Skewby – Humble Pie EP
Earlier this week Memphis rapper Skewby released Humble Pie, a 6 song FreEP. Having already released two full digital albums, More or Less and Proving You Wrong Since 1988, the 23 year old has displayed a knack for putting out quality music. His latest work does not disappoint, as Humble Pie combines insightful lyrics with excellent beats.
Every song on the EP is powerful, but ‘Almost There’ defines the project. Skewby takes a moment to reflect on his current position in hip hop. “They tell me my time coming like I don’t have eyes, Like my mattress don’t collect the sweat that comes from the grind.” An up and comer by most standards, he anticipates his rise to stardom and recognizes the hard work it takes for him to be successful. The official video adds visuals to the story.
