If you didn’t see, Kendrick Lamar, ScHoolboy Q and every other TDE artist were all tweeting out question marks @skiiiwalker…much to everyone’s confusion and of course question: Who could @skiiiwalker be? Well we get that answer below with TDE signing the Chicago artist.
According to FakeShoreDrive, here’s the scoop on Lance Skiiiwalker:
“Skiiwalker is Johnny Rocket. From Chicago group The Rocketeers. Yes, this was a Chicago group from the early days of FSD — around 2008 or 2009. It was a duo consisting of D-Win and Johnny Rocket — both talented artists rising in the Chi’s crowded scene. D-Win was the rapper, while many of the beats and vocals were handled by Rocket. They were dope. They even participated in our citywide cypher with Leaders and Enstrumental back in 2009. It was called The GO! Experiment. The group would eventually break up, but not before Johnny Rocket made his way to LA to link with Kendrick and TDE. Obviously there’s a bigger story here — how the hooked up, what his plans are, is he dropping an album, etc. But one thing’s for sure…he’s definitely rolling with Kendrick.”
There has been word that Skiiiwalker has been spotted out several times rolling with the TDE camp and is managed by Moosa (who is signed to TDE Management). We’ll see what the future holds for Lance Skiiiwalker.
