From the streets of Fontana, California, emerges an artist whose name alone carries both a mission and a message: M.A.D.S.K.I.L.L. — Music Apologetically Directed Scriptural Knowledge In Lyrical Language. Known as the Lyrical Lozenge and Poetry CHH Chef, he’s cooking up a sound that blends jazz, hip hop, and scripture into what he calls “soul food music.”
A Legacy Born in Music
For M.A.D.S.K.I.L.L., music isn’t just an art form — it’s a birthright. His father, a jazz pianist, instilled in him a love for rhythm and improvisation before he could even walk. While most toddlers played with toys, he soaked in melodies underneath his father’s electric piano, affectionately nicknamed Bertha. Those early jam sessions and late-night recordings planted the seeds for a lifelong journey in music.
Growing up, he sharpened his skills in freestyle battles across Los Angeles, Orange County, and Riverside, building a reputation for sharp wit and lyrical depth. But his story took a pivotal turn in August 2002, when he rededicated his life to Christ. From then on, his pen was no longer just a weapon for battle—it became a tool to deliver the uncompromising Word of God through rhyme.
Battletested and Beyond
The road hasn’t been easy. M.A.D.S.K.I.L.L. has faced heart surgeries, devastating personal losses, even losing his childhood home to the Altadena fires. Yet, through every storm, his faith has been unshaken. “God is good no matter what,” he says. That resilience is etched into his music, especially in his track Battletested—a raw, honest reflection of blood, sweat, tears, and triumph through grace.
His perseverance has opened doors to international platforms, including features on Hope Jamz Radio and The Afternoon Show in the UK. But for him, accolades matter less than the opportunity to glorify Christ and uplift souls.
The Dawachman Era
Now, M.A.D.S.K.I.L.L. is preparing to launch his most ambitious project yet: his new album Dawachman, dropping September 25, 2025, on all platforms. The 17-track project is a feast of lyrical lozenges — nourishing lines designed to heal, uplift, and challenge listeners. Jazz, hip hop, and poetry collide, all seasoned with the scriptures. And while fans may look for big-name features, M.A.D.S.K.I.L.L. insists the album already has the ultimate guest: “The Holy Spirit is featured in every track.”
Eyes on the Future
Looking ahead, his vision is clear. He wants to continue creating clean, creative content that injects hope into a world drowning in despair. His dream? To see his music serve as a soundtrack for uplifting films and shows — extending his mission beyond stages and streaming platforms, into living rooms and theaters where hearts need encouragement most.
M.A.D.S.K.I.L.L. isn’t just another voice in Christian hip hop. He’s an artist rooted in jazz, sharpened in battles, tested by life, and anchored in scripture. And with Dawachman on the horizon, he’s ready to remind the world that music can feed the soul when it’s cooked with purpose.
