***Who Are They???
“The revolution will not be televised, but thanks to Skipp Coon and Mr. Nick, it can be heard.” – Jackson
Where it all began: A DJ & an Emcee.
Skipp Coon’s (Joecephus Martin) words embody those of one that is definitely a by-product of his environment. His lines are witty & dark, sincere yet powerful and his message is thought-provoking and socially conscious, all of which complement his political, societal, and economic views. Skipp simply “makes music that allows his listeners to reflect and not feel alone in the struggle”.
Mr. Nick (Nicholas Mejia), an extremely diverse musician and multi-instrumentalist, got his start playing guitar in various bands in Miami
So… What makes these two so unique? You ask good questions.
Skipp Coon, a rapper from Jackson , Mississippi , had no idea what he and Mr. Nick, a DJ from Miami
The rapper & the DJ officially became a duo and created Women Revolution Tennis Shoes, initially released October 2008 on Skipp’s independently-owned label, TiBBiT Music. The album contains 10 tracks of Skipp’s fresh, raw lyricism and Nick’s eclectic mix of traditional and experimental sounds. Reissued February 2010, Women Revolution Tennis Shoes continues to gain Skipp Coon & Mr. Nick acclaim from a growing audience.
In concert, Skipp & Nick keep their audience engaged, as they provide a nostalgic look at where it all began: A DJ & an emcee. Skipp provides a mean, cadential flow, occasionally flashing the crowd a smile while Nick provides the sounds with with an ever-growing arsenal of buttons and blinking lights, each time giving the fans far more than they expected.
An album full of surprises and with a sound of its own, Women Revolution Tennis Shoes rattles out intense percussive beats paired with soulful and bluesy riffs, and live instrumentation to serve as the perfect backdrop to the sharp, crafty, and unmistakable flow that together make a flawless 40 minute experience.
