Dusty Wallets aka Spark1duh?, is a solo artist from St. Louis, MO, and a member of "The 12 to 6 Movement", "Death & Taxes" and "My Posse in Effect".
Live shows are high energy and unlike typical hip-hop acts. An eclectic mix of music backgrounds transformed into a more lyrical, golden era style hip-hop, with a seemingly Punk Rock identity crisis, so much that he has been dubbed as "The Iggy Pop of Hip-Hop". Picture Bad Brains, meets the Wu-Tang Clan, or Black Flag, meets the Beastie Boys. Not your typical jewelry, drugs, streets, and guns repetitive rap here, just honesty, brashness, and one hell of a charming attitude.
“What do you think about when you think about St. Louis, Missouri? Nelly? St. Lunatics? Chingy? Don't apologize, we don't blame you. But in 2011, it's time to switch up your train of thought. Spark1Duh? aka Dusty Wallets, armed with his ever-present spectacles and booming voice to compliment his ferocious stage show, will change your perception of the Midwest entirely.

“Known by many as the "Iggy Pop" of Hip-Hop, Spark1duh? (aka Dusty Wallets) is Jason Karr, a St. Louis native who has successfully fused non violent, party style Hip-Hop with American Pub Rock. One of the most intriguing aspects of Spark1duh?'s music is the fact that is carries an in your face, Pop or Neo-Punk Rock feel that he conveys beautifully through his lyrical expression and stage presence. Off stage, Karr is always calm and humble, making those around him feel instantly at ease. Once he steps on the stage however, Karr transforms into his alter-ego and transmits his infectious vibes to all those who are fortunate enough to experience his live show.Spark1duh? may be from Earth, but his music is certainly from another planet.”

“As a rapper, Karr's rhymes are more clever than speedy, and his confident style is brash, funny and charming.”
Christian Schaeffer - the Riverfront Times
"Everything's Fine" suggests that Karr could moonlight as a respectable rock & roll singer.

"A view into the mind of a chemically imbalanced, confused, hip-hop emcee with a punk-rock identity crisis."
