John Sportin

A young man becomes overpowered with lyrical finesse as he escapes his own hostilities. Influenced by the embattled lyricism from some of hip-hop's greatest storytellers such as: Notorious BIG, Jay-Z, Nas, Method Man and many others, he began to personify truths. Filling pages with picturesque motifs was just the start of what he would now know as his undying relationship with hip-hop.
To solidify his forefront in the rap game as one of Brooklyn's best emcees, he did as they would and create a stage for himself and his gift for music. He was given the name John Sportin by a neighborhood producer who paid attention to his very young artistry. With countless hours of writing and pouring out his inner ambitions, John Sportin, began to exude unfeigned works.
"I'm different from any other rapper in the game because I speak about things that I believe in," he says. "I talk about things that I have experienced and things that I believe people should know. I try to talk about realistic things, and I speak the truth about everything--no matter if it makes me look good or bad."
This created a distinction amongst peers who would also admire hip-hop.
John Sportin began establishing his career in hip-hop after winning Whose Next? NYC HOT 97.1/LRG/Duck Down Records MC Competition and later, Sirius XM Radio MC Competition. From there, the buzz for his music landed him for award nominations : both Underground Music Awards #1 Underground Contender and Best Male Rapper and East Coast Hip-Hop Awards' Best Male Rapper. Sportin's collective works have been recognized in credible national and international urban publications: Hip-Hop DX, Hip-Hop Weekly, Rago Magazine and Yo!Raps, just to name a few.
Sportin is currently working on his first album with a couple of big name producers; he has a catalog of over 200 songs with collaborations with artist such as Kevin Lyttle, Joell Ortiz, Vein and H2O. John Sportin's lyrical reality is the epitome of eclectic conscious emceeing.
