A Tribe Called Quest, BIG, Beatnuts, Redman, Wu-Tang, basically anything prior to '96.
Sounds Like
A very weird mix of Redman, Pharcyde, Beatnuts, and a lot of NY rap without all the gunplay and a bit more comedy (we don't take ourselves too serious).
If you like more Native Tongues type Hip-Hop (ATCQ, De La Soul, Black Sheep) with a splash of Latin Urban humor...well you get the idea.
Considerign that the tapes produced were extremely low budget and on a mixtape level, the beats were lifted off of popular hip-hop songs...SO NO BITCHING ABOUT THE BEATS!

About Skillz Row now hosting Da Bodega Radio show!
Skillz Row is a Hip-Hop group formed in '93 by Knut, Crow, Wallbanger (retired member), and a few others. The personify what they called "That Kaboom (cereal) funk".
Originally started by making mixtapes full of spoof songs for friends with the majority of the songs being spoofed, being Hip-hop. Within the first year, a 3rd MC, Grifter, joins and the group begins to to seriously make hip-hop songs. Their subject matter consist of drinking, partying, attemping to get laid, getting dissed, just hanging on the corner buggin out, and attacking the ever present "wack MC's".
By '95, Richie B joins as the band's only DJ, Chalk.
The group puts out self-produced mixtapes and self promotes themselves (a total of 4 tapes), gets on Manhattan Cable TV, meets with record labels (which nothin came of, as you can tell), and begins to perform wherever they are asked to in '96.
End of 1996, Kid Slice joins as a 4th MC and the group gets heard on NYU radio, freestyling from directly outside the studio. They cameo any potential MC from guest such as Ol' Dirty Jew, Fingaz, Vin Rock, and one guest DJ (name forgotten).
By the Summer of '97, Knut & Grifter leave for college, Kid Slice gets arrested, and the last album/mixtape is completed, "4 Life". Crow PAB appears on all tracks, produced by DJ Chalk, with Grifter and Knut appearing very sporadically.
Group is unfortunatly disbanded due to individual pursuits, as of Fall of '98 after a performance at a house party with all member's (past & present) present.
Crow P.A.B. recorded a few songs before finally going on haitus himself in 1999.
The group remains friends to this day.
