SkeeliveA

SKEE Live episode seven went down as one of the best episodes yet. Viewers were treated to a performance and interview from G.O.O.D. Music’s Pusha T and Juicy J from Taylor Gang. Both artists turned the energy up by performing their hit singles with Pusha kicking things off with “Blocka” and Juicy following things up with “Bounce It.”

Super producer, Che Pope, took over this week’s “In The Lab” segment. Having executively produced for the likes of Kanye West, 50 cent and JAY Z, Pope shares his story and stresses he wants to leave his mark in history with music that’s everlasting.

Back in the studio with DJ Skee, Pusha T opened up on his upcoming My Name Is My Name LP, meeting Kanye West and signing with G.O.O.D. Music, his brother Malice, his relationship with Pharrell and confidently proclaimed he has the album of the year. Later in the show, Juicy J joined Pusha T on DJ Skee’s couch and touched on his relationship with Miley Cyrus, producer Dr. Luke, obtaining an unreleased Pimp C verse for his Stay Trippy LP and having production credits on a new Pimp C album set to release soon. Both artists took the opportunity to tackle topics with DJ Skee on fashion, collaborating with singer Justin Timberlake and much more.

“Spotlight” showcased reality TV star and new YMCMB signee Chanel West Coast. Chanel speaks on how she felt after meeting Lil Wayne and explains there’s a misconception of her image in the public due to her role on MTV’s Fantasy Factory.

NFL star Adrian Peterson spoke on his humble beginnings, taking his football skills to the pros and the work ethic it took to overcome a potential career ending injury. The Minnesota Vikings running back also gets personal with cameras and shares what it took for him and his family to overcome the loss of his brother at an early age.

Viewers were also treated to an exclusive song and music video from rising rap star Logic. The young and rising talent stepped up to demonstrate his lyrical skills for viewers on this week’s “Off The Top” segment.

Though DJ Skee was unable to deliver his weekly episode closing editorial, the host instead sent things back over to Pusha T who did the honors of ending the show with a performance of his hit single “Numbers On The Boards.” Be sure to tune into SKEE Live every Tuesday from 7 p.m. (PST) and 10 p.m. (EST) only on AXS TV.

Riff Raff Returns To Cable TV As An Artist, Talks Drake & Neon Icon + More on SKEE Live

Riff2

Controversial and oddball rapper Riff Raff made his debut on television as an artist in episode five of AXS TV and DJ Skee’s new show SKEE Live.  Known for his eccentric behavior, the Houston, Texas artist unapologetically made himself comfortable as he laid out across DJ Skee’s cocaine white colored couch, propped his elbows up and opened himself up to a series of questions.

 Never one to disappoint, Riff’s over-the-top personality, down South accent and vibrant attire helped the rapper shine for the cameras when it was time to go live.  The special appearance also served as the rapper’s first time performing on the small-screen.  Decked out in a signature style cut off T-shirt, Tom Ford sunglasses, a chinchilla scarf, Jordan sneakers, board shorts and plenty of gaudy jewelry, Riff Raff stayed true to himself and never attempted to turn down his familiar theatrics in front of a television audience.

At one point in the interview, Riff decided to boast about his Versace inspired hair braids and decided to pass DJ Skee his fluffy chinchilla scarf to wear during live taping.  Always a good sport, the host also found himself eventually rocking Riff’s limited edition sunglasses while the rapper enthusiastically bragged about the missing tint on the bottom half of the lenses.  It was obvious Riff Raff was in a good mood and having fun as his attention at times drifted away from the topic at hand and his sidebar commentary occasionally detoured the conversation.

The rapper’s quirky yet charismatic manners continued as he admitted to having expensive spending habits and shared with audiences that he doesn’t believe in saving money.  In fact, Riff openly expressed his need for convenience and solitude after he joked about buying a private plane and a planet of his own if he could.  Interestingly enough, the former reality TV star also revealed that fans could potentially see his music crossover to an alternative genre in the future, as he continues to branch out and work with different artists.  Riff Raff also reassured viewers at home that he indeed has music he’s recorded with Drake but was vague on when any of it would actually surface.

After walking off set a bit prematurely, Riff made his way to L.A. Live’s Conga Room to close out the show with a live performance of “Raiders vs. Hawks” and his new hit “How To Be The Man” which boasts production from DJ Mustard.  Equipped with back flipping hype man and a confident demeanor, the colorful rapper brought his energy to the stage, exchanged daps and pounds with DJ Skee and thanked the crowd as he faded to black after a short return to television.
