Mad Skillz

b. Shaquan Lewis, Norfolk, Virginia, USA. This freestyle rapper spent some time working with a few of rap’s biggest brands, although he continues to be relatively unidentified outside a little band of hardcore hip-hop enthusiasts. First creating a name for himself as Mad Skillz the freestyler’s supreme rhyming abilities were acknowledged by others, ultimately producing a documenting agreement with Atlantic Information within the middle-90s. Despite high expectations and favourable evaluations, the rapper’s 1995 debut, From Where???, didn’t make a direct effect on the graphs and sunk from view. Dropped from Atlantic, Skillz continuing penning rhymes, but decreased off the radar for another many years to storyline his following move. Right now officially going from the shortened moniker of Skillz by the first twenty-first hundred years, the rapper was finally prepared to concern his second recording. Following a projected documenting contract using the Blackhand imprint (that was going by fellow Virginia indigenous Timbaland) didn’t materialize, Skillz installed using the Rawkus Information label. 2002 noticed the discharge of I Ain’t Mad FORGET ABOUT, an recording that included visitor appearances from the Neptunes, Timbaland and Missy ‘Misdemeanor’ Elliott, in addition to creation efforts by Musiq Soulchild, Hi-Tek, Jazzy Jeff, the Supafriends, plus Notz and Big Doggie.
