Early life and career
Skrizzy performed with Debbie Allen and Savion Glover until he moved to Maryland. While in his second year in high school, he released his first album titled Puppy Power under his uncle's record label and in 2008 he signed a recording contract with Universal Music Group under which he released the single "The Melody" which was positively received among music fans.[2]
On September 12, 2016, Skrizzy released the first of his "Music We Can Fuck To" series titled Music We Can Fuck Too which featured guest appearances from notable rappers like Yo Gotti and V.I.C.[citation needed] His Jahlil Beats-produced single titled "Love L.A" charted at No. 18 during the week of July 12, 2016, on the Billboard Twitter Top Tracks.[4] On August 4, 2016, he released a mixtape titled Faded Ambition with a guest appearance from Lil Wayne and music production from producers DJ Mustard and Jahlil Beats.[6] On June 20, 2016, Skrizzy released Trill and B, a project he started recording in 2014.[7]
In 2016 Skrizzy's career path was put on hold due to thyroid cancer while also dealing with the loss of his voice, putting a pause on any new music releases for 2 years.[citation needed] On June 21, 2020, Skrizzy released a slew of new music including "Undercover hoe" which featured 24hrs.
