In a world where the music scene is constantly evolving, one artist stands out with a style that is unabashedly his own. SkeezyUbhrazy, the rap and singing sensation from Watts, California, has just released his latest project, "Checkmate," a six-track mixtape that is as real as it gets. Known for his distinctive "pain & truth" sound, SkeezyUbhrazy is breaking new ground with music that resonates with life's raw emotions and unfiltered truth.
Growing up as the youngest of 15 siblings in Watts, SkeezyUbhrazy's journey has been anything but ordinary. From early days of participating in local showcases to traveling the world to grow his fan base, he has carved out a path that is as unique as his sound. "I would make my own genre if I could," he says, describing his music as coming from a place deep within, a place where he can become the wave instead of following someone else's.
SkeezyUbhrazy's musical odyssey began at the tender age of eight, when he first started experimenting with beats alongside his brother. Although he admits that those first compositions were raw at best, it was as if a lightning bolt struck him when he heard his voice over a beat. "Music was my therapy," he confesses.
This passion has only intensified over the years, inspired by legends like Lil Wayne and 2Pac, and modern artists such as Lil Kee and NBA YoungBoy. Yet, perhaps his most profound muse is his daughter, who he credits with reigniting his musical spark.
"Checkmate" is a mixtape born out of adversity and introspection. Featuring production work and collaboration with Dough Gwalah, this project is more than just a collection of songs—it's a testament to SkeezyUbhrazy's life experiences and emotional journey.
The mixtape's title was inspired by the personal struggles he has faced: losing his mother while incarcerated, an event that left him speechless and compelled him to channel his emotions into music. The track "All This Violence That I'm Facing" came to life during a reflective studio session, capturing his inner turmoil and resilience.
"I'm not just a street artist," SkeezyUbhrazy explains. "My music is to show people there's more to me than just the street life." It is this commitment to authenticity that makes "Checkmate" a project to watch. With a music video slated to drop on January 23 in Watts, fans are eager to experience the raw energy and storytelling prowess that SkeezyUbhrazy promises.
For fans and newcomers alike, SkeezyUbhrazy's strong presence on social media is a gateway to his world. Follow him on Instagram @skeezyUbhrazy or listen to his work on SoundCloud to dive deeper into his sound. As 2025 approaches, he has big plans for his audience, including TikTok challenges and upcoming merchandise that aims to engage and expand his community of supporters.
SkeezyUbhrazy is more than a name in the industry; he's a force that's rapidly gaining momentum, with "Checkmate" heralding his rise in the music scene. Fans can expect nothing less than raw, heartfelt music that challenges conventions and offers a glimpse into the life and mind of an artist destined to change the game.
