Skee-Lo was an anomaly in the rap world of the 1990s: his songs were profanity-free, good-time stories with a self-deprecating sense of humor. Skee-Lo was born in Chicago, Illinois, and moved to Riverside, California, at age nine. He was turned on to rap by Kurtis Blow records, admiring their down-to-earth quality. His "I Wish" single, with a video that parodied Forrest Gump, became a huge hit on radio and MTV in mid-1995, and his identically titled debut album was released shortly thereafter. In 2001, Skee-Lo resurfaced to issue his long-awaited follow-up, I Can't Stop, and it was another decade before Fresh Ideas appeared in 2012. His next new music, "Slow Down," arrived in 2024. ~ Steve Huey, Rovi
