Skeezy, “Me”
RtgSkeezy is a rapper and songwriter from the Newburg region of Louisville, Kentucky. A proud representative of his community, Skeezy aims to follow in the footsteps of other Louisville success stories, like Jack Harlow and EST Gee, putting the city’s westside onto the musical radar.
Skeezy’s first track on major platforms, the debut single “Think I’m a Saint”, was recently released on June 23rd, 2024. “Wanna Play”, his follow-up single, was released on July 4th, 2024, and his third track, “Dirty Stick”, dropped less than 2 weeks later on July 13th.
His upcoming 4th track, titled “Me”, focuses on lyrics that dive into the Newburg artist’s feelings and emotions regarding speaking on someone’s name. He explained in an exclusive interview with RSO, “I made it because a lot of people like to speak on someone’s name but don’t personally know them or as in ‘Me’”. The track is currently unreleased, with a visualizer snippet posted to the artist’s personal instagram page and as a post on our main @RSO.Underground page.
Skeezy, also known online as “6racofrm5” and "@skeezyswrld", grew up with a passion for music and dreamed of finding a career in the artistic fields. As a teenager he began his creative journey behind the scenes, focusing on audio engineering and mixing vocal tracks for others. While these mixing gigs allowed Skeezy to gain a footing in the music industry, they failed to provide him with true creative fulfillment. Eventually, he decided to fully pursue his own music career under the name “RtgSkeezy”.
As he began this new solo venture, one of the greatest inspirations for the Louisville rapper was his brother, who was eager to support and listen to his music during this first experimental phase. Despite his prior experience with the technical aspects of making music, Skeezy self-describes his initial tracks as “shit”, thankfully having the support of his brother to keep him motivated and push him to continue to improve to a point where he was proud to display his work publicly.
In an exclusive interview with RSO Underground, Skeezy discusses his brother’s influence on his creativity, experiences starting out in music, and talks on the local music scene around Louisville.
