Now that his fan base has been growing for the past couple of years Skip, as many friends call him, wants to branch out internationally. Skipper Jones has been making his own way for the past year; with various shows, music releases, and videos. Focusing on his sound and versatility he aspires to change the look of hip hop in a way that everybody will enjoy. His first song, “Cool Dude” was shocking to people because it was different and made sure we knew he was not just another rapper. His next two songs “Vegas” and “Live It Up” were about enjoying life and having a great time. With bars that make you go, “Who is that?” there’s no reason why he won’t be up there with the greatest artists. When speaking to Skip, you’ll learn that he is not your average rapper. Born and raised in Atlanta, GA, this “cool dude” grew up listening to all types of sounds. This appreciation for music turned into a fascination which began to push him to produce music from since the seventh grade. At the age of 23, his biggest inspirations are his son and music, a combination that can only become the recipe for success.
