Executive Produced by Charles "Skeezy" Taheri Project Consultant - Sheldon "ShelbyWu" McGregor Album Beat Makers, @lenbreezy, @jaysintheschizo, @gmxxn Recorded Mixed & Mastered at Boardroom Recordings 203-325-4422 Skeezy, 24 is a local underground rapper from Stamford CT. He grew up on the westside of Stamford in the projects called fairfield court. He started doing music at the age of 14 with his friends from the neighborhood who formed a group that went by the name of "G-tek". After grauduating high school he branched off into the battling world. He has a record of 6-0. He hasn't met any other rapper who's on his level by far. He started battling all over CT. He felt like he had to be heard elsewhere so he took his talents to New York and battled someone which was big for him. After a while, he felt like his music was being limited, got stressed out and stopped making music for a while. It didn't take long for him to snap back into reality. He got right back in the studio, recorded two mixtapes called "Shotgun Music Vol 1" and shortly after that, "Shotgun Music Vol 2". It was a learning experience for him. The mix tapes weren't properly promoted. They didn't reach the level of success that he was looking for. He decided to take things to another level. Went with his natural sound, started using custom beats made by local producers which helped him create his very 1st street album,"I Gave You Power". Around the time of recording the album, alot of things were going on in his life. He had a child on the way with his high school sweet heart, and lost his close friend in a drive by shooting. He was on the path of quitting and hitting the streets. But, "If you want to achieve greatness you have to stop asking for permission." Right? After that, he realized that he couldn't just throw his life away. He went back into the studio with a purpose, to make a statement, show the world that he is the best and his voice will be heard. "I feel like I'm the best. Nobody did what I did in my city. The resume speaks for its self. I wouldn't say I'm the best if I couldn't prove it or make you a believer"- Skeezy
