“You’re one of the greats, dog, like Biggie, Pac. You’re one of the greats, homie.” – Pharrell, talking to Scipio

He’s got the stamp of approval from Pharrell and Snoop Dogg. He wrote “Here We Go,” the biggest radio and video single of Trina’s career.

A husky-voiced rapper with exemplary lyrical precision, a mesmerizing delivery and the ability to craft memorable stories as well as clever punchlines, Scipio is positioned to be the West Coast’s next superstar rapper.
