"You always have your head in the clouds" is a phrase heard all too often by Speedy Calhoun. Rapping since he 2004, this Southside Chicago native takes the phrase 'getting high' to the next level. As a seasoned battle rapper & artist, Speedy has managed to carve his own path in time. At a pivotal moment in music where many Chicago artists choose to show outsiders the violent war zone that the city currently is, Speedy shows his fans what his city could be. Indulging in a genre of music (so appropriately) titled 'Lit-Hop', Speedy naturally challenges themes as he explores them. Being part of the SKIGH movement is more than getting physically high or intellectually high. It’s about not compromising your individuality just for the sake of having the security of your feet planted firmly on the ground. It’s about believing in something bigger than you & true to you no matter how taboo. It is a state of elevated existence for those who know it's okay to live in the clouds. Speedy has been featured on WorldStarHipHop twice for his GrindTimeNow battles and has shared stages with Kool Keith, GLC, Rockie Fresh, Curren$y, Jon Connor, & Wiz Khalifa. His most recent project "High Hopes" was originally released on 3-1-2017.
