If you ask Chase N. Cashe if he feels that he’s blown up, he’ll tell you that the first step has been accomplished. In the eyes of others, he’s really at that level. He’s always been around in the game since the age of 18 but one of the production credits that took him and [...]

Spark Dawg has been one of Texas’ most slept on in the last few years. He’s worked with everybody from Scarface to Big K.R.I.T. and has constantly given his fans new music, videos and tapes, leaving no time to relaxing.
