A conscious rapper does tend to scare people, someone’s that’s actually willing to write about things that matter. On top of that, add a bit of humour and humility to it. It’s nice to see this kinda hip hop is still thriving all over the UK and Skittles, from Manchester is challenging subjects some people shy away from, from the police to selling drugs to terror alerts. Riding beats that Maverick Sabre wishes he could eat up, and content, wordplay and storytelling skills that Scroobius Pip would be proud of, Skittles is definitely one to look for.
With his second album ‘Poor With £100 Trainers’ forthcoming, 2011 is looking a busy year for him. The production credits on the album include Manchester’s own MRK1 and Chimpo, so expect nothing less than high-end cuts on the album.
The Promo EP for the album is available to download at http://www.oneguycalledskittles.com/ and features Skittles on the buttons as well as the mic.
