Mixtape: Young Slapz and M. Dizz

So Slapz and Dizz are at it again, today they released the 'We Wasn't Bullshittin' Power Pack'. They're not rapping as a duo this time, two separate mixtape joints, one camp. Shoutout to Nate Hickman on the graphic design tip.

I'm So Skigh High

Who is Skigh High? A question that many people (especially if you're Facebook friends with any of them) have been wondering for quite some time. Well I sent some questions to M. Dizz, Young Slapz and G. Wood to get some kind of understanding as to who they are and why we should care. They talk about everything from their projects to haters. Also, peep the song they made for my birthday. How cool is that? Introducing, Skigh High.



AW: How did you guys come together to decide you want to do this?


Slapz: We were sitting in Dizz room chillin' and we were listening to some artist who people claim to be the top ten artist in the game (Gucci, Soulja Boy, etc). We figured that we, lyrically, were better than most people, and had better stories on life to tell as well. We love making history so we decided to embark on a journey to bring Detroit hip-hop back. I (Slapz) had never been serious about rapping but I knew I had a slight talent in it that could grow if I put my mind to it. Dizz and G.Wood had tried to make something pop in high school but it never happened the way they planned until now. Long story short, we all had talent, Dizz could produce and rap, and I could rap so we started NGC. We told G.Wood and Lyricz about NGC and how we were about to take this to a serious level and bring Detroit back into hip-hop. They linked up with us and we became a label/entertainment group called Skigh High ENT, NGC is the duo and G.Wood & Lyricz are solo artists, we all work on the projects and mixtape collab together and make the camp grow by working with other artists and putting on for the camp. We did not think it would grow into what it is now in such a short time.

AW: What's the meaning behind the name?
Slapz: We started out as "Skool Boyz Entertainment" but we didn't think that would fly for long since we wouldn't be in school forever but we would be in hip-hop forever, so G.Wood said "Sky High Entertainment" because we headed to the sky/top. M.Dizz said that's too cliche if we use that we have to add our own spin to it so he said "Skigh High Entertainment". Everybody agreed. Thus we created the motto "Skigh High the clique because we're headed to the stars".
AW: Who exactly is in Skigh High?
Slapz: Skigh High has grown a lot; it started with NGC (Young Slapz & M.Dizz), G.Wood and Lyricz, as the founding fathers. We added La'Dell Germaine as an R&B artist, and A.Fresh.Kid (Raphael Worthy) as a graphic designer for our covers, flyers, business worker, etc. Erika Talbert was added as a marketing/street team chair, most ,if not all, marketing ideas have stemmed from her brain. We then wanted to make the group more versatile and make our fan base grow by connecting with different artists, therefore we added D.Rice and C.Wil, and our two newest members Juice & Chell Crowell as a R&B artist. We added Derron "Indefinite" Davis as our youtube.com chairperson, and he is an artist as well. We have Jasmine Christopher, Onetress Robinson, Phillip Talbert, and Randall Williams as the E-Board of the Skigh High Street Team which we are currently taking resumes and applications for. As you can see Skigh High isn't compiled of only artist it goes deeper than that—much deeper. There is a spot for everybody in Skigh High,you wouldn't notice that on the outside looking in, but we are cool on the artist tip as of now. We are currently working with Faris Wright of Self Made L.L.C. to become our manager and take this to the next level. Details for that will be released later….
AW: Skigh High seems to be releasing a lot of projects, have you ever thought you were releasing too many?

Yay or Nay: Skigh High

While I may have been on hiatus, the Nitty Gritty Committee has not. I "missed" tons by not posting, but these fellas stayed right on track. They released their mixtape Skool Boi Chroniklez Vol. 1: Class is in Session, in September, and have been performing both on stage and in class since. If memory serves me correct, they opened for Wiz Khalifa at a show in East Lansing and are in the studio working on something new.
These songs were sent this week, consider it a Christmas gift from the boys of NGC: Dizz, Slapz, and DJ Bonecrusher. So what do you think? Like one or hate them all? Yay or Nay: NGC

*My memory almost served me correctly, they will be opening for Wiz Khalifa Jan. 17 for his performance in E. Lansing. The time I was referring to was the contest to be selected...My mistake.
