[edit] About

[edit] Early life

Bubba Sparxxx (Warren Anderson Mathis) was born on March 6, 1977 in LaGrange, Georgia. It was his neighbor who lived a half mile away who introduced him to rap. When he was 15 years old, Sparxxx started writing songs of his own. Rap as a career never crossed his mind because he worked toward a career in football. On a trip to visit a friend in college, a chance meeting would change his life.

Sparxxx met music executive (and future manager) Bobby Stamps during a trip to Athens, Ga. He impressed Stamps with his ability and the two partnered up and eventually formed New South Entertainment and made Sparxxx the first artist on the label. In 2000, Sparxxx secured a recording contract from Jimmy Iovine and Interscope Records. He released "Dark Days, Bright Nights" in October of 2001. "Ugly" the Timbaland produced first single went to #1 on the rap charts and made Sparxxx a worldwide phenomenon. The album is certified gold.
