Growing up in New Orleans, SK had the opportunity
to witness some of the greats including rappers
like Lil Wayne and Master P. Now he’s crafting
his own lane. The rapper's first album GENTRILLY,
debuted in 2018. After accumulating some major
success, he’s preparing for his October
release of California Lifestyle.

Before moving out west, much of David’s life was
spent growing up in the Gentilly neighborhood
located between the 7th and 8th ward of New
Orleans. Although music was flourishing in
the city, it wasn’t always the safest place
to live — at the time, some were referring
to the city as “The Murder Capital”.

In 2005, Hurricane Katrina forced SK and his
family to leave everything behind. Although
he didn’t know it at the time, the tragedy
would bring him closer to music. While
moving between states the rapper found
himself listening intently to artists
like Boosie, Lil Wayne, and Curren$y.

“Each state had influenced the music that I
listened too, a lot of people don’t realize
this but back then Soulja Boy
was huge in Mississippi. ”

Each of those experiences formed SK into the
man and rapper that he is today. The diverse
cultures and styles that he witnessed eventually
made their way into his music. SK has a variety of
different tones that he uses when making a track.
This includes his deeper speaking voice, a lighter
singing voice, and autotune effects.

“The idea for switching up the flows and the
voices came from my early performances. Back
in High school my friends and I were well known
for throwing some of the biggest parties in New
Orleans. I’d get up on the stage and just rap,
people loved it, especially when I would switch
my flow on each beat. ”

After finishing his senior year, SK received
a full-ride academic scholarship to Louisiana
State University. In between his advertising
classes, he studied up on music and
entrepreneurship allowing him to
launch his first album under his
very own record label.

GENTRILLY, the album and Generation Trill, the
label are both named in honor of his Louisiana
upbringing. Through every phase in life, David
has always found ways to keep home close.

“Even as I evolve, I will never forget where I’m from.”

California Lifestyle, will be a sonic representation
of his evolution from the Gentilly streets to LA
penthouses, and while fans wait David plans to
drop visuals and singles alike.
