‘The world is a stage and I’m the main attraction‘ – Skales.
The last two years have seen a handful of new age rappers make their way to the fore front. While some like M.I, Ice Prince and Vector are already known round the country, a few others are threading the same path to prominence.
One of those ‘Freshmen’ is Skales. The Edo-born, Kaduna-raised rapper easily makes the ‘Next to blow’ list as he clearly shows his intent to dominate. His ‘Heading for a Grammy‘ single created buzz for him and signing with E-M-E has certainly given him a head start in the race to relevance.
Skales clearly makes his intention on ‘Keresimesi‘. Spot-on lyrics and commendable delivery added with a catchy hook, this kid knows how to make a hot joint. His draws his inspiration from the forthcoming Christmas celebration and is smart enough to keep it at two verses.
On ‘Mukulu‘, Skales takes another route. While this single will confuse his Hip-hop fans, it will be accepted on the local front. There is however a very big similarity between his sound and that of his label mate, Wizkid. One would think Wizzy ghost-wrote the song for him.
Both songs were produced by Sarz (‘Joor oh, Joor Oh remix). Very good work
