Skweeky Kleen - Get Mine by Eric Merriweather
When you think of Washington, D.C. and Hip-Hop artists like Wale come to mind quickly, but the movement hasn't stopped with just Wale. Enter Skweeky Kleen, another D.C. emcee on the rise and making a name for himself in the industry. Yo! Raps had the chance to speak to Skweeky Kleen about his biggest musical inspirations, his latest single Get Mine, the D.C. Hip-Hop movement and the origin of his name. First off, let's start off with your name Skweeky Kleen. How did you come up with the moniker? I got the name from never getting caught up in the streets. You would never suspect me. You seen the movie Fresh? Well, I was a "fat fresh. [Laughs] It's been noted that you've been rapping since the age of 14. When did you know that music was the career path for Skweeky Kleen? I say about 19. By that time, I had a couple of songs out and the response was incredible so it made me believe that it was truly possible. I read that legends like Jay-Z, 2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G are noted as your biggest inspirations. Is it anything you've taken from each artist to craft your style?

Washington D.C. Rapper Skweeky Kleen Debuts by Yo Raps! Magazine
As multi-talented up-n-coming rapper Skweeky Kleen is heavily grinding in the DMV underground Hip-Hop circuit, the Washington D.C. native is excited to present his debut music video "Get Mine", directed by Byron Martinez for Empire Lifestyle Productions. My single 'Get Mine' is a track about the struggle. It's about coming from the bottom and trying to grind to the top. Haters are always trying to stand in your way. This track is letting them know that no matter what they do I'm gonna strive to get mine," explained Skweeky Kleen, who got his rap moniker as a youngster because of his ability to not get caught up by the authorities. Executively produced by Jamaica Jake for Greenhouse Ent., Skweeky Kleen lists influential Hip-Hop artists such as Jay-Z, Tupac Shakur, and The Notorious B.I.G. as the reason he started his Rap career. Following in the tradition of uncompromising and strong emcees, "Get Mine" showcases Skweeky Kleen's signature voice and crazy flow. Born premature and unable to breathe properly, a tube was inserted into his neck to help him breathe. This resulted in Skweeky having one of the most unique voices ever heard and with that voice he wanted to make a difference. At age 18, SK made his first recordings and was featured on a series of prestigious mixtapes. With the unique sound of his voice and strong, catchy lyrics, Skweeky quickly started to create a buzz in the D.C. area and beyond. With an eclectic collection of songs ranging in styles from Rap, Reggae, Alternative and more, and with lyrics ranging in emotions from funny to heartfelt, Skweeky Kleen is on his way to becoming a force to be reckoned with in the music business.
