Artist description "Faker than Platstic" is the brainchild of Joe Skilloze, a . FTP began in the early 90's as a solo project with a 4 track, broken sampler and drum machine held together by some scotch tape, in the past few years it has become a colaborative effort with just about any musician and emcee who crosses Skilloze's path. over the years I have accumulated thousands of classics produced and masterd by just one craftsman, blasted off of coke and captain.

Music Style Hip-hop rhymes and rhythm with original instrumentation both live and pre-recorded

Musical Influences Everything, but some favorites include: Guns N' Roses, Gangstarr, The Roots, early Nas, EPMD, Portishead, early Chilli Peppers, Beastie Boys, Jeru, Motley Crue, et. al.

Artist History I Basically just do this cus girls think its cool to rap. I used to try to make my music a cross of rock and rap, years before it was popular or even thought of, and well, we all know what outstanding artists that produced. so i have since stopped calling it that and refer to it now as just "my music". although it is clearly influenced by the 2 genres, i dont wanna callit raprock, hipcore, rapnroll, or wahever someone may start calling it thhinking its an original name. Bottom line is, it's rap lyrics with a little to a lot of singing, sometimes sampled music sometimes live. blah blah blah
