k-os. The album originally was to be released on August 28, 2015 through Dine Alone Records, but was pushed back until September 4, 2015.[1] The entire album was released over Spotify prior to its release date.[2] The album cover is a reference to the poster of the 1983 film Vacation.
In an interview with Global News on August 26, 2015, k-os indicated that the title paralleled the negativity of "haters" to the downward force of gravity. In both situations, one must deal with these forces to go beyond them.[3] He succinctly expressed the notion saying, "the forces which pull you down are simply put there to inspire you to rise above them."[4]
On August 6, 2014, the track "WiLD4TheNight (Ego Land)" was released. The song was written in Trinidad;[5] the music video was shot there as well.[6]
