KHH: Now let’s talk about your other company, Skee Music. You recently partnered up with Nipsey Hussle, and will manage him and look over his brands. What else can we expect from the partnership?Continue reading interview at KillerHipHop...
Skee: With Nip’ it’s just a great situation. We’ve always worked together on the music side, and the opportunity presented itself for us to get down in a bigger scale on the business side. It’s just been great man. Nipsey is an incredible artist. I truly believe in not just his music which is amazing, but his overall vision, and his whole brand. Having the resources that we have from all the platforms we have like, Skee.TV, and multiple brand relationships, as well as just our thoughts on what the music industry is today, I think we’re really going to be able to make history, and do some stuff that [are] going to shock the market. I really look at him having a huge, long, long, long, long, long, long, career. So we’re very excited about what we can do.
KHH: Now rumor is that Nipsey will sign to Rick Ross’ Maybach Music Group. You have even tweeted a picture of him in the studio with Ross which just adds to the rumor. Can you inform us on the current situation?
Skee: Shout out to Rick Ross. I mean Nipsey right now is all his money, it’s “All Money In”. We have our partnership with Skee.TV. There’s definitely a lot of talk. There’s people exploring stuff. But there’s nothing officially [written] out. I can say that Nip’ and Ross are homies. We’ve sat down and chopped it up with Ross a few times. I voted for [Ross] as the #1 MC of mine when I was on the MTV Hottest MC list, when they [gave] me my questionnaire. So there’s no question the dude is killing it. I definitely look forward to working with him in whatever [fashion] that is. So stay tuned, but there’s nothing signed, sealed, and delivered right now. But, you never know what could happen.
KHH: But is Nipsey even looking to sign anywhere? Like not even Maybach Music. Or is he just trying to build his own brand? What are you guys thinking right now?
Skee: I mean with Nipsey its always been his own brand. He just said he was getting off the label. But, whatever comes along, and makes sense for him he’ll definitely do that. I mean he’s not going to [rule] anything out. There’s a lot of talk about the Maybach Music, and all that stuff, and there’s definitely interesting opportunities out there. At the end of the day it’s really up to Nip’. He wants to see where his career is going to go. I know he’s really proud of what he’s built with his brand. There was times were he had gotten off the label, and was on his own with his crew, and [it was] providing for them. So anything he can do to enhance that. Now or later whatever that is he’ll definitely do that. But, he definitely has the platform to accomplish that on his own.
