"It's true that good things come to those who wait, but only whats left by those who Hustle"

About Me

Never in 29 years on Earth, (I started counting backwards after I turned 30) did I ever imagine that I would be here. It was never my ambition when I was younger to be a businessman. I mean I’ve always been passionate about shit. Sports. Music. Chicks. But when you are from certain place and EVERYBODY around you ain’t doing shit, don’t wanna be shit, and ultimately gonna hate you when you become THE SHIT. You either rise to the challenge or you become shit instead of THE SHIT. So with that being said, I just want y’all to know..I DO THIS. This isn’t a get rich quick ploy for me. This is my life. I’m passionate about my lifestyle. I’m fortunate. I worked hard to get here. And now I work harder to keep my position. Music is my passion. It’s my girl. My Bonnie. My bitch. But it ain't wifey. We fuck and fight. We have disagreements. I leave and cheat on her with liquor brands, sneaker brands and radio stations, but she knows daddy always comes home. I hustle to keep her happy. I have perks that the average -ninja- doesn’t. 9 to 5 workers don’t hit tha licks like I do. Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo allow me to reintroduce myself. All things considered I'm good. I dress good. Smell Good. Eat Good. Grind Good..Oh yeah..The folks in the street call me Cory Sparks. I used to do Radio..Blah Blah..I went to college and learned some shit..Blah Blah..People tend to think I'm kinda smart. Blah Blah..Contrary to popular belief, I ain't particularly great at everything. I'm just passionate about my profession and I'm NICE with it..I currently do Regional Radio Promotions for Koch Records. That means I cover Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky, Arkansas and Mississippi trying to get folks to play my records. So I travels. ALOT...I had a great run with Interscope Records but life moves on. Shot to The whole staff! I also own/run a Marketing & Promotions company called SIT Marketing. We do all kinds of coooool shit. We do street teams, regional and national mixshow campaigns, corporate marketing campaigns, viral campaigns, special events, liquor campaigns, concert coverage, etc. My clients on tap are: Interscope Records(of course), Def Jam, Atlantic Records, TVT Records, Sony/Columbia, Jive Records, Martell VSOP, Walgreens, State Farm Insurance and pretty much anything that has a budget- I WANT IN!!! I also work as a Project Manager for Setting The Pace Marketing & Promotions. I pretty run all the side hustles. The Grafiti Boyz and Novakane. And did I mention I’MONTHERADIO.COM? OMG! Great Opportunity for great artists to get heard by the masses. Shot to the legendary LP, my nigga 4 life Ric, Kevo and Rocafella Tonio. Did I mention Concrete Magazine? I’m giving it to you lazy ass dudes. Yeah I’m doing THAT TOO. Holla at the kid if you wanna advertise or you feel for some reason you need to be in there. So if you have a budget and want the maximum marketing punch for your dollars, HOLLA AT THE KID. Oh yeah, I'm 30 sumthin, no kids, degree, investments and a low tolerance for bullshit. I’m gonna tell you like a nigga told me: It's all about your Hustle, the Ability to Hustle Is a Skill...it must be learned, and never taken for granted or abused....and believe me.....you can't get it from a DAMN SONG..U gotta Hustle...Not Grind...So get off your azz.. and...Don't knock Mine. AND PUT SOMETHING BEHIND THEM WORDS”. See you on the next adventure.-C. Sparks
