| Releases: | [The Campaign] [Revolution Music Volume 2 (Mixtape)] [Revolution Music Volume 3] [Revolution Music : Mixtape Volume 1] [The responsibility of Sharp Skills] | | Info: | Philip Bryce Jacobs also known as Sharp Skills was born
October 9, 1984 in Inglewood, California. From a young age,
God had a strong calling and anointing on his life.
Different Direction
Sharp Skills comes from a long line of preachers, pastors,
psalmists, and evangelists. Yet at age 11, he decided that
he wanted to go a different direction. As the MC states: I
didn't want to be no preacher, I wanted to do my own
thing.
Rebel
So he began to rebel. Philip was often sent home from school
or in detention for fighting, cursing out teachers, and
other forms of terrible behavior.
Destructive Elements
This newly acquired behavior shortly began to manifest
itself in alcohol abuse, smoking weed, gang affiliation,
shoplifting, reckless sexual activity, and a host of other
destructive elements.
Omaha
The MC tells: Some days I could here my moms crying and
praying for me, she didn't raise me to be no thug. It got to
the point where she was ready to leave me in Los Angeles and
bounce to Omaha with my stepfather. I would've felt the same
way dealing with me back then.
Relocating
Sharp Skills and his family relocated to Omaha, Nebraska
when he was a freshman in high school. Though he left Los
Angeles behind, his destructive habits still followed him.
Yet God still kept his hand on his life and protected him
from himself.
Prophecy
A pastor prophesied that he would preach when he was
thirteen and God confirmed this prophecy one sleepless night
when he was sixteen. God finally got his attention that he
wasn't playing with him when he had his third near death
experience.
Seattle
When God moved he and his family to Seattle, Sharp Skills
came into a real relationship with Jesus. Sharp-Skills
stepped into the light of Jesus Christ and truly accepted
him into his heart July of 2003 at a Tonex concert.
Youth Minister
He accepted his call to preach October 7, 2003, two days
before his 19th birthday. He is currently the youth minister
of Walker Chapel A.M.E. in Seattle. He is on the honor
society at Highline Community College and will shortly be
receiving his Associates of Arts Degree.
Name
The name Sharp Skills comes from the fact he believes in
being precise and on point with whatever he puts his hands
to.
Music
Other than creating classic hip hop, his main purpose and
goal is to be an agent of change in his generation and
introduce the lost to Christ. Sharp Skills is focused on
being at the forefront on the Hip Hop scene in both secular
and gospel.
TV
An exclusive track of Sharp Skills called 'Ready For War' is
featured on the hit Fox show Bones. The track made it on the
February 14th, 2007 episode "'The Man in the Mansion".
Albums
In 2005 Sharp Skills released his debut "The Responsibility
of Sharp Skills" soon to be followed by his sophomore
recording "Revolution Music : Mixtape Volume 1" in 2006. A
Volume 3 of the mixtape series is released in 2007.
New Project
The MC announces on September 5th, 2007 a new album "The
Campaign". This record is released in 2008.
