One of the things that has come out of 2013 so far is what I like to think of as the Skee-Lo Renaissance.
Skee-Lo, who hails from Moreno Valley, has seen his 1995 rap hit “I Wish” get new life with a number of Toyota commercials featuring Kaley Cuoco “The Big Bang Theory” as a genie, which debuted during the Super Bowl and have been on TV regularly since. (My wish was for my beloved Baltimore Ravens to win the Super Bowl. Skee-Lo, if you had anything to do with that, thank you.)
Even though he was nominated for a Grammy, Skee-Lo disappeared out of the music scene for years. In late 2012, he released his new album, “Fresh Ideas,” digitally. The album will now be released in brick-and-mortar stores on Tuesday, July 9.
You can hear songs from the album at www.wegotfreshideas.com. Skee-Lo is active on Twitter, too.
