Clinton Sparks Gets Familiar with Tinseltown

by: Julianne Shepherd

Mixtape DJ named music correspondent for E! Entertainment Television.

Popular mixtape DJ C-c-c-c-c-linton Sparks continues his journey upon his own personal Hip Hop Empowerment Network, as he conquers every mass medium in his path. Production.. mixtapes.. Sirius radio... and now? Mr. Sparks has been swept up by the E! Entertainment Network as their Music Correspondent. Sparks will be on the popular show The Daily 10 on E! every Tuesday, telling 600 million homes in 122 countries what they should be bumping on their boomboxes.

In a press release, Sparks, like us, could not resist the urge to transform his own catchy "Get Familiar" catchphrase into a pun. "This is a great opportunity for artists of all genres of music to gain exposure on a widespread network,"said Sparks of his new gig as a television personality. "Through this platform I feel that I can help the entertainment world 'Get Familiar' with the many talented artists and incredible music being created around the world." Touche!

Sparks has made essential mixtapes for Clipse, Kanye West, Eminem, Diddy, Shawnna, and lots of other major names in hip hop. He once toured as an opening act for former New Kid on the Block Joey McIntyre, according to his website.
