Skent Dukes: Kid Cudi Ain’t The Only Rapper Coming Out of Cleveland!
Posted by Dewan Gibson | Filed under Arts
In the interest of full disclosure I went to high-school with hip-hop artist Skent Dukes. In fact, shortly after transferring to inner-city John Hay High from the suburban comfort of Cleveland Heights High School, Skent and his 360 degree waves greeted me with a mad-dog look from up to down. For a second I thought we’d have beef, but good hair recognized good hair and we ended up being cool.
Despite the fact that we went to school together I would never-ever, I repeat-never ever, compromise my blogging integrity to promote a friend with lackluster skills. Any artist I post on here is 1)dope 2) hungry and 3) has a certain je ne sais quoi (That’s the old/new term for “swag.” Ever since I saw a dude on Maury call himself Mr. Swaggeriffic I vowed to never use that term again).
So to finally get to the goddamn point check out Skent’s new song “Bank Roll.” I don’t have but two dance moves and I can already tell this is a club banger. In fact, I just listened to it while in the library and ended up doing The Wop in my seat. Fareal, check him out. Here’s the link: http://twiturm.com/nemmr You can find more of his music on Myspace.
