Archive material and source history
Mad Skillz was a hip-hop duo active in the mid-1990s, made up of Mad Skillz (Jeff Forte) and Prince Paul (Paul Huston). They put out their first album, 'From Where???!!!,' in 1995. The following year, they released 'Spectrum,' which included the single 'All In It.' That track got some radio play and became a recognizable part of their catalog.
Their time on A&M Records was cut short when the label filed for bankruptcy in 1997. They later moved to Def Jam, though that arrangement reportedly had its tensions. After the duo phase, both members worked separately. Mad Skillz released solo albums like 'From Babylon to Timbuktu' in 1999 and 'The Mad Skillz LP' in 2002. Prince Paul built a reputation as a producer, working with groups like De La Soul.
Among their other tracks are 'Ya Favorite Joints' and 'Doin' Time In The Cypha.' Their sound from that mid-90s period, with its raw lyricism and Prince Paul's production, still gets mentioned by listeners who were around for it.
