Hella Sketchy was a member of the Soundcloud supergroup known as D1. This supergroup also consisted of producer Ginseng (rap alias Lil Wintr), producer Shiro, producer Despair, and rapper Marcelo.
Jacob was a very talented and successful producer, producing for musicians such as JuiceWRLD, Tay-K, Ugly God, Wintertime, Lil Tracy, PnB Rock, Pollari, and Warhol.SS. He also worked with other well-known producers such as Charlie Shuffler, Diablo, and Ginseng. His first early success came with the single "Spent A Check", which has amassed over 1 million views on YouTube. Some of his other most popular songs include "Llama" and "Stupid". His impact on the SoundCloud underground scene can't be denied and his music will be here as a reminder of the damage drugs can cause and the wonderful person that was taken too soon. LLJ 🕊

Marcelo in this bitch
I got Skechers on my feet, yeah
When I'm runnin' through the street, yeah
Yeah, I keep like 20K, woah
Just sitting in my jeans, woah
Lil' shawty like a queen, yeah
Ayy, we gon' run it up, woah
Yeah, we gon' make a scene, woah, woah
All designer what I'm dressin'
Makin' impression, no question
I used to sit down in detention, yeah
Now I'm the one that's teaching lessons
Louis Vuitton, Fendi, no, they are not ready
Yeah, I'm Hella Sketchy, give me credit for your trends, please
Pikachu flexin', mix it with the Gucci
Rollin' up the molly and she trippin' on the lucy
Gettin' to the bag, that's the money way
She gon' throw it back, 'cause she know I'm paid
I ain't goin' out sad, I'ma smoke away
Twenty grams straight gas gone in one day
I got Skechers on my feet, yeah
When I'm runnin' through the street, yeah
Yeah, I keep like 20K, woah
Just sitting in my jeans, woah
Lil' shawty like a queen, yeah
Yeah, she gon' ride with me, yeah
Ayy, we gon' run it up, woah
Yeah, we gon' make a scene, woah

In the second verse, the rapper talks about his expensive taste in fashion and name-drops various brands such as Louis Vuitton and Gucci. He mentions his growth from sitting in detention to teaching lessons through his music. In the latter half of the verse, the rapper talks about doing drugs with a girl and how she throws it back because she knows he's paid.

The Grandfather of Hyperpop, The Godfather of Plugg beats! - LONGG before these even had genre names keep in mind! I would even argue next to David and Jack, he's one of the Founding Fathers of Digicore as a whole and just such a MAJOR MAJOR important and key icon in the annals of our generation. RIP SKETcoCHY </3
I'm 28 now but when from 14-25 used to be extremely addicted to Oxycodone, Heroin (both before the Fentanyl ordeal believe it or not lmao i'm old) ! Amphetamines, doing shitty X pills all the time man, Shrooms and Acid and every Benzo under the sun you wanted! haha.
Pills were real and flooding middle-america so it was a different time.
I remember the fun. But when Jacob died bruh it was imo 200% more REAL FEELING than Lil Peep's death a little while before (or XXX or anyone really) SIMPLY because it just showed the world that it DEAD. ASS. Can take 6 months or so - to essentially take your life, you CAN die at motherf**king 18 years of age which is SOOOOOO YOUNG BRO. Being 28 now it's like fuck me man. LA was a part of this too, given that he moved out there at the tail end of the whole No Jumper wastecore trendy scene shit - and died legitimately less than a year later.
But god damn it the older i've gotten the more I realize how so awesome and swagged to death Jacob really truly was, so amazingly ahead of his time and simultaneously very much so OF his time. RIP - My kids will know you're a mf legend bro that's all I can say lmao.
