L.O.C.K.E.D Magazine: Young Skeezo : Inspiration To Everyone

Young Skeezo was born on November 28th 1990 in San Jose California, He then moved to the Northwest when he was around the age of three. His parents separated and him and his brother went with his mom to a couple of different shelters. He was in fifth grade at the time and at one of these shelters him and his brother had gotten into trouble so his mom got stressed and left them in Longview, WA so he was going trough a lot at the time. (Don't get me wrong, I don't hate my mom or hold anything against her, she is a amazing lady, I love her and always will) says Young Skeezo. For him and his brother it was their first day in the town & they didn't even know where a store was or where to go so they sat there for about four hours. Then the police came along with CPS and they separated Young Skeezo and his brother and placed the two into different Foster homes. Young Skeezo moved around a bunch, it seemed like ever other week probably at least 20 different homes. That continued for about four years. To speed things up Young Skeezo started really getting serious about his music. When he was 16 living in Portland, (which He moved to at 14) he quickly fell in love with his city and the art of music (which he started doing music in 8th grade). By the time he was 19 he had been to the west coast Hip Hop Awards. He has opened up for artist such Mack 10, Glasses Malone, Rapping4Tay, Lazie Bone and Bizzy Bone & The Outlaws (2pacs old rap group) Young Skeezo had 2 songs done with Rapping4Tay (one yet to be finished) also his manger at the time, "Pitbull" had ties with Black Wall Street. Young Skeezo was able to get some beats from Ducenberb (The Game's best friend) Also track with Tre Little (Royce day 5'9 old rap partner of almost a decade) well just as he thought things were going to good with his music he ended up homeless. So where did he go?? Of course downtown . And that's where his life went downhill. He started smoking dope. Then selling it to support his habit and realized he was actually good at it. So he spent all his time hustling. Young Skeezo became addicted to the lifestyle as well. It wasn't to long before he started shooting dope that's when he lost his mind. He was in and out of jail so much. He was so crazy he couldn't get his mind off the drug and the power he felt by dealing it. The first thing Young Skeezo would do when he left jail was go find a shot and re up. He's not gonna glorify the selling cause that's not the message he wants, instead he's gonna concentrate on how he was lost. Young Skeezo was 120 lbs & running around arms all bruised from hitting. Face picked. Clothes dirty, hands dirty, sleeping in a doorway and when I say sleeping I don't mean he planned to sleep he just simply stopped moving and fell out. "I remember a couple times the police wakening me out cause I'm laying sprawled out on the sidewalk or the street and they said they received a call that someone was dead and their body was jut laying in the streets. I wasn't dead physically. I just went into a sycosis and walked till my body gave out." Says Youg Skeezo. He would wake up in such a fog. Not remembering how he got there. It was nuts. He would get all paranoid & not trust anyone. Young Skeezo would walk and walk till he passed out. Sometimes he would wake up still walking. He would sleep walk trough downtown. Literately doing laps. He was so stuck on this drugs he didn't care to about his music or care to contact his family unless he was in jail. When he was in his active addiction he would of been happy living that life for ever. Eating at homeless feeds and passing out under bridges. That all changed on Oct 24 when the sheriffs pulled him over coming out of his apartment and busted him with multiple bags. He was screwed, if convicted this was his second delivery which meant Prison. In jail Young Skeezo had lost his apartment,bbut recovered his life. His girlfriend Sara stuck by his side, luckily the cops were a little on the shady side and did everything that day wrong. So he beat the case..now that he looks back at it all, Young Skeezo feels he is blessed for that day and the events that went down. Now a days He is sober and have been since 9/29/2013 and he plans on staying that way. His life has drastically improved so now he wants to pass the message of hope and his experience through his music by letting people know there is a way out. He's the underdog, He is the one society didn't accept because of his actions. Now Young Skeezo lives to give back to his community that he have taken so much away from. And he states that he "wont rest till he make a change in the streets he ran and help the people that are in the situation he was."
