░░ Sparrow the Movement is a hip-hop duo that consists of Fla Fla and SO12.
░░
░░ Who is willing to be a voice in the wilderness, a light amongst darkness?
░░ More specifically, who is willing to add diversity to a hip hop musical
░░ landscape where similarity is the standard? There is one, a crew willing
░░ to overthrow the standard, a crew that is willing to be lights in this
░░ rap world; Sparrow The Movement. To many they will be newcomers, but
░░ actually SparrowÆs journey began years ago. They are probably the
░░ greatest group this generation has NEVER heard. But now, this generation
░░ must prepare for the God sound. Sparrow the MovementÆs God sound is, on
░░ the surface, just beats and rhymes. But it is purposed to not only move
░░ the surface of people but the inner parts of a person. Fla-Fla says,
░░ ôOnly God can truly speak to the hearts of man.ö It is the perfect blend
░░ of classic boom-bap, samples, scratching, and rhyming with a purpose.
░░ Rhymes designed to make you laugh, think, question, challenge, and be
░░ empowered; and to also murder wack mcÆs. God sound is just the right
░░ sound for SparrowÆs upcoming release ôThe Jacob Theologyö. This album has
░░ taken a journey to complete. And it will be sure to satisfy those whom
░░ are long time fans, and grab those who have yet to join the Sparrow
░░ Movement.
░░
░░ Fla-Fla, the MC of the crew, also known as the Brooklyn born, Bronx bred
░░ nomad from Baltimore was amazed at hip hop when it was in its toddler
░░ stages. Growing up in the Bronx he was there at the park jams, at least
░░ until it got late and he had to go in the house. Even then he would
░░ listen from the window. Fla-Fla says, ôWe lived on the 13th floor and our
░░ window faced Clark Park. So when I was supposed to to be sleep, I was
░░ listening to the music and the MC rhymes in the park. I was also pouting
░░ because my older cousins were at the park jam and I was too young.ö Hip
░░ Hop has ALWAYS been a major part of Fla-FlaÆs life. But at 14, FlaÆs
░░ grandmother passed, which forced him to stay in Baltimore permanently
░░ with his mother. Hip Hop was not as big of a deal in Baltimore then, but
░░ with the help of family the fire kept burning inside of Fla. He says, ôMy
░░ cousin would record the Kool DJ Red Alert radio show and sometimes Mr.
░░ MagicÆs radio show every week, make a dub, and send me a copy.ö But in
░░ the late 80 early 90Æs hip hop really began to flourish in Baltimore. And
░░ Fla-Fla was a part of it. Rap groups began to emerge such as: The We Rock
░░ Crew, Z3 MCÆs, Level 4, The Numarx, and others. Fla-Fla was determined,
░░ and felt it only right, to get in where he fitted in. Being a skilled
░░ dancer he began touring with The Numarx, in which music mogul Kevin Liles
░░ was a part of. Fla Fla saw this as an opportunity to infiltrate the
░░ industry. But his opportunity came at a later date.
░░
░░ Just as hip hop is indigenous of the New York scene, and Go-Go music is
░░ that of the Washington, DC scene, what emerged in the early to mid 90Æs
░░ in Baltimore was Club Music. And Fla Fla experienced the emergence of
░░ this music as well. He says, ôI worked in a record store with Scottie B
░░ who is considered the God Father of Baltimore Club Music. I was in the
░░ studio with him when he was creating this sound and preparing it for his
░░ first release. And to be honest, at that point I did not believe in it.ö
░░ Fla Fla was a known MC at this time and for reasons unknown he was
░░ invited to be a part of a now historic 12ö which featured a Baltimore
░░ Club Music record called ôBooty Mission: Yo, Yo Where the Hoes Atö. This
░░ Baltimore Club Record made so much noise in Baltimore that it gained
░░ national attention and the attention of music executive Virgil Simms
░░ (FRESH + SLEEPING BAG) whom is a Baltimore native. Virgil Simms signed on
░░ as management and Fla Fla who was then part of a group called The Runaway
░░ Slaves, was signed to Savage Records a subsidiary of BMG. Savage Records
░░ was the home of legendary rocker David Bowie and classic hip hop artist
░░ Just-Ice. As a part of the Runaway Slaves, Fla Fla toured opening for the
░░ likes of Black Moon, Brand Nubian, The Geto Boys, and others. The Runaway
░░ Slaves even recorded a full-length LP, which the world MIGHT get to hear
░░ one day if Fla Fla would be so gracious. But the album was never released
░░ because the label folded. But during the albumÆs recording Fla Fla had a
░░ friend in college who said he knew a GREAT producer and asked him to
░░ listen to some of this producers work. And this is when Fla Fla met 12.
