Born and raised in central West Virginia, Ryan “R-Skid” Skidmore has started to expand outside of his home state’s borders. The 20 year-old rapper/songwriter/producer released his latest official project entitled “Most Likely To Succeed” on November 3rd, 2010, and has since begun to prove that the superlative title fits. He brings a very organic brand of hip-hop to the table. Witty wordplay of an MC twice his age, a positive message, tasteful humor, soulful voice samples along with instrumentation that varies from brass and guitar to dreamy synths, and a high-energy live show separate the guy many call Skiddy from so many other artists of the genre. Coming off performances around the tri-state area as well as in Atlanta, Washington D.C., and Baltimore over the past year and a half, the rising artist is on a mission to spread his word to the masses and ultimately do what he and his growing fan base say he is most likely to do: succeed.
