NATE SKEEZE
Nate Skeeze, born Nathan Skinner 21 years ago in the south side of Toronto’s Lakeshore area, is the real deal, the genuine article. He’s a man of the streets, intimately familiar with its codes and its violence, but still, Skeeze, an incredibly intelligent and deliberate man, holds himself with a regal air as if above the pettiness which surrounds him.
Skeeze found a way to escape the negative affects of his neighborhood. Hip-hop music. He fell in love with it at the age of 10 when he began to write poetry, and by the age of 13 he was already winning rap battles on the streets of Toronto against other underground artists 5 years his senior. In the years that followed it could easily be seen that Skeeze’s knack for addictive and syrupy hooks would be the key to his future success.
Like most kids in the acclaimed hoods, Skeeze had to deal with the ups and downs of growing up in the ghetto. Nevertheless has he ever tried to glorify the negativities of the hood. Although some might consider his music gangster rap, the majority of his records focus on the trials and tribulations of that lifestyle, Skeeze has seen a lot and learned a lot through his environment, his own and his associate’s experiences.
On the flipside, other than a rapper and ghost writer, Nathan Skinner was and still is one of Canada's most promising athletes. Skinner was 2005's number 1 rated High school basketball player in the country and signed to NCAA's Div 1 University of Iowa, but due to a change in the evaluation of Canadian academics by the NCAA Clearing house, he decided to go to a top ranked Junior college in Miami, Florida.
With the combination of his good looks and undenying ability to cater to the ladies and the fellas', Nate Skeeze is definately the next big thing to come out of Canada. As well being that he has lived in the U.S in the north part (Brooklyn, New York) and south (Miami, Florida), this has all influenced Skeeze’s style and distinctive difference to other Canadian artists.
