• Background music. The music you hear in the background during the highlights is called Support Music, and almost all of the time it’s instrumental. Most Support Music comes from ESPN’s Music Library, a database of thousands of compositions which Kevin helps oversee by working with composers to create original music for the library. According to Kevin, a lot of the is mid to up tempo, like rock, hip-hop, or electronic music. Support Music’s biggest job is pretty self-explanatory, it’s to support the the sports highlights and the attitude of the particular ESPN program. “If it’s doing it’s job, you don’t even know it’s there,” says Kevin.
• Curating popular music. Commercial Music is what you hear more often on ESPN during live sporting events or right before and after commercial breaks. It includes songs by popular artists, up-and-coming acts, and sometimes, even music recorded by an artist specifically for ESPN. (Rapper 50 Cent once recorded custom verses in conjunction with The Heavy for his song “We Up” and The Heavy’s song “How You Like Me Now,” to be used during the NFL Draft.) According to Kevin, the commercial music is curated by both the music team and the show’s producers when they’re looking for something specific. “We’re out there searching the web for new bands,” says Kevin, “and getting stuff from management, labels, and publishers.”

My Career

I want a career , because I get to choose what I want to do , when I want to do it , and other things . A lot people work for people which is a ordinary job. I want to work for myself , have my own record label. People are selfish. I can't lie because I know that I am selfish. They have people on earth who talk about you , say things to hurt you , always bringing up the past , instead of the future. The career that I'm chasing is a music career. There's support all around , { OG } . He makes sure that i stay on the path of my school work , and my music career. He tells me that , music comes second , you have to put your education first because , you have to have your education before the industry . My mother tells me that too , everyone who smiles in your face is really not your friend , they always laugh in your face , then turn their back on you when you need help. My passion is music. I just have a passion for rapping , and making music . I love what i do . Not only do I love it , other people love my music too.

The Word Of The Day - Travesty
Travesty -  in literature, the treatment of a noble and dignified subject in an inappropriately trivial manner. Travesty is a crude form of burlesque in which the original subject matter is changed little but is transformed into something ridiculous through incongruous language and style. An early example of travesty is the humorous treatment of the Pyramus and Thisbe legend in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream (1595–96). After 1660, travesty became a popular literary device in England as seen in John Phillips’s Don Quixote (1687), a vulgar mockery of the original work, and Charles Cotton’s travesty of Virgil,Scarronides: or, Virgile Travestie. Being the First Book of Virgil’s Aeneis in English, Burlesque (1664), an imitation of the French Virgile travesty (1648–53) by Paul Scarron. (The use of the word travesty—literally, “dressed in disguise”—in the title of Scarron’s work gave rise to the English word, first as an adjective.) Later the French developed the féeries folies, a musical burlesque that travestied fairy tales.
