In Rotation: DJ Wally Sparks
DJ Wally Sparks
Sparksfly Ent.
Chattanooga TN
Music: Goapele, Kem, Anthony Hamilton, Sleepy's Theme, Amp Fiddler, T.I., Big Kuntry Kane, Lil Flip, Three 6 Mafia, Bloodraw, and Attitude. (Watch out for these 2), Kenna, Lil Scrappy & Trillville, Amel Larrieux's new joint ,Usher, The Best Of Donald Byrd, UGK's 2nd album Supertight, Scarface, Sizzla, Jah Cure, Vybz Kartel, Sugar Minott, Garnet Silk, Jay-Z, and a gang of mix tapes from Mick Boogie, DJ Jamad, DJ Qool Marv, DJ Smallz, and this guy from Tennessee named Wally Sparks. His shit is kinda wack though.
Magazines: XXL, The Fader, Ozone, Complex, Pro Wrestling Illustrated, King, ESPN The Magazine, and Rolling Out.
Books: I just read Coldest Winter Ever again...for like the 4th time. That nigga Midnight was cool as hell. I'm about to start on Divided Soul: The Life Of Marvin Gaye. Other books I dig are... The 22 Immutable Laws Of Branding, Looking For The Perfect Beat: The Art & Culture Of The DJ, Men Cry In The Dark, The Black Book, I flirted with the chick at Media Play long enough to get her to give me an advanced copy. Musta been the twang, lol.
Movies: I wanna see that City Of God joint. Anything by Kevin Smith, Spike Lee, Martin Scorcese or Steven Soderburgh (except for that weak ass Galataca shit). Otherwise I'm usually lookin at some porn. Ayana Angel is a bad muthafucka!!
Television: "Around The Horn," "Pardon The Interruption," "Rome Is Burning, Best Damn Sports Show Period, "The Justice League," "The Wire," "On The Record with Bob Costas," VH1 Soul, WWE Raw & Smackdown, TNA Explosion, "A Different World" re-runs, and NBA TV. As you can see I watch a lotta sports, because television is pretty damn lame now days.
Hobbies: Counterculture. I'm really into that sticky green stuff.
Style: Clean & Southern. Anything I can rock some icy white sneakers with is cool with me.
Spots: Neyland Stadium in Knoxville TN, Go Big Orange!!, The Premier in Memphis, Isaac Hayes Restaurant in Memphis, The Matrix in Nashville, Vision in Atlanta, The Moon in Tallahassee, The Arena in San Juan Puerto Rico, Bourbon Beach in Negril, Jamaica (I just DJ'd there 2 weeks ago. Aint nothin like gettin crunk on the beach shawty!!!)
Future Plans: Sit on my ass all day, party all nite and get paid for it. Nah, seriously though. I definitely wanna step my mix tape game up and try and get my name poppin on a national level. Get myself on few more stations and make my way into syndication. Continue to travel, and rock parties abroad. "Rap City" is something I would very much like to do, so if anyone has the connect reach out to ya folk.
