Kamakazi Skillz Anthony Marcel Bailey (born july 16th,1990) better known as Skillz American rapper from 155st 8th ave Harlem,Ny.Born in Harlem Hospital on 135th and 7th ave.At the age of 8 years old i began writing always to shy to let other people know what i was doing i always kept it a secret, i would hide my writings under my bed, under my pillow, wherever someone else couldnt find it. I started off writing poetry, all throughout school i would be an outcast to the other kids i never felt i belonged so becoming a writer was my escape from not being able to be social.2pac was always my favorite rapper and he also wrote poetry, i felt i could relate to who he was as a person because we shared something deeper then just rap on the streets, he was a great inspiration for me. As i got older i started to play with words and counter the norm, whenever someone told me something they heard i would try to find a clever way to flip the script, if someone suggested we go left i would be the one to argue this is why we should go right.I was different, but i realized by the time i finished junior high school that being different wasnt always a bad thing. By the age of 14 i started to write short stories for everyone in school, i never really liked the predictable "hood books" girls read in school so i thought to myself i can do this and better and have everyones attention to read my work.i was ready to express my vision through words, and as i always expected when people got to know me as a writer things would change. by the 10 grade in highschool i was on to hip hop making remixes to already popular songs and spitting my lyrics to my friends, still at this time i wasnt confident enough to go record it have it played but writing was my thing.I did my first performance in the 11th grade at a high school talent show after the show i was recognized people who didnt know i could rap were now asking me for my mixtape, girls were on me and i had the juice. By the time i turned 18 i had wrote so many songs i couldnt even keep up with them and was ready to start putting them on wax to make my debut, but i was in the streets and didnt take it serious, hustling was what i loved and chilling on the blocks of Harlem i made desicions that put me away for awhile.I went to jail for a gun charge in 2008 and music became a hobby for me not a career, it was something i loved but not something i could see happening for me. When i got out of jail i was ready to change my life, so i decided to stay off the block i went to college and my love for music and writing started to come back i saw other artist stage there talents and immediatly felt im way better then these "niggahs". So i signed up for open mic, i opened up with a poem i wrote and grabbed everyones attention, then i did a remix to the song finale by young money it was me and a few of my friends, we wrote the track proably 1 hour before the performance and had it memorized. when we went to perform the track i got the biggest response i could imagine, people there just believed in me and i appreciated all the love and just like that the old me revamped.Since then Ive recorded over 40 tracks done so many shows i couldnt even tell you ive performed for coast to coast in NYC, California Brew Haus in Rochester, Ny and have gained a fan base of people in the upstate area that love and respect me for my musical talents.
