Went to guidlford last night to see my man Sparx play his first live show with 10-piece-acm-talent band, and you know for a guy who's last live performance was outside the John Kelly College in NW 4 years ago, he ripped it up. I worked on this guys debut album Why Not?, and he was as good on the mic live as he is on the CD. In fact, many of the songs on the album were recorded in one take.
This guy is on some badman ting.
Supporting him was Channel U favourite KAID who, to me, lacked the charisma needed to entertain an audience when he is the only man on stage.
Sparx looks set to become one of the very few hip hop artists (and he an artist, not just a rapper) who delivers entertaining live music. He may be to the UK Hip Hop world what Pendulum are to Drum'n'Bass.
