Sami Hamed (Arabic: سامي حامد; born March 16, 1990), best known as Skinny (stylized as $kinny), is a Saudi-American rapper and record producer.
Hamed was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to an American mother and Saudi Arabian father,[1] who had met in California. After they separated, Skinny spent summers with his mother in Los Angeles. While his family exposed him to different types of music like Nirvana, he discovered rap in Los Angeles inadvertently buying a CD that featured music from 50 Cent, who became one of his biggest influences.[2][3]
