FEATURED ARTIST: Who is Sparkz?

   The dude with the mic in this picture, is possibly the best thing to ever happen to the Hip-Hop Nation. His name is Sparkz and he’s more than an artist the man is a (dare I say) performance God! When I 1st saw him perform in early 2010, it was clear that he has a talent that will certainly take him to higher places. His lyrical content requires close attention, and above all he sounds great on recordings and live (something many “artists” are lacking).

   I recently had the opportunity to work with him in the studio for the “I’m Fly (REMIX)” (AVAILABLE ON iTunes NOW) and in the studio he’s a machine. Using his trusty Blackberry it took only minutes for him to type the verse to this club banger.

  If you never do anything else in your life, I recommend attending a Sparkz show. You’ll enjoy the story he begins with him, the interludes between and the energy. Personally, I learned a lot as an artist by being a spectator to his performances. Oh yeah, and between you and me, be on the lookout for a another CD headed your way from this artist. Follow him on twitter for updates!

   So who is Sparkz? In my opinion a Hip-Hop genius who knows how entertain a crowd. Who does he sound similar to? Nobody else, he is a original individual that you’ll have to discover on your own like I did.

NEW TRACK: Coop Da Beatman “Fuck It (It’s Whatever)”

   Like I said before that there is tons of talent in Non-Metropolitan cities and Coop Da Beatman is another example of this. Coop is a lethal musical triple-threat! As a powerful artist, producer, DJ there’s nothing musically that he can’t accomplish. With numerous beats sold, CDs published by the SEC DJs (google it) and some of the smoothest music in the South. He has definitely earned a spot on my iPod playlist.

UPDATE – Twist ‘Certified Choe Chaser 2’ & New Track

  

   Black Friday is commonly known as the 1 day of the year that you’ll get your ass cussed out on, if you happen to reach for the last Sony 42 inch TV at Walmart. However, this year it’ll be known for the day that Twist released the ‘Certified Choe Chaser: Part 2’ hosted by the DJ King of Knoxville Trigga Da DJ.
   In the last interview Twist gave us no info on the date of release. So we were left in the dark until he announced from his Twitter page that full-length mixtape/LP hybrid will be ready for ‘Black Friday’!!


Check out this NEW TRACK called “My Life Is Like A Movie”

Twist - The Certified Choe Chaser

   As you can see my brother Twist goes HARD!! This rising star in the Hip-Hop world has been the topic of discussion throughout his city of Chattanooga, TN. With a plethora of hits under sleeve including “Cocaina”, “Drop Top”(ft. Killer Mike of Grand Hustle), and the TN Street Anthem “Flip It”(ft. Lil' Wyte & Jellyroll). It’s clear that he is on a mission, for fame and success.
   Let’s not forget THE MIXTAPES! In August 2010, he released his full featured mixtape ‘Play My Shit’ and to date it has an impressive 27,000+ downloads (excluding hard copies)! Currently, he has the Nation waiting for the ‘Certified Choe Chaser 2’ mixtape. It’s the follow-up to 2009’s ‘Certified Choe Chaser’ featuring hit single “Rubberband Boy” (produced by the iconic Drumma Boy). He has codenamed it “The Big One” but in this interview gave no details on it’s release.

However, he did give us information on how he’s going to end 2010. December 16-18 will be a 3-Day filming to his lead single “Flip It” with both Lil Wyte , Jellyroll and members of Hypnotize Minds in attendance. Where will this take place you might ask? No place other than his hometown of Chattanooga, TN (see poster for details). It has been said by A&Rs that it is hard to find talent in Non-metropolitan cities. Twist is a major exception to that rule.
To end the interview we asked Twist, “How would you feel if you were signed to a major label deal today?” He said, “Happy as hell! I could do things to further my career, put my team on, and help my family.” Then we asked, “What would you do with the signing bonus money?” He stated, “I bet you I Can Flip It!”

Young Roc – Orientation 3 [11/2010 Mixtape of the Month]

   Young Roc and his ‘Orientation 3’ mixtape has been out since July 2010 so I’m thinking to myself.. Why am I just now discovering this artist? The dude is a devastating Rap/Producer combo with a story to tell. Just listen to his mixtape and you’ll see.

   The CD sounds like something Drake would do but with Young Roc’s unique choice of words. It has a classic sound, a feel good effect and deep lyricism. This is definitely something that will be in my iPod for weeks to come!

[The World says – 4/5 stars]

What I've Been Working on?

"What you been doing?" Is one of the most popular questions that I get. My answer, working hard! Both of my careers have been on upward flights since my arrival on iTunes, and plan to keep it that way. I've been working on new music. One CD is complete and I'm starting on a new one. Check back in Tuesday for more information on this! But before I end this message I will say 'Flux Capacity' drops on Black Friday!!!
