Former Roc-A-Fella artist Omillio Sparks’ is prepping his indepedent solo debut Payback, slated for release in May,
and says Jay-Z is throwing up more road blocks.
Apparently S. Carter is halting Sparks’ own Colossal
Entertainment’s plan to release his album due to appearances by Def Jam artists Peedi Peedi, and Freeway. The Philly artists are featured in two songs on Payback, one of the
songs reminisces on the times at the original Roc-A-Fella records, before Jay Z
became what Sparks calls “90210 Hov.”
Omillio says he isn’t trying to be another one of these artists trying to diss Jay for publicity, but that this current situation is ‘forcing him to tell the truth.’
“Jay has left me no choice but to tell the truth about
what’s going on. I hear him boast about going to Africa and helping people out
in crisis over there, and he has no idea w hat he’s doing to artists’ careers
and their livelihoods here in fuckin America, he’s deliberately doing things
that make the streets question his credibility and his worthiness.I hate
to say it but the boi has become the king of false hope. He has niggas on his
label now, running around being soldiers for him. Look at that nigga Tru Life,
he’s making diss records and defending Hov’s honor as a true friend would do,
Hov won’t do the same for that man though…he’ll see.”
