Effective period / Period of releases: 2020 - 2023

Alex Veazey aka Damn Skippy is a hip hop artist based out of Charleston SC. Apex Predator, Rap Competitor, Video Editor! Enthusiast of Real Hip Hop, High Life beer, and Trampolines... plus your mom's favorite!!! A few blown out knees, a broken neck, a stint in film school, freestyle basement rapping, a family tie to Charleston, and meeting just one guy with a similar vision. That was what it took to turn an amateur snowboarder in Colorado named Alex Veazey into a Charleston hip-hop mainstay known as Damn Skippy. As a rapper, Damn Skippy is very much a student of 1990s hip-hop, and prides himself on fast, colorful one liners. “To me, old school hip-hop was almost like stand-up comedy, like it was about originality, punchlines, individual personalities, and things like that,” he says. “Not to say that I don’t like some of the stuff that’s coming out now. But the way I listen to it, I feel like there was more of an emphasis on creativity back then.”
