I Wish by Skee-Lo
I Wish is an album by Skee-Lo, released in 1995. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 1 countdown appearance in total. The biggest is “I Wish”, on 1 list with a best position of #816.
I Wish, Skee-Lo's debut album, arrived on June 27, 1995, via Sunshine/Scotti Bros. Records, riding the wave of the title single that had already made the rapper a surprise star after its independent release three months earlier. He recorded it at Sunshine Studios in Hollywood and produced it with Walter "Kandor" Kahn, with Todd Tracy engineering and Funky & Trend dropping by as guests.
In a year when gangsta rap ruled, Skee-Lo went the other way, keeping his rhymes clean over bouncy, sunlit grooves. It worked. The album went gold that November and landed a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album, while the single earned its own nomination. "Top of the Stairs" followed and made the Money Train soundtrack, and "Superman" came next in early 1996.
