It's been discussed again and again, so time to put it all to rest.

Watch the music video for So to Speak by Last Standing Poet and then Half of Nepal by Spark Master Tape

Notice the similarities? Well, the makers behind LSP's video are Poetic Front Face Ltd., a company apparently started by LSP according to his SonicBids page. Poetic Front Face Ltd. is now known as Vernon's Front Face and you'll catch clips of both LSP and SMT videos in their showreel. Last Standing Poet is of Jordanian descent and based in the UK. Vernon is based in UK. LSP is Vernon's Philip J. based on the description ("graduated with a First Class Degree with Honors in Advanced Media Production") which coincides with LSP's SonicBids description ("attaining a degree with First-class honors"). His SonicBids page also mentions a mixtape "that used major artist’s vocals mixed with his own production work", which sounds like Spark Master Tape's style.

KAi Sky Walker's DJ (KhaledNoDJ) is stuck in Jordan renewing his passport, so KAi and LSP probably know each other through Khaled, or maybe KAi has some extended family with LSP, who knows. Maybe KAi has some Jordanian background to him.

Still not convinced? Dig through some older threads, like this one which has clips of new SMT songs that are actually previously released LSP songs. The CATO/Paper Platoon boys get pissy over shit like this, and I'm sure I'll get called a snitch, but who gives a shit. Spark Master Tape is dope, Last Standing Poet is dope, it doesn't need to be a big secret. Madlib and Quasimoto, Flylo and Captain Murphy, etc. etc. people don't care about the identity anymore as long as it's good music.

Finally, here is a picture of the Paper Platoon General himself (Phillip), sans mask
