(LOS ANGELES, CA) Los Angeles based management and production company, Handprint Entertainment has entered into negotiations with YG Entertainment/Digital Riddims Inc. for American distribution and touring rights for South Korean reggae sensation Skull.

The 27 year old Reggae star has courted worldwide urban and Caribbean audiences with his distinctive interpretation of Jamaican patois, and taken the US market by storm. His first single, "Boom di Boom di"

reached #4 on Billboard's Hip-Hop/R&B Sales Chart, and currently is the Greatest Gainer on the Billboard Singles Sales Chart after rocketing from #54 to #14 on the Top 100. His video is in heavy rotation on MTV Tempo, Hype, RTEV and CVM in Jamaica and is gaining traction in the US as well.
