Hailing from the live music capital of the world of Austin, TX Dred Skott has been lacing tracks with their unique sound since 2002. The differing styles between the two man group consisting of Reggie "The Genius" Coby and Octavis "ESBE da 6th Street Bully" Berry complement each other to the likes of Southern legends such as UGK and Outkast. Contrary to the sound of today's hip hop, Dred Skott moves away from spitting about materialistic possessions and swagger and provides you with a raw taste of "reality" rap, which they define as the whole truth minus the facts.
Reggie "The Genius" Coby, who is originally from Palmetto, FL has become known for his skills as a lyricist, singer, song writer, and beat production genius. He continues to bring an undeniable presence not only to the label but to the South as a whole. His local exposure alone has begun to draw comparisons to some of the games heaviest hitters like Dre, Timberland, and the Neptunes. He is most definitely a defiant force not to be reckoned with.
Octavis “ESBE da 6th Street Bully” Berry completes the group of Dred Skott with his raw and gritty delivery that cannot be denied by any MC holding a mic. There have been several known occasions where he has wrecked local competition in battles. Originally repping Chi-town, ESBE da 6th Street Bully has quickly made a name for himself in Austin with a solid technique and grimey style that warrants his alias as the "ESBE da 6th Street Bully."
In late 2008, the group dropped their mixtape "Dred Skott 4 President." With their exposure slowly increasing, Dred Skott has not only had a chance to capture hip hop heads at local shows but also had the opportunity to provide 4 unforgettable performances at the 2009 South by Southwest Music Festival. So if this is your first time hearing of Dred Skott, lend them your ears and be prepared to get captured by their rebel sound.
