THE POTTIE SKIPPEN STORY.

Ever heard a hip hop group that makes their own music...writes their own rhymes...produces their own records...never crunk...never pimpin'...always indie...not afraid to play in bars (while talking about Jesus) and is FREAKIN' DOPE AS CRAP?
....well, if you've listened to Pottie Skippen, you have!!
Pottie Skippen are some dorky white dudes who met on campus at Marshall University in Huntington, WV in early 2005 and shared a desire to express their creativity and faith in Christ through hip-hop music. Soon after a few initial meetings, they got together in the studio, songs started forming, and an album started to take shape. No less than 4 months later, they had completed the full-length (24 track debut), entitled "The Ballad of Pete Rose" - this album spawning such hits as "Darkworld", "Insignificant like Nickels and Dimes" and "Do the Rumpelstiltskin".
Soon after the completion of "...Pete Rose", the band began taking their energetic art to the stage, performing live in and around their hometown, having already shared the stage with Bradley Hathaway (Relevent Magazine), Da'rel Jr, Just Me Theory Hazit & EF Cuttin of Scribbling Idiots (Illect Recordings) and having members appearing frequently at open mics all around town.
Exciting things are in the works for Pottie Skippen family! A new mixtape...amazing solo work from each member...new fans...new friends...good times...and through it all, their focus remains the same: to share with the world the LOVE and GRACE of JESUS CHRIST through the best underground hip-hop music you've ever heard (out of Huntington, WV that is...)
