Bio
Pottie Skippen are six (6) guys who met on campus at Marshall University in Huntington, WV in early 2006 and shared a desire to express their creativity and faith in Christ through hip-hop music. Soon after a few initial meetings, they got together in the studio, songs started forming, and an album started to take shape. No less than 4 months later, they had completed the full-length (24 track debut), entitled "The Ballad of Pete Rose" - this album spawning such hits as "Darkworld", "Insignificant like Nickels and Dimes" and "Do the Rumpelstiltskin".
Soon after the completion of "...Pete Rose", the band began taking their energetic art to the stage, performing live in and around their hometown, having already shared the stage with Bradley Hathaway and Darel, Jr. and having members appearing frequently at open mics all around town.
Now the New Year is upon us and not even a year old, we find the band back in the studio recording their follow up album (a 6 song group EP also including 6 additional tracks, each a solo - one by each six members, with a scheduled release for early 2007).
Exciting things are in the works for Pottie Skippen! More shows are being booked...a new album is coming out...amazing solo work from each member...new fans...new friends... good times...and through it all, their focus remains the same: to share with the world the LOVE and GRACE of JESUS CHRIST through the best underground hip-hop music you've ever heard (out of Huntington, WV that is...)
