After an extended absence from the hip-hop scene, "Will-Ski" re-emerged. This time strictly a producer using the shorter moniker "Ski." Ski formed a partnership with Darrien Dash, cousin of Damon Dash. Together, they co-founded "Roc-A-Blok" productions, as a sister company to the then fledgling, Roc-A-Fella Records. Ski contributed four tracks to Jay-Z's debut album, "Reasonable Doubt." These included the hits "Dead Presidents," "Politics as Usual," and "Feelin' It."
Ski established a reputation for his organic production style. He was a contemporary to DJ Premier and DJ Clark Kent. Ski was hired to provide tracks for AZ, Lil' Kim, and Fat Joe.
Ski worked very closely with the Bronx hip-hop duo Camp Lo producing their entire debut album "Uptown Saturday Night". He found success with the hit singles "Coolie High" and "Luchini". Later, Ski signed the group Sporty Thievz and rapper Pace Won to his "Rok-A-Bloc" label and produced the bulk of their material.
Recently, Ski has produced songs for Foxy Brown, Nature, and Proof. Ski continues to produce for Camp Lo, providing most of the production for their second album Let's Do It Again and also their third album "Black Hollywood". Ski has also worked with underground rapper and fellow North Carolina native J. Bully entirely producing his debut "Southern Exposure".

Ski Beatz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Uh, this ain't spitting
This is monkey flipping
We keep guns on hip and
You don't want no friction
And of course we still run the shit and
No toilet bowl nigga
On silly competition with
Their weak compilations
We be thirty deep, it's easy
We'll stomp your face in
Two hundred cash for them cars we racin'
And we want the cash even though
It's the root of Satan
Debatin', they love the way I floss 'em
The chicks say he's awesome
With no prejudice, it's just
I love a sexy bitch
White, black, yellow, purple
Have them on some X and shit
Double stack, hopping out the bubble back
Porsche motherfucker
Get your thoughts mother fucker
And some say I'm bipolar cause I
Stay high like the solar
This is the concrete jungle
The game don't fumble
Stand tall like Mutombo
Reporting like Bryant Gumble
And, I hope my name don't
Fumble out your mouth
Watch you mouth if the cops do come through
This is the concrete jungle
The game don't fumble
Stand tall like Mutombo
Go! (go, go, go)
I'm a money machine
Counting rap dollars at a sickening volume
While losers was counting on me not popping
Suckas was getting pissed since
I was plotting
On taking ownership of all of this
And I almost got it
Haters bump me on the low and
Don't tell nobody about it fuck it though
Not another bar for the suckers
My bucket low, Arizona Grape flavored
In my cup holder, these cars may look alike
But yours is much slower
This the big dog motor
Should have saved up for it
But fools be in a rush
To touch something quick
You took the easy route
And copped a fucking V-6 with your lame ass
I'm pouring liquor on your bitches, Spitta
Dame Dash
Homeboy that's church like stained glass
Old school super goose, no brake pads
Go into the store and get some
Papers when the rain pass yeah
This is the concrete jungle
The game don't fumble
Stand tall like Mutombo
Reporting like Bryant Gumble
And, I hope my name don't
Fumble out your mouth
Watch you mouth if the cops do come through
This is the concrete jungle
The game don't fumble
Stand tall like Mutombo
Go! (go, go, go)
The song "Go" by Ski Beatz is a powerful declaration of dominance and confidence. The lyrics convey the idea that the artist and his crew are in control, running the show without any hesitation. The opening lines, "This ain't spitting, this is monkey flipping," suggest that their rapping style is beyond ordinary, taking it to a whole new level. The reference to keeping guns on their hips indicates that they are fully prepared for any conflict or friction that might arise. They proclaim their superiority over their competition, dismissing their weak attempts and asserting their dominance in the industry.
The lyrics also touch upon material wealth, with references to racing cars and the pursuit of cash. However, there is also an acknowledgment that money can be seen as the root of evil. The artist mentions that despite that recognition, they still desire money and are willing to go after it. The mention of being "bipolar" is likely an allusion to their constant state of being high, which further emphasizes their carefree and unbothered attitude.
The chorus of the song reiterates the idea of being in the unforgiving world of the concrete jungle, where they have to stand tall and avoid fumbling or making mistakes. The mention of Mutombo and Bryant Gumble adds an additional layer of confidence and stature to their status. The artist warns others to be careful with their words and actions when the police are present, implying that they are operating on the edge with their activities.

My bucket low, Arizona Grape flavored
I have a low-riding car with a flavor or style inspired by Arizona Grape drink
In my cup holder
In the place where I hold my drink while driving
These cars may look alike
These vehicles may appear similar
But yours is much slower
However, yours is significantly slower
This the big dog motor
I have a powerful and impressive engine in my car
Should have saved up for it
You should have been patient and saved money to afford it
But fools be in a rush
But foolish people are in a hurry
To touch something quick
To acquire something quickly or without caution
You took the easy route
You chose the uncomplicated or less challenging path
And copped a fucking V-6 with your lame ass
And bought a weak V-6 engine with your unimpressive self
I'm pouring liquor on your bitches, Spitta
I am disrespecting or humiliating the women associated with you, Spitta
Dame Dash
Similar to how entrepreneur Dame Dash operated or made moves
Homeboy that's church like stained glass
That statement is absolutely true or undeniable
Old school super goose, no brake pads
I ride an old school super bike without brake pads
Go into the store and get some
Go to the store and buy
Papers when the rain pass yeah
Rolling papers to smoke marijuana when the rain stops
I hope my name don't fumble out your mouth
I hope you do not speak negatively about me
Watch you mouth if the cops do come through
Be careful and control your words if the police arrive
Stand tall like Mutombo
Be confident and unwavering like the basketball player Dikembe Mutombo
