SKAM2? – The SKRONIK: Flying Monkey Murder Cirkus Album
Since his mid-teens, SKAM2? has been one of Hip-Hop’s most sought out illustrators. A self-taught-turned-professional visual artist, the Miami native has made indelible images for the likes of Eminem, A Tribe Called Quest and Dizzy Wright to name a few. But as an MC, the Miami native has deliberately maintained a lower profile. With one previous project, along with his heralded work with Eminem, ILL BILL and The Jigmastas, SKAM’s actively stepping forward with The Skronik: Flying Monkey Murder Cirkus.
SKAM2’s skewed views, his love of Rock and Rap, and his illustrator’s eye for detail come across in his lyrics on the DJ Immortal-mixed LP. Guests include La Coka Nostra’s ILL BILL, Dead Prez’s M-1, The Romantic Era, with production by Kevin Rudolf, SKAM2? himself and YMCMB producer Infamous. This industry outsider is holding his own party, where individuality, skill, and theme are heralded. At a time when everyone is clawing to be on your screen and in your face, SKAM2’s circus is an ear-grabbing carnival for the ears, the mind, and the imagination.
SKAM2? has also been keeping busy with artwork, recently working on a Deadpool variant take on ATCQ Beats, Rhymes & Life cover for the 19th Anniversary of the album. Coincidentally, Marvel announced their plans of rolling out Hip Hop inspired comic book covers shortly after. So although this is just for fun and not part of Marvel‘s releases, SKAM2? figured he might as well color what started as a sketch. What’s more legit than the original artist doing his own remix?
