Rapper Omillio
Sparks may be reunited with Roc-A-Fella Records in the coming weeks sources told
AllHipHop.com. Sparks,
born Kenneth Johnson, was signed to Roc-A-Fella Records by CEO’s Jay-Z and Damon
Dash and was part of the State Property rap group, which featured Philly rappers
Beanie Sigel, Freeway, Oschino Vazquez and Omillio Sparks, and the Young Gunz
and Peedi Crakk.The
group split apart amidst legal issues involving Sigel, as well as the sale of
Roc-A-Fella Records to the Island Def Jam Music Group in 2004. Sparks
recently voiced his frustrations with Jay-Z, because he was unable to clear various
samples containing Jay-Z’s voice for his upcoming album The Pay Back, which
is being released on his own independent label, Colossal Entertainment. “My
major focus right now is getting my situation right wherever it may be, I have
a few situations on the table," Sparks said. "The good thing about it
now is I am older now, and understand the business a lot more than when I was
a young boy and just happy to be on TV with a n***a. I am about my paper now and
most importantly me. When the album drops this summer everyone will know who the
f**k I am.”According
to Sparks’ reps, The Pay Back could be released on Roc-A-Fella. Former
label mate Beanie Sigel contacted Colossal Entertainment to discuss Sparks’ possible
return to the Roc, as well as the prospects of a State Property 3 album.Sparks
helped author verses and hooks on both State Property albums. His most
high profile appearance is a cameo on Jay-Z’s#### single "I Just Wanna Love
You."The
rapper also has prominent roles in the movies State Property and State
Property 2.
