After moving a surprising number of units after getting radio play in the surrounding Georgia area, Nocents became 11th Hour Entertainment, and the album fell into the lap of Interscope Records head honcho Jimmy Iovine.
Iovine liked what he heard and flew Sparxxx out to California to discuss a label deal. Offers soon came in from a number of labels, and suddenly Sparxxx 's breakthrough seemed just on the horizon.
He decided to stick with Iovine 's Interscope empire and soon found himself working with Timbaland. Over the course of two weeks, the two recorded six songs and Sparxxx also worked with other producers like Organized Noize and Houchins.
The follow-up, 's Deliverance , was an introspective album that found favor with critics but failed to sway the public. OutKast member Big Boi was a big fan of the album and felt it should have been a hit, and that it was just handled improperly by the label. He came to the rescue by signing Sparxxx to his new Purple Ribbon imprint and releasing the rapper's third album, The Charm , in Sparxxx landed on the Average Joe's label with his release, Pain Management , an album that featured guest appearances from Colt Ford , the Lacs , and others.

Aggressive Bittersweet Druggy. That's what it was. At that time, I felt like if I had drugs on me all the time, I wouldn't have a problem; if you don't know anything about opium withdrawals, it's a "shut you down" kind of thing.
It's like having the flu but you can't sleep. It aches. That's what made me realize I had a problem. That's how out of touch I was with reality. Then I moved back to Georgia. From late to late , I didn't even go to the studio. I wanted to have a good life, and it seemed to me at that time, the music and lifestyle weren't allowing me to have a good life. I was at a point that I had gotten so miserable, I had to find a different way to live — or, really, not want to continue living.
I had a bunch of cows, ponds fully stocked with fish. I just lived that life. I would still go do shows, but I really was just taking it easy. I was doing a lot of research within myself and went through a lot of therapy. Just a lot of things to take care of myself and nurture myself. I was growing up and easing into my thirties. I was kinda, like, at a point where I didn't know what I had to say. What would be my message? What is it that I really, really have on my heart that I needed to convey?
One thing I discovered was exercise chuckles. That became my major new addiction. I ran quite a bit and lifted weights often. It wasn't until or that I really started recording again. I had made some real progress in terms of lots of therapy, and really, really felt good with where I was as a person. At that point, once I ironed out all those issues internally, then I craved music again. I'm back at it now. I'm enjoying the ride right now, and people tell me all the time I look younger and fresher than I did when I entered the game at It's not that I'll ever aspire to achieve pop-culture celebrity status, if you will — and that's not necessarily my goal — but I do want to reach a point where people acknowledge me.
I do feel like my story was incomplete.
