Rhokeheart An awesome unique emcee that has a very distinct style that is comfortable stepping outside standard timing with top notch production. Favorite track: The New Age Middle Finger.

    The debut from Analog(ue) Tape Dispenser and SKECH185 was hailed a fantastic album in 2011, its year of release by fans from the US to South Africa and by UGHH.com and Access Hip-Hop. Tomorrow King SKECH185 designed this compelling artwork that portrays exactly the murky, disrespectful, sacrilegeous, and sagacious approach that the duo take on the album. Get the physical CD and stare at it intently as the record plays.

about

Skech185 caught the attention of Galapagos4 at the age of 19 and embarked on a four-year stint with the infamous label. He began work on an album with G4s own DJ Whitelightning, an instrumentally gritty and verbally abrasive effort that was terminated due to creative differences. Now in 2011, with a solid battle history including victories at Scribble Jam and the defeat of Rhymefest, Skech185 is ready to flick a New Age Middle Finger at the world. With his hi-tech approach to songwriting, an increasing buzz coming from his solo efforts with various indie labels (such as Chicago's Fieldwerk Recordings) and packed-to-capacity live shows with Chicago supergroup Tomorrow Kings, the only thing that was missing was the right producer to help him articulate his thoughts. Full of darkly atmospheric but amazingly complex beats and boom-bap by Houston producer Analogue Tape Dispenser and a powerful voice ahead of them from Skech185. ''In anutshell, New Age Middle Finger is a philosophical reawakening of unbiased honesty as not something we say, but as something we live, a way of life that can serve as a surrogate-salvaging structure to implement in a world rooted in smokescreens.'

Says Accesshiphop.com
At first I thought he sounded a lot like K-the-I?? but coming off a little more aggressive. Sure enough K-the-I?? even did a beat on the album! When people who listen to mainstream hip hop, hear something from the underground as neutral as say Blu & Exile, they dismiss it as weird or different, but in the underground, people do the exact same thing when they hear something like New Age Middle Finger...it's an increasingly disturbing trend. Try to keep an open mind every once in a while. Fans of B. Dolan, Cannibal Ox, Third Sight, and K-the-I?? should definitely check this out!

Says UGHH.com:
i know its early but this is an INSTANT CONTENDER FOR ALBUM OF THE YEAR... absolute banger from start to finish immediately making skech185 on of the illest up 'n' coming emcees plus the production by ATD n friends is megachronic. Skech's flow/ content reminds me of abstract greats like I Self Divine, k-the-i???, Masai Bey and the G4 camp but with the ferociousness of Bumpy Knuckles or Party Arty... DO NOT SLEEP... you're all being lied to
