About Me

..Skahlah hails from NYC. Started Out freestyling, beatbOxing, and banging On the walls Of trains fOr beats, and just rapping as part Of conversation. Callin up his friends and just leaving messages Of verse. One rainy day his bOy asked him tO gO by his spot tO dO some music thing. There was (dead serious) twO turntables and a mic.. nOt really a mic, though.. it was actually a headphOne sOmehOw hooked up tO a cassette player and set up tO recOrd.. by the end Of that day a new ambition had been born… ..after such.. skahlah kept being active in music.. dOing a recording here and there but.. the recOrding Of music and the creating songs are a very different animals than just rapping and freestyling.. also after making a few sOngs it gOt tO the point where the music sounded coOl but the range Of content was nOt what it could be.. if skahlah was going tO make sOngs ..he wanted tO make sOngs with the best Of them.. classics that wOuld impact histOry and minds around the wOrld.. also giving somehow cOntributing and giving back tO the wOrld.. ..ROAD TRIP.. ..actually more like an around the wOrld venture tO explOre the what is within hiphOp.. hOw hiphOp has prOgressed .. and tO search self fOr what it was that a skahlah had tO say.. experience life tO build pOn depth Of perspective, character, and vision.. ..TYO.. ..in abOut 2002 after living in a few different countries fOr a few years.. skahlah fOund himself in tOkyO dOin underground shows.. and building On the what is.. after a minute he bumped into sOhch.. soon the twO went On tO form the group “the life penciled crew (the Lp)”.. bOund by respect fOr the middle-skOol era Of hiphOp music and the idea that hiphOp is at its best when its highlighting the small pOckets Of life that Often are lost in the shadows.. ..all is done fOr lOve Of the music.. idO nO naka nO kawazu.. HiphOp Is PeOple Highlighting Original Perspective..the undergrOund lives....the yOuth are the future..
