S.K.Y Entertainment was established in the summer of 2002 as Skyline Entertainment with 8 artists and one producer, collectively known as the A- Team. During the summer of 2002 the A- Team built a recording booth and began to record music using Fruity Loops, Cool Edit and Acid Pro. In the process 2 Full Albums were recorded. A Labratz album and Black Jez’s From the Darkness to the Light (2002).
In 2003 S.K.Y picked up 3 new artists, Fireboy, Blaise B. and Plila. Fireboy’s effortless delivery, Blaise’s insightful pen, and Plila’s all around talent were the last pieces before S.K.Y Entertainment’s trek towards the music industry. In August 2003 the A- Team collaborated on We Got Now, a local smash on the North and South sides of Chicago. The A- Team followed that with 3 solo mixtapes and the classic Business First (winter 2004), that sold approx 3000 units. The A- Team ended the year performing at Chicago’s Unsigned Hype tour with, Lupe Fiasco, Boolumaster, Malik Yusef, Grimmyville, and Cap One.
In 2005 S.K.Y Entertainment added two more producers Halved Passed and C. Phillips. Individual artists also branched out creating affiliations with, Jus Listen, 8th Letter Productions, 58, and E.T.G. A total of 5 mixtapes were released. S.K.Y Entertainment also showcased at several events at the Cotton Club, including a battle where they won beats, a music video and magazine interview. They also linked with Crucial Conflict, and The Legit Ballaz.
In 2006 Rush Hour was released with great response. Dodge and Black Jez completed solo albums. S.K.Y Entertainment has also expanded their studio, and has continued to grow musically.
S.K.Y Entertainment in its fourth year is steady with 13 artists and 4 producers. S.K.Y Entertainment aims to deliver even more compelling and appealing music, as well as build their brand. And make an even bigger mark in the independent Chicago music market. S.K.Y. Entertainment is planning to release 4 full albums including the A- Team Compilation, Fire, Blaise B. and Livewire. As well as a slew of mixtapes, along with a local club tour. Stay Tuned!!!!!
