| Releases: | [The Foundation] [Turntable] [No More Games] [Mixopolis : Crate One] [Starting From Scratch] [Reintroduction of the DJ] | | Info: | Since the early age of 8 years old DJ Skillspinz, hailing
from Georgia, has always been close to a turntable.
Skillspinz is now the official DJ of the Gotee crew Grits,
since September 2003. Coming into the hip hop game DJ
Skillspinz held it down at a single event called Cru-vention
in 1997 as the DJ for legendary groups such as LPG & The
Tunnel Rats, Sup the Chemist, and Knowdaverbs.
Attention
Skillspinz quickly gained the attention of artists such as
Grits, Crossmovement and Verbs formally Knowdaverbs and soon
after recording his (Verbs) e.p. "Knowdaverbs" and
provided the cuts on "I Got It Made." A remake of the old
school song.
Mixtapes
After making many mixtapes Skillspinz achieved a record deal
with Rescue Records releasing his first official solo album
"Reintroduction of the DJ" in 2000. He was the first to
release a record of it's kind with "quick tornado" type
heavy scratches (which he likes to call) and a barrage of
mixing with hard beats.
Artists
Skillspinz served as the DJ for such artist like The
Ambassador (Crossmovement Records) to Gotee Records artist
Grits in 2004, which he can be heard on their 2004 release
"Dichotomy A." He can also be seen in the video "Hittin"
Curves." With his skills on the turntables over shadowing
his beat making skills, he produces some of the tightest
joints like "Shadow Dance" from Playdoughs album "Lonely
Superstar" (2002) to his fully produced record
"Reintroduction of the DJ" (2000), which garnered a Dove
Awards consideration.
Focus
The DJ states about his focus on his life: "The Lord spoke
to me and said in order for me to have longivity, I will
have to abide in Him and seek His face. My gift will only
take me so far but people will want meat to eat which is His
word." Tired of playing games, Skillspinz devotes not only
his music, but his life to preaching no other gospel as Paul
says in Galatians 1.
Awards
In 2005, DJ Skillspinz was nominated for a U.G.A (urban
gospel association) award for the best gospel mobile DJ.
He's also shared stages with Kirk Franklin, Fred Hammond,
and Mary Mary just to name a few.
Distribution
The new upcoming release called "The Foundation" scheduled
for the DJ in 2007. His record Mixopolis : Crate One was
very hard to get, because it did not have any official
distribution.
These problems should be over, since DJ Skillspinz entered a
distribution deal as of March 15th, 2006 through the
Atlanta-based Holy Hip Hop Music label. The label announced,
that it will use it's multi-year Strategic Alliance with
EMI Gospel to exclusively distribute, the new DJ Skillspinz
products.
Albums
The DJ is released The Foundation, through Holy Hip Hop, in
2007. This record is evolved from the album announced
earlier "No More Games" (2005).
The project "Starting from Scratch" did not see the light
of day because of label problems. |
