Rap artist Skofka

Skofka: the artist's path to a stellar career
Skofka is an unsurpassed musician and rap artist from Ukraine, whose explosive career began in 2021. He conquered YouTube and became a leader among Ukrainian rappers. Listeners often compare him to Miyagi. Indeed, it is possible to notice common features. However, only by including a few tracks, it becomes obvious: the work of this musician is incomparably original, and any parallels seem empty and even unworthy.

Childhood of the artist
Vladimir Samolyuk's birthplace (real name) is Rivne, although many mistakenly believe that he was born in Zdolbunov. In fact, almost nothing is known about his childhood and youth. The artist explains his secrecy by the fact that he is still at the initial stage of his creative career and is not ready to share personal information with journalists. Another reason for his isolation is his busy schedule – he spends a lot of time on his work, so he is not ready for such conversations yet.

The artist's parents are not connected with the world of creativity and keep their lives a secret. Vladimir's father worked as a policeman. He did not support his son in his creative aspirations and wanted him to master a more serious profession. However, the singer Skofka did not give up and insisted on his choice.

He moved to the capital of Ukraine, where he was engaged in various small part-time jobs before starting his creative career. Currently, he devotes himself entirely to music. Although Vladimir does not earn a lot of money, it is not important for him, since he enjoys what he does. The artist's songs became hits, and even managed to appear covers on many social networks for his viral tracks.

Rapper's creative career
The performer decided to challenge and prove that rap in the Ukrainian language can sound beautiful and worthy. The musician's confidence in success is based on high-quality music, which, in his opinion, is a key factor. Having started his career, he attracted the attention of fans of Ukrainian rap through the Kalush collective.

Among those who expressed support for him were well-known and respected personalities in the world of rap culture, such as Alyona Alyona and VovaZiLvova, whose popularity extends far beyond the borders of Ukraine.

He presented his tracks, including BALALAYKA, "And I Would ...", "Scarf and Hat", and "Get over the Fence", which immediately made an indelible impression on music lovers. Skofka also released his first albums, which won the hearts of listeners.

The artist's career began in 2021, when the ENKO label held a seminar in Kiev for aspiring artists, where Skofka's first concert took place, where he presented his songs.

Also in 2021, a music video for one of his tracks was released. A pretty stylish video was shot in a cool location and focused on a potential hit. The sound of the track itself deserves recognition from fans of "street music".

Skofka's creativity now
In May 2021, fans were pleasantly surprised by the unusual collaboration between Skofka and KALUSH. Their lyrical piece of music called "Dodoma" penetrated into the very heart of music lovers.

In this composition, the rappers talked about their childhood, cozy evenings with their family, about their home, where the smell of cherry pies reigns, and about longing for grandparents. The motif, reminiscent of the band "Gaza Strip", adds a special sentimentality and cool charm to this song.

However, fans became interested in the musician's signature under the Enko label, which was founded by rapper Aliona Aliona and her manager Ivan Klimenko.

The artist replied that at the moment he is not a signatory to the label. However, Enko experiments and practices collaboration with different artists, analyzing the results.

In 2023, when the war began, Skofka continued to write and perform songs about the events taking place in Ukraine. He recently released the track "Chuti gimn" and told the story of the creation of the work. The text is written about his childhood friend, whose life was taken away by the war. A young guy died defending Ukraine. The singer also presented many other songs on the military theme, which became successful and gained millions of auditions and views from fans.
