In 2007, Chipmunk released his third mixtape League of My Own on Alwayz Recordings, which utilized Wiley's little black book of producers, including Bless Beats, Maniac, Balistiyx, Danny Weed, D'Va, Swindle, and Skeams. In 2008 he reaped the rewards of constant touring and promotion, as he won the Best Newcomer Award at the Urban Music and MOBO award ceremonies. People stateside started taking notice as well, when he was nominated for best new rapper at the BET Awards. Just after Chipmunk's 18th birthday, he signed to Sony Columbia, and started moving away from grime into mainstream hip-hop. While striving for the ultimate "banging hook," he teamed up with Ironik for a big-beated remake of Elton John's "Tiny Dancer," complete with backing vocals by Sir Elton himself. In May of 2009, as he put the finishing touches on his debut full-length, Chipmunk released the promo single Chip Diddy Chip and the song reached 21 on the U.K. charts. Adding to the hype, in June, he made his fourth mixtape, Guess Who, available for free by download just a few weeks before his first official album, Diamond Rings, hit the shelves, in early July.

Blue chevs im sparko
From you see me in my shades im high

Some lemon hammi or cheese i told him hit one of these and get right
Chillin watchin' narco
Feet up on a friday night

Neighbours complainin' cah its always so loud thats
The music and the weed yeah they know when im about uh
Monday when she hit me play mode in the clouds uh
Friday now an shawty wan link said im down uh
Bujee little baddie started moaning bout me smokin' baby
Hate the smell of weed you better go back to your house uh
Cancel that jawn and call up a next chick uh
Nuttin' like a big splif, neck and netflix uh

"Sparko" is a song by British rapper, Chip. The lyrics are centered around the use of marijuana and the joys of getting high with friends. The opening lines of the song, "Wedding cake gelato, blue chevs im sparko, from you see me in my shades im high" describe his level of intoxication through the use of potent marijuana (Wedding Cake Gelato) and the feeling of euphoria (blue chevs) that accompany it. Throughout the song, Chip shares anecdotes of getting high with his friends, enjoying their company over a zoot and TV shows such as "Narco." He talks about how he uses weed to be creative, write bars, and relax, and the importance of having the "right" type of weed to maximize the experience.
However, the lyrics are not only about the recreational use of marijuana, but also about the lifestyle that comes with it. Chip mentions the complaints of his neighbors, and how his friends and other people often associate him with smoking weed. He also touches on the social aspects of smoking with friends, how it brings people together, and how it can be an icebreaker to start a conversation with someone you like. Overall, Sparko is a song that celebrates marijuana culture, its effects on the mind and body and its ability to bring people together.
