Happy New Year

Happy New Year everybody! I hope you all had a great 2008, I know I did, and I intend on 2009 being even better! I have a lot of great stuff happening and of course a gang of projects dropping this year. A lot of people hit me inquiring about new mixtapes and when ill be dropping. Well, first off I have a new phone number for anyone to hit me up so I can personally let you know what's happening... that number is 617-671-0670, so hit me anytime.

So about the mixtapes, I have multiple mixtapes that I'm getting ready to drop in the next 2 months that I'm excited about. I am wrapping up an awesome project with my boy Travis McCoy from Gym Class Heroes (if your not familiar, this is an authentic MC that some may not recoginize because he's in a band, but trust me if you were unfamiliar you will definitely be familiar when we drop). Also any true hip hop head will be a fan of the concept we are running with. Shout out to the legend Jazzy Jeff (Hint). Speaking of Travis McCoy, I just finished his cousin Tygas mixtape which has exclusive features Lil' Wayne. I told him that people don't really know much about who he is so we'll be clearing that up and answer some questions on this mixtape. I also linked up with my brother Rick Ross and E-Class to put together a new Poe Boy project featuring Rick Ross, Flo-Rida, Brisco and the Poe Boy roster as well as I just finished a mixtape with Talib Kweli promoting his group Strong Arm Steady.

Anybody that's a fan of my hip pop rockstar mixtape series should be into my 3rd installment which I'm still working on and I have my boy Lil' Jon involved with this one... Last but not least, well at least for the 1st 6 weeks of 2009 the project I'm most proud of and worked the hardest on is my new yet to be titled mixtape album featuring all new production by myself featuring artists like Ludacris, Rick Ross, Jim Jones, Common, Fabolous, D-Block, Supastar L.T., Yung Joc, Lloyd, Ray-J, Sean Kingston, Cassidy, Bun B, Paul Wall, Kardinal Offishall and of course Akon which will be dropping in February. Oh and of course the Clipse will be on this project which you may have already heard the leak titled "Still Got It 4 Cheap" which is the single from this project. All of these things are just to kick off 2009 and get ya'll ready for my official album dropping later in the year. I also have a number of other mixtape projects aside from the forementioned that I'll be dropping a little later with Fabolous and Sean Kingston.

I'll also be introducing to the world my artist who goes by the name of Supastar L.T., we got HITS!!! I will be introducing him to ya'll on that mixtape album project I just mentioned as well as releasing his mixtape simultaneously. Trust me, if you know anything about me then you know I do not get involved with wackness and to be honest I've decided I was not going to work with an artist ever again about 2 or 3 years ago because I've tried many times only to deal with ungrateful, unappreciative, impatient people that don't get it, as talented as they are, they just didn't have faith and it became more of a headache so that was the point I decided to focus on ONLY me instead of trying to make others stars, I mean let's face it, there's no one better to invest in than yourself. I guess it just took me awhile to figure it out. Anyhow I met this dude and was extremely impressed. He's from Houston, lived in New Orleans amnd now resides in my hometown of Boston and incase it ran through you mind, I wouldn't take on an artist because I felt the need to, I got involved because he is that Dope!

I also plan on dragging some more of these rock bands into the mixtape world like the Fall Out Noy project I did. BTW, all of these mixtapes are available for free download on this website (www.clintonsparks.com). Anyhow, I have so much more to share with you all but I'll just leave it at the mixtape update for now. I am in the airport on my way to Shanghai to smash it down for New Years Eve with my boy Ben Lyons and CIROC Ultra Premium Vodka at M1NT, so you know its going to be smash-time in Shanghai. BTW, on New Years day I'm on a tv show with Paula Abdul on MTV titled Paula Abdul's RAH Cheerleading competition, of course, I'm the DJ on the show. Don't forget every week in Las Vegas I do a huge party called SmashTime Saturday's in Body English the nightclub inside the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino along with my partners from the The Daily 10 on E!, Sal, Ben & Catt, come Party with us!! Get Familiar, Sparks, out!

JAM'N 94.5 Summer Jam 2008 in Boston

This past week Boston was on Fire! 1st the Celtics beat out Detroit to make into into the NBA Finals then the #1 radio station in Boston, JAM'N 945 held their annual Summer Jam at the Tweeter Center. The line up was sick and the tickets were sold out. Everyone was on the bill from Rick Ross to Lil' Wayne. Shout out to the JAM'N staff... Shaileen, Geespin, the Ramiro & Pebbles morning show team, Melissa, Chris Tyler, Benny, Pup Dawg, Roy Barboza and of course big guns Cadillac Jack! I was running hectic that whole day from DJing for artists to conducting interviews for SmashTime Radio to introducing my artist Supastar L.T. to all my music buddies and of course clowning around. I DJ'd for Colby O'Donis, Ray-J and Ryan Leslie's performances as well as performed with Jim Jones as hype man and introduced my boy Trey Songs... Nothing feels better than your home town excepting & acknowledging your success and it was incredible to get an awesome response from the crowd of 15,000 people when they introduced me... I'm very proud to be from Boston and I represent it everywhere I go whether I'm on TV or in magazines, websites, radio interviews,etc. Go Sox!!!!! Btw - random thought, I went to go see Dane Cook at Ceasars palace in Vegas a week ago... He is one of the best comedians alive & I'm super proud of his awesome transitions to movies. Anyhow, back to Summer Jam. I got tons of footage here on the site for your viewing pleasure, so enjoy and Get Familiar with Boston!

In the studio with Akon and Colby O

After performing with Akon at Rehab at The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, we went to the studio to work on mixing and sequencing records for Colby O'Donis' album with my good buddy Exit, who's an amazing engineer. As it stands now I produced 4 records for Colby's album and I have the 2nd single called "Don't Turn Back," which I'll be world premiering on SmashTime Radio this weekend. Kon also played me his album which is gonna be craaaaazy, his first single is gonna be featuring an icon is pop history so stay tuned for that. I may even have a joint on his album too.

Kardinal Offishal and Akon Dangerous Video Shoot

Today me and Supastar L.T. went down to Miami for Kardinal and Akon's video shoot for Kardi's new song Dangerous, which is a smash! Gil Green directed it and the concept is a very cool one. The idea for the video is a play off of an old rayban commercial that shows different views from the perspective of the reflection off the sunglasses. Check for me and Supastar L.T.'s cameo. Here are a few pic's from the video shoot, that guy in the last photo his name is Supa Dups, he's really a nice guy, don't mind the finger. Also don't forget to go buy "Dangerous" on iTunes or Amazon.com.