░░ Fla Fla says, ôEvery beat Dre (12) played was AMAZING. At the third beat
░░ I knew that Dre needed to be showcased on the Runaway Slaves album.ö
░░ After the label disbanded, so did the Runaway Slaves; one member, Ty Flex
░░ becoming a DJ and the other Shawn Caesar beginning a record label that
░░ would eventually push Baltimore Club Music to a national audience and
░░ then to a global audience.
░░
░░ After the disbanding of The Runaway Slaves, Fla Fla was a little
░░ discouraged but continued to communicate with 12 on a regular basis;
░░ listening to beats and just kicking it. Then Fla Fla had an epiphany, ôWe
░░ have the same musical influence in mind, why donÆt we band together?ö It
░░ was almost automatic. These guys didnÆt even have a name. Fla Fla and
░░ (Dre)12 just began creating music. Fla first created the name East Coast
░░ Avengers; corny. But one day on the way to work while listening to a
░░ Marvin Gaye album entitled ôHere, My Dearö a song played called
░░ ôSparrowÆs Songö. This song not only sounded amazing on the surface but
░░ it invigorated Fla FlaÆs soul. After work he immediately called Dre (12)
░░ and said we are Sparrow. And (Dre)12 said ôword!ö. This DJ and rapper duo
░░ went on to create one of the most sought after 12ö vinyl records ever
░░ entitled ôPhysics b/w Rhyme Impotenceö. This record was released on
░░ Unruly Records as its first and only hip hop release. As this was the
░░ label created by Runaway Slaves member Shawn Caesar to showcase Baltimore
░░ Club Music. But Physics went on to gain national as well as international
░░ acclaim. Physics is the title track of a previously unreleased album that
░░ will be released in 2013. Sparrow also released another highly sought
░░ after 12ö on Da Hill Records entitled ôInheritanceö b/w ôThe Chaseö.
░░ Another previously unreleased album entitled ôLove & Violenceö will be
░░ released in 2013. Inheritance was originally the lead single for this
░░ album. The issues of life and Fla Fla learning the music business from
░░ the inside out caused a stall in SparrowÆs Movement, but new music is on
░░ the horizon.
░░
░░ SIX2SIX Records, the new home of Sparrow The Movement, has set the stage
░░ for the world to now hear what a journey sounds like; the journey that
░░ forged The Jacob Theology. The Jacob Theology holds the premise that man
░░ will NEVER come to a true understanding of God until he wrestles with
░░ Him. The wrestling is in the logical mind represented by the flesh and
░░ the spiritual mind represented by the Spirit. The two are at odds. Simply
░░ put, you have to question the status quo. You have to study and then
░░ question what you have been taught. Jesus did. Until death he challenged
░░ every belief, every tradition, every ritual, and every idol. He broke a
░░ lot of ôrulesö in the process as well. But do not think the Jacob
░░ Theology will be some Gospel or Christian album. It will be a HIP-HOP
░░ album; beats, rhymes, and life. Fla Fla says, ôPublic Enemy did not put
░░ out Muslim albums, Big Daddy Kane and Rakim did not put out Nation of
░░ GodÆs and Earth albums. They released HIP HOP albums.ö FlaÆs songwriting
░░ will deal with issues of faith such as sex and attraction, sexuality,
░░ anti-pacifism, disposition, love, and hate. And it will be done over a
░░ musical collage of jazz, soul, gospel, and rock music in a way that holds
░░ true to SparrowÆs authentic 90Æs hip hop sound.
