Turning Loss into Love: The Chronicles of SK

Each morning, humans wake up with two things: a choice and a chance. Thoughts govern the choices being made and every person has a chance to change. Change is an action, and all actions have consequences that elevate or hinder. Way2Real Entertainment signee SK Glizzii made some choices that almost cost him his life. More than just a rapper, SK is an artist with his eyes set on longevity. The Fayetteville native recently released his single I Need Somebody under the Way2Real imprint. The single delves into the mind of a man on the road to redemption dealing with past troubles. His family’s musical background helps him turn his pain into passion, then turn that passion into purpose. Nowadays, SK seeks out healthier coping mechanisms. However, on his single, he speaks candidly about his past substance abuse issues. The substances filled a void left by a lack of love. I Need Somebody is about more than a romantic relationship. The song is a call for help from an incarcerated man experiencing loss at a rapid rate. SK was charged with First Degree Murder and facing the death penalty. The last person executed in North Carolina was Samuel Flippen on August 18, 2006. SK blamed his loyalty for putting him in a bad situation that cost him his freedom, and nearly his life. However, he understood the power of God and held himself accountable. He sat in jail for two years fighting his case with a court-appointed lawyer. During his stint in jail, life kept moving. Being locked away gave SK time to reflect. In addition, he became the father of a beautiful baby girl while fighting his case. However, he lost his mother just as he was about to be released.
