/From Bushwick, Brooklyn, NY introducing SPAR.Here..s a brief description of this business savvy young man on the rise:Spar is definitely a Jack of all trades. But before he got into all the entrepreneurial ventures, Hip hop or rather Street Music was his first love. He was inspired by a lot of MC's such as Nas, Biggie, Tupac, Jay-z, LL Cool-J, Krs1, Ice Cube, Busta, Rakim, Kool G Rap, Redman, Method Man. The closest he got to taste the fame was being under the wing of Black Moon, break dancing and trying to freestyle at local parties with the founding members. When the group finally made it Spar knew that he could make it too because he had been around and saw how they came from nothing and made it. He started rhyming at the age of 12 years old when his cousin Dave taught him how to flow. He shortly realized he had a knack for words, a way with sound and talent that could move a crowd. Making his way with several other rhymesters he formed several groups that would never rise to become anything but hood celebs. Every year he tried to get noticed by record labels but nobody responded with a good deal. He never stopped improving his craft but it wasn..t helping him get anywhere. So he went back to his books in hopes of combining book knowledge with some street smarts. After graduating from Maxwell Vocational High in ..98, Spar formed Money Making Moves the label. He followed that with what was soon to become the DDF Crew. On his right hand was his closest friend and current business partner Twin. He attempted again to make a name for himself performing at different venues, as it goes in the game no one saw his genius. Again the game and his dreams took a back seat to real life. He got a job at Marriott Hotel in Manhattan for the next 5 years in hopes of keeping together a family that was slowly falling apart and maybe getting his money up to do it all his way. He wasn..t going to wait on the support of a big label. He had ideas and a hunger not easily suppressed. While he was working crazy hours washing dishes, mopping and sweeping at the hotel his family problems were getting worse. At home his mother and father were breaking up and the house in Bushwick was being auction off. Everybody was out on the street, having to deal with the NYC shelter system and a slew of other problems plaguing the homeless. With his parents.. finances in disarray and their main focus being on the younger siblings, he was living on the edge and sleeping anywhere he could. Spar kept his head up and prayed for the Lord's help. Spar kept his faith even after being fired from the Marriott. He did what most black men in his day and age tend to do, he took to the streets. His family depended on him and so his grind became relentless. He started selling clothes, weed, Cd..s, DVD..s, X pills and bootleg play station 2 games courtesy of some childhood friends also in a similar situation. To top it all off he was collecting an unemployment check. Already building a life with his girl and a child, he soon found out he had another one on the way. With another mouth to feed he realized that a life behind bars was not an option. Too many people counted on him. A change of fate.Through the many people he had come in contact with he met a man that would soon become the answer to his prayers. Spar met his mentor and current business partner Ravin aka Mr. Money bags, a mortgage consultant. He was the same age as Spar but had at least 5 cribs and 250k in his bank account. From there Spar and his Mother started working as sales agents at an investment company owned by two brothers. They gave Spar the opportunity and the foundation for what would soon become a money making empire. Along the way Spar has met and worked for countless people who would give him the seeds he would need to make a way of his own (which he had planned on doing one way or another). Spar worked on commission and in 3 months he made 60k for himself and 1.5 million for the company. He became the most unlikely employee coming to work in his jeans and timbs, yet the most dedicated employee in this small company. With his way with words and the confidence he gained from countless rhyme battles Spar knew that he couldn..t fail. He now had all the things he needed to start his own business. Spar resigned and opened up his own investment company Heaven Homes LLC., named after his new baby girl. He started flipping property and hired every hustler he knew to come and work for him. Hence Hood Estate was born. He taught a lot of young dudes the game and how they could generate income for the movement taking place, but also for themselves. Because at the end of the day everyone wants to be their own boss. Spar now owns Money Making Moves Ent., Heaven Homes LLC., Hood Estate LLC., Tipsie Liquors LLC. and countless other investment ventures that include, credit repair, construction , interior design, clothes, movies and books. Though his many ventures keep him busy he has enough people on his team to return to his first love. The Rap Game.
