Skewby - Proving You Wrong Since 1988

Skewby - Proving You Wrong Since 1988

Had this thing in my inbox for a few days now, and I've been BSing on it for one reason or another. Regardless, I finally got a chance to listen to this guy they call Skewby (if names could kill), and I must say I'm impressed. The tape's called Proving You Wrong Since 1988. Being an 88-baby myself, I couldn't help but endear myself to the man's cause. The tape might have flown under the radar because it doesn't have a DJ Drama or Don Cannon cosign, nor a litany of popular instrumentals. In fact, I think I liked the tape more because all of the production was original. A few of the beats were head-scratchers, but others were pure PIFF. While somee of the songs sounded like they were straight out of New Jack City, others sounded like they were made on an 808 machine from the year 2088. In terms of lyrics and content, Skewby is a regular dude... who just happens to rap. His songs are done in such a soliloquy-esque way that you feel like one of Skewby's boys that he's telling a story to. There aren't any filler tracks either. Skewby is the answer to the swag rappers of the past two years. Not that he's organic, rocking a chew stick, but there's something natural about the guy that you can't not like. Hopefully he keeps it up. Check out the link, tracklist, #dopetracks, loosies, and videos...
