Emilio Sparks gets paid to be a professional cretin.

As if his dream job isn’t great enough, he mostly likely has your favorite rapper on speed dial for prank calls because he’s the spontaneous type. While you can catch the shameless disc jockey weekly on WSIA 88.9FM and his iTunes podcast, “The Emilio Experience,” he’s contributing to Hip-Hop in a major way with his 2nd compilation of beats-n-rhymes in Scumbino’s Way.

Smoke DZA was recently on the Emilio Sparks show and instantly became one of my favorite personalities in Hip-Hop simply for his knowledge of wrestling. In this interview, he discusses which wrestler he wants to be (hint: Whooo!), what the hell a “Smoke DZA” is and how the DZA residence operates. We also get a cameo from Heathcliff Huxtable and the Macho Man Randy Savage. Kind of.

As a bonus, here’s studio footage and an mp3 of a featured appearance from DZA, along with Curren$y, both providing an assist to Mississippi’s Big K.R.I.T. The song is titled “No Wheaties” and will be featured on K.R.I.T.’s upcoming K.R.I.T. Was Here release.

About a year ago, when I was brand new to the whole Twitter thing, I replied to @EmilioSparks inquiry about the how the WWE Royal Rumble was going. A week later, he told me to call in for his radio show. Nearly every Tuesday night since then I’ve called in and talked to some of the most amazing new talent New York has to offer from 6th Sense to Esso to Stalley. Along the way, I’ve gotten to hear the music they’ve put together for Emilio’s Kicks Chicks & Porno Flicks and I’ve been impressed the whole way. This is a collection of musicians that are going to be major names in 20x. Read the rest of this entry »

^ Nice promo shot to grab your attention. Even nicer, mellow track produced by J. Glaze and featuring a couple of guys I favor, particularly Donny & Pinks. In fact, I’d like to now petition that Donny should be considered next time any New York heavyweight makes a remix or is looking for a collaborator. Read the rest of this entry »
