Some kids grow up with aspirations of becoming a businessman, others want to be on TV and some want to be rappers.

Southern MC, Sporty-O is living all his dreams. Neither too crunk nor too country, he represents the most well-rounded Atlanta image in rap. Taking his stage name from a highly-respected uncle, Sporty-O started off life in College Park.

Influenced by a wide range of musical genres and artists, Sporty-O’s music is a lethal combination of skill, wit, soul, and verve. An established businessman and avid investor, Sporty-O opened a successful record store in Atlanta when he was just 22, which afforded him the opportunity to record and press up his own CDs. “Owning a record store was a great move for me. I was able to surround myself around something that I loved and it also gave me a chance to develop relationships with different DJ’s.”

Racking up frequent flyer miles traveling from Atlanta to Los Angeles, the current bi-coastal rapper scored a TV gig on MTV as a character on the Jamie Kennedy show, ‘Blowin Up’. Since co-starring in the MTV show, Sporty-O has exploded on the movie scene with appearances in the newly filmed, “National Lampoon’s Van Wilder 3″, “Road Trip 2″ & “Preacher’s Kid” starring Clifton Powell, Tank, Trey Songz, & Letoya Luckett.

Known for his introspective and inventive rhymes, Sporty-O shines mainly due to his varied musical production, energetic lyric content and delivery. Effortlessly moving from frenzied beats to more laid-back 808 bass-lines and from high-energy, hard-knock flows to deep, thought-provoking messages, the SuperSport mixtape series has been standout classics for every hip-hop head. SuperSport Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 have collectively sold over 125,000 copies in the past three years and Sporty-O’s record label, HomeTeam Entertainment has successfully used extremely productive gorilla marketing tactics to attract attention and respect for Sporty-O’s widely popular SuperSport mixtape series. His new addition to that series is entitled, SuperSport Vol. Free which is available as a FREE digitial download on his myspace page, www.myspace.com/sportyo and his website www.sportyo.com as a thank you to all the fans that have continued to support the Sporty-O movement.
