BIG SCRO, the white boy who recorded
the first beatbox single to hit number one
on the Hot-Hot 100 pop chart,
was controversial from the moment he
arrived on the music scene. Accused of inventing his image as an urban
hi-low trashoid beatboxer, the "Scroman,"
whose real name is Scotch Wichmann, lowered his pants on
Rick Dees's TV show to display scars
he claims he received in a knife fight. He informed his critics
in his acceptance speech as Favorite New Artist
at the 1991 American Music Rewards
that they could kiss his white posterior.
With his hit single "Row Scro, Baby" that catapulted
sales of his first album, TO THE SCROSTREME,
to five million records in a short three months,
Scro is a hot new performer who seems to defy categorization.
"So who is he?" questioned People Magazine,
"fibber or phenom, white trash
street kid or star?" Scro answered them all in
Newsweek: "I'm 100 percent original."
IT'S SCRO TIME!
