Scabb is a hip-hop artist based out of Kansas City, KS that has been releasing music since 2017 with his debut EP Nuisance. Scabb is a multi faceted artist seasoned heavily in soul and experimental samples. His love/hate relationship with himself and society with the mix of his obsession with word choice and mood switch add range to his malleable style bringing you back for a second listen. Scabb’s nostalgic melodies, raw lyricism and self centered banter that will keep you feeling engaged and refreshed. Scabb officially signed to Manor Records in the spring of 2020, but has been a part of our team as a graphic designer since we originated - he created our logo! In the spirit of Scabb’s physical art, he released a limited edition sticker pack that he designed & printed himself to pair with the digital download of the release.
Nada exclusively premiered via NPR affiliate 90.9 the Bridge on 11.05.20. Writer Michelle Bacon stated, “(Scabb) expresses that inner monologue through the EP’s playfully sardonic tunes, throwing out bars with a casual, yet tenacious delivery. He establishes Scabb as an imposing emcee who isn’t afraid to poke a little fun at himself, weaving his sharp wit between bouncing soul samples.”

…catchy, experimental samples, combined with sick rhythms, and carefully metered poetry, to ironically and genuinely shed light on Latinx American experiences, stereotypes, pride, and belonging. - Manor Records Blog
