Skanks the Rap Martyr is an emcee out of Crown Heights, Brooklyn. He is the co-founding member of the supergroup Bankai Fam and CEO of Anarchy Records. With over 26 releases on Bandcamp, a long-running creative bond with Ruste Juxx, and a nickname "The Flowfessional" that describes both his work ethic and his lyrical approach, Skanks has been a consistent underground presence across decades of New York rap. "53" is a Knicks championship anthem built around a specific number: the 53-year drought the New York Knicks finally ended in 2026. BK Dudda produces, PF Cuttin mixes and masters PF Cuttin also handled mastering duties on the Ruste Juxx and Skanks *Live From Crow Hill* project, making this another chapter in a long-standing creative partnership. Ruste Juxx directs the visual. Shot in front of Spike Lee's Joint restaurant, the location is deliberate. Spike Lee is the Knicks' most visible superfan, front-row fixture, and more than any celebrity presence could manufacture an actual New Yorker who waited 53 years just like everybody else. Skanks picks the right corner to plant a city anthem: not an empty arena, but a real Brooklyn sidewalk.
