Skandal: "Okay, well I know this isn’t a traditional bio, but f@%k dat! Come be a part of my machine." "I was born and raised in Cincinnati, OH from a single parent home. I have one younger sister whose a student at the University of Cincinnati's school of applied sciences. We lived in the ‘hood and did the whole welfare food stamps thing, but moved around town a lot ‘cause moms wasn’t satisfied with our ‘hood surroundings. By the time I reached high school we moved to the ‘burbs. High school is responsible for my rap career. Most cats swear they been spitting’ since they was 12 and sh!t, but not me. My sophomore of high school my homie used to beat box for me so I decided to write a verse to spit each day at lunch- time. This spawned years of demos, talent shows, mix tape freestyles and battles. With the battles, let’s just say I won, a lot. Truthfully, my entire home fan base came from those battles. It got to a point where all the songs were battles songs and seeing’ me battle was like going’ to a wrestling’ match. Ask anybody. Now I’m in what I like to call song mode. I’m writin’ hits now. I’m doing more song writing for other artists now. I have a knack for writing hooks and choruses for both rappers and singers. I don’t like to limit my self to a certain genre when it comes to the writing, but right now I’m Hip-Hop and R&B based. Sky’s the limit right? Oh well enough talking just listen to the CD. ONE
