Critical Praise for HBK Skipper:

“He continues to fine-tune his incredibly catchy brand of West Coast-infused rap.” – HotNewHipHop

The Video:

A prolific party-starter with deep roots in the Bay Area, Richmond rapper Skipper is one of his hometown scene’s unsung heroes. Twisting triplets over an ethereal trap-style instrumental, Skipper shares the defiant denial “Nah.” Featuring a standout guest verse from Oakland’s AKAFrank, “Nah” is a boastful and infectious new banger, finding the two emcees stunting on wannabes and flexing his considerable wealth. Premiered by Young California, the video finds Skipper and Frank strutting in slo-mo down the streets of San Francisco, accompanied by animated doodles that accentuate their slick lyrics. “Nah” is the latest single from the upcoming Prezidential, following the IAMSU-featuring “Right Time.” premiered last week by L.A. Leakers.

Charismatically celebrating the good life, Skipper is one of the original members of the HBK Gang, tearing up regional clubs and radio stations and teaming up with IAMSU and former HBK member LoveRance for the inescapable club hit “Up,” which reached #2 on the Billboard Hip-Hop and R&B charts. Skipper has been an integral part of many other HBK hits, including “Never Goin’ Broke” and “Swaggin,” which reached the Billboard Hot 200. The latest chapter in his Skip 4 Prez series, Prezidential is a populist rap record, stacked with crowd-pleasing anthems and potential hits. Glistening with high quality production from the likes of Montage, Cuddy On The Beat, Jabari The Great, and more, Prezidential proves Skipper’s ability to navigate a variety of instrumentals, like the ethereal “I Don’t Care,” the trappy “Nah,” and the mob-like, bass-heavy “Posed To.” Featuring appearances from IAMSU, Kool John, AKA Frank, and ymtk, the EMPIRE-distributed Prezidential arrives on February 2nd.
