Black Skeptik was born Kyle Sutton, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to a Caucasian right-wing catholic teenager who had a fling with a Black communist jazz musician in 1980. After falling victim to the horrors of addiction in trenton NJ and dropping out of high school, his story continues to develop into one of triumph, after beginning with a clean slate and a GED.
At age 20 he started winning poetry slams in NYC with a concept-strong, socially-sharp raw hip hop delivery. Through an at-risk youth scholarship program, Black Skep attended Rutgers University and formed the acclaimed underground hip hop group, Thought Breakers. By the time he graduated Rutgers with a B.A. in Spanish, Thoughbreakers were local legends, having opened up for Wyclef, Fat Joe, Tallib Kweli, and Dead Prez, and sold 10,000 copies of their Album, Episode One. Just to imagine only years ago he was headed toward prison.
After his poetry career has taken off with Mayhem Poets playing theatres all around the country, Black Skeptik has returned to the roots of his distant family with concept driven hip hop music. His debut solo “The One Drop Rule” is in the works and will feature KRS ONE, BUSTA RHYMES and more, with production by BLOCKHEAD and JZONE.
