Mark-Anthony Greene, better known by his stage name Skrizzy and formerly known as Young Scrap, is an American rapper, singer and songwriter.[2][3] His single titled "Love L.A" from his Faded Ambition album charted at No. 18 on the Billboard Twitter Top Tracks during the week of July 12, 2016.[4] He is also credited as writing V.I.C.'s song titled "Twerk It" which charted at No. 69 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.[5]
Early life and career
[edit]Skrizzy performed with Debbie Allen and Savion Glover until he moved to Maryland. While in his second year in high school, he released his first album titled Puppy Power under his uncle's record label and in 2008 he signed a recording contract with Universal Music Group under which he released the single "The Melody" which was positively received among music fans.[2]
On September 12, 2016, Skrizzy released the first of his "Music We Can Fuck To" series titled Music We Can Fuck Too which featured guest appearances from notable rappers like Yo Gotti and V.I.C.[citation needed] His Jahlil Beats-produced single titled "Love L.A" charted at No. 18 during the week of July 12, 2016, on the Billboard Twitter Top Tracks.[4] On August 4, 2016, he released a mixtape titled Faded Ambition with a guest appearance from Lil Wayne and music production from producers DJ Mustard and Jahlil Beats.[6] On June 20, 2016, Skrizzy released Trill and B, a project he started recording in 2014.[7]
In 2016 Skrizzy's career path was put on hold due to thyroid cancer while also dealing with the loss of his voice, putting a pause on any new music releases for 2 years.[citation needed] On June 21, 2020, Skrizzy released a slew of new music including "Undercover hoe" which featured 24hrs. Covering the track, HotNewHipHop said "both artists can be heard lamenting about their issues with women and how some just want to play games, while hiding their true intentions".[8]
Taking a hiatus until July 11, 2021,[citation needed] Skrizzy released "Troublesome" featuring South Carolina rapper Renni Rucci which also premiered with HotNewHiphop who said Skrizzy and Renni Rucci are the perfect duo.[9][10] Skrizzy announced an R&B album, titled I'm Not Toxic, You Are, to be released July 26, 2024, along with a rap album tentatively titled I'm Not A Rapper 2 which is slated for release October 25, 2024.[citation needed][needs update]
