Babel Fishh


Scott Huber, better known by his stage name Babelfishh, is an American alternative hip hop artist currently based in Houston,Texas.

History

After gaining some recognition in local rap circles in Houston,Texas, and opening for notable acts like Ceschi and Zechs Marquise, Babelfishh self-released his debut album, The Use Of Of, in 2005. He followed this by releasing a split LP with Minnesota rapper Astronautalis in 2006. These releases were followed by 3 self-financed European tours with Oskar Ohlson in 2008,2009, 2011, and 2012.

Style

Babelfishh has been described as "less of an alley-hardened battle rapper and more of a geeky, deep-thinking street poet, with a touch of both sci-fi freak Mike Ladd and ex-Soul Coughing frontman/poet M. Doughty to the whole mess". His 2012 release, Howl Bender, was called "a masterpiece in terms of transfiguring pure emotion into a tangible, audible entity."

Name

His stage name is in reference to the Bable Fish from Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series.
