Skizzy Mars
Born and raised in Harlem, New York, Skizzy Mars is unlike any NYC rapper you’ve seen in a long time. The MC recently released his highly anticipated album The Red Balloon Project earlier this month, which features G-Eazy, QuESt and Phoebe Ryan. Less than a week after its debut, the project has already made its way to No. 4 on the iTunes hip-hop album chart. His wide array of musical inspiration allows his sound to reach different genres of music. With spacey synths with traditional instruments, the rising rhyme slayer is turning heads. Pay attention. —Emmanuel C.M.

Early career
Skizzy Mars is a Manhattan native who has been able to embrace an upbringing surrounding by wealthy white people yet still remains comfortable and true to himself. He was about to go to college September of 2012 but instead met with a couple labels to talk about his song “Douchebag”. After the release of his song “Colours Remix” he decided to not go to college and peruse music for his career.

Solo career (2013–present)
With success in his singles, Skizzy has decided to continue making music and persuing his dream. He has made two mixtapes (Pace and Phases) since the beginning of his career.

The mixtape “Pace” was released in March of 2014. The artist's second full-length in total, the 12-track set directly follows 2013's Phases tape.
