The Sacramento Hip Hop scene has long been a breeding ground for lyrical architects but few have navigated the transition from local pillars to national contenders as effectively as Henny Holyfield and his group, Skylit Music group. Comprising Holyfield, the high-octane veteran Skurge (previously in Sacramento’s Hip Hop supergroup, Righteous Movement) and the introspective soul Kinda Odd, SkyLit is more than a group—it is a collective dedicated to professional, high-caliber independent art.
As a solo artist, Holyfield’s momentum has been undeniable following his 2024 appearance on a 35-city national tour with Strange Music’s Krizz Kaliko. This exposure has amplified the reach of many of his previous chart-topping successes, including the single “WIN (Feat. Mr. F.A.B.)” (2020), which climbed to #1 on iTunes and cracked the Billboard charts at #23. This track, originally found on his acclaimed album Clocked In (2020), set the stage for his most recent sonic explorations, such as the soulful “SEASONS CHANGE” (2025) featuring Art Saenz, Big Skoon and Shon Denay’s melodic hooks.
Further solidifying his footprint in the independent market, Holyfield’s latest venture, LEADERS OF THE TRU SKOOL, exemplifies a strategic masterclass in collaborative branding. Produced by Big Skoon and featuring the surgical pen game of Art Saenz alongside Henny, the 8-track project is a cornerstone of the “Tru Head Music” and SKYLIT Music movement. By leveraging the combined digital reach and veteran credibility of all three artists, the album has successfully pierced through the noise of the modern streaming landscape with anthems like “L.O.T.T.S.” and “FLY AS ME.” This release serves as a professional benchmark for how independent collectives can scale their influence through high-caliber production and a unified, “Tru Skool” marketing strategy.
While Holyfield manages his monthly flight schedule between Las Vegas and Sacramento to hostTop $helf Radio, the group continues to push boundaries with darker, theatrical collaborations like“I Was GoD” on Alize Ali’s album, “ALUKA.” From his group Skylit’s landmarkWest Coast Love Tour in 2023 to newer solo projects such as LEADERS OF THE TRU SKOOL,Henny Holyfieldis proving that the heart of Hip Hop is beating stronger than ever, fueled by authenticity and a refusal to settle for anything less than the Top $helf Only standard.
