Influences: WHEN YOU THINK YOU CANT GET ANY STRONGER GOD PUTS YOU THREW THINGS TO SHOW YOU DIFFRENT. PEOPLE TURN AWAY AND CLOSE THERE EYES BUT CAN'T HELP BUT TO LISTEN. I MIGHT NOT BE THE MAN THAT CHANGES THE WORLD BUT I AM THE ONE TO WARN YOU THAT IF YOU FEEL LIKE I DO ABOUT EVERYTHING IN FRONT OF YOU (LIFE) THERE WILL BE ONE ON HIS WAY! THERE ARE NO SYSTEMS OR LAWS FOR GREATNESS JUST A FEELING I USE MY MUSIC TO TRANSLATE THE PAIN OF MY PEOPLE WITH THAT ARE YOU WILLING TO DEAL WITH THE THINGS THAT COME WITH WISDOM I AM AND THATS THE REASON WHY I CHOOSE TO PLACE MY MUSIC NOT WITH WHAT YOU HERE FROM OTHERS NOW BUT WITH THOSE THAT LISTEN TO IT LONG AFTER IM GONE. THIS IS THE SKOLIONE EXPERIENCE
MY MUSIC IS NOT TO PRAISE THE ERRORS US AS MAN MAKE, BUT TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS GREATNESS AMONG A MAN WITH ERROR. FOR EVERYDAY I SPEND ON EARTH IS ON BORROWED TIME AND PLAN ON TAKING EVERY CHANCE AS IF I WAS HIGHLY FAVORED IN GOD'S EYES. I FOUND MYSELF UNDERSTANDING THAT THINGS HAPPEN IN AN ORDER WE DO NOT CONTROL. WITH THAT ALL SAID, I GIVE PRAISE TO THE MOST HIGH FOR ALLOWING ME TO MANIFEST HIM ON EARTH. ALL MY TRIALS AND TRIBULATION ARE ALL PART OF A DIVINE ORDER THAT YOU NOR I CANNOT CONTROL. AS FOR THOSE WHO WISH ME TO FALL, LOOK CLOSER BECAUSE YOU WILL ONLY WITNESS MY RISE!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT'S TIME...I'M HERE NOW!
Sounds Like: SKOLIONÉArtist, actor, business man & activist are the talented skills of Newark, New Jersey native Franc Gonzalez, known to many as “Skolionéâ€, who began his passion and love for music at the age of 16.Being of Puerto Rican and British West Indian decent, he displayed his passion for music by being involved in talent shows throughout school and later becoming a member of a rap group called “Divided Mindz.†The group was involved in various community activities and festivals but with time, they grew apart.At a young age, Skolioné’s main interest before music was basketball. He had the aspirations of going to the NBA but due to unfortunate family circumstances, his interests drifted and Skolioné became involved with the “Street Life.†Being raised in the tough neighborhoods of Newark, Skolioné took a step back and from his trial and tribulations, began to make his musical skill flourish. With musical influences ranging from Nas, Rakim to Tupac, a man whom Skolioné strongly admired for his empowering messages and political activism, Skolioné was sparked to take the rap game to a level that would create the mindset of the “hood†from being a negative persona into a positive one. He aspires to create opportunities within his music that can motivate his listeners from all walks of life, as well as guide them to a direction whether political or educational. He believes that life is not all negative and if you put your mind to things, the outcome is rewarding.This invigorating rapper began his involvement in the entertainment industry by being a model for Tommy Hilfiger in the late 90’s and with time expanded his abilities to what today is an accomplishment of 5 music videos, involved in numerous mixtapes, obtaining a devoted fan base with over 2 million play hits online, in production of creating a man’s urban wear and accessory line as well as currently working on a few movie scripts for an upcoming major motion picture film. All these are just some of the multi-talented skills Skolioné has displayed to show his determination.If you think his diversity ends there, well, it only has begun. Skolioné has proven to be a force to be reckoned with. He has performed in various parades including the New York’s Annual Puerto Rican Day Parade. He has also been the opening act to an array of artist including 50 Cent, Jim Jones, Rick Ross, Sean Paul, just to name a few.Skolioné describes his music and lyrical skills as “unorthodox.†His uniqueness is not only a rare commodity but rather endless and phenomenal.Skolioné is not only a “rapper†but a “translator†ofHis Story….
