Skee-Lo

Skee-Lo, born Antoine Roundtree on March 5, 1975, is an American rapper and songwriter known for his unique style and relatable lyrics that captured the essence of '90s hip-hop culture. He rocketed to fame with his 1995 hit single "I Wish," which became an anthem for the underdog with its catchy hook and humorous, self-deprecating lyrics. The song's success led to Skee-Lo’s debut album of the same name, also released in 1995, which earned him critical acclaim and two Grammy nominations. His work often showcases a blend of whimsical wordplay and reflections on everyday life, imbuing his music with both levity and depth.

Despite the enormous popularity of "I Wish," Skee-Lo's later career did not reach the same commercial heights, but he continued to maintain a dedicated fanbase and influence in the hip-hop community. Over the years, he has released a collection of singles and records like "I Wish 2010 (Rock Remix)" that demonstrate his willingness to experiment with different sounds and styles while staying true to his rap roots. With his release "Fresh Ideas" and various other singles in the 2010s, Skee-Lo has stayed musically active, contributing to his legacy as a beloved figure in hip-hop history and a spokesperson for anyone who's ever wished for something more.
