Band Members: 2 FEMALE group members (Benz) & (Tandra), and 1 Male Rapper (Syco) make up this unique rap ensemble (Sko-shun Tiez). With thier own style and sound of Skoshun Music, we call it SKO'D music meaning "Hot like fire" and their ever growing fanbase & music tracks they create is proof to the skills and talents in a era where "NAS" the God Son feels hiphop is DEAD, but we don't think its dead we beleive in the after life!!!! THINK SKOSHUN TIEZ for a fresh breath of Rap Music.In a time where 2 women rappers share the Stage with Male rappers and proving themselves to be worthy of they're spot in Canadian rap/hiphop history.BENZ's 1st Performance Live Freestyle GHETTO DAYS Kaleb $immonds
Influences: Too many pioneers that laid down the path for us to start naming names, so to be fair we'll say those that have made an impact in the rap game as our motivaters & each others of course, thats what molds our sound in the Atlantic region "Sko-shun Tiez All Day Sko-shun tiez All Year".
Sounds Like: SKOSHUN MUSIC sound is moreless, a up North/Down South/WestCoast influence flow but still our sound Nova Scotian the indigneous people in Canada, check our history.
