New Skool Spirit is a Maryland-Based Christian Hip Hop duo that was formed in 2007 by best friends turned ministry leaders Lorenzo Nichols Jr (aka Stitch Early) and Mark Billups Jr. (aka Shamgar Phoenix).
The mission of New Skool Spirit is to win souls through the form of Hip Hop. God has immensely gifted both Stitch and Shamgar with spiritual guidance, amazing lyrical prowess and song writing ability. “Through the merging of the word of God and hip hop as well as rock, alternative, and many other genres of music will we be able reach both the lost and found” says Stitch Early. “Spiritual, fun, colorful, diverse, controversial, and ambassadors of world music” describes Shamgar Phoenix. These are the factors that set them apart and keep this duo outside of the box.
