'''Skatterman & Snug Brim''' is an American hip-hop duo from Kansas City, Missouri.

After releasing projects separately, '''Skatterman''' (born Stacy Dewayne Landis<ref name="ASCAPName">{{cite web|url=http://www.ascap.com/ace/search.cfm?requesttimeout=300&mode=results&searchstr=393209017&search_in=i&search_type=exact&search_det=t,s,w,p,b,v&results_pp=30&start=1 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110523045758/http://www.ascap.com/ace/search.cfm?requesttimeout=300&mode=results&searchstr=393209017&search_in=i&search_type=exact&search_det=t,s,w,p,b,v&results_pp=30&start=1 |url-status=dead |archive-date=2011-05-23 |title=Skatterman & Snug Brim - I'm That Figga on ASCAP |access-date=2008-07-08 |publisher=ASCAP }}</ref>) and '''Snug Brim''' (born Aaron R. Henderson<ref name="ASCAPName" />) combined as a group. The duo released their first album, ''Worth A Million'', in 2002 through Below Radar Records. On the cover they were listed as "Skatterman & Snug Brim," but the inside of the case displayed "Skatterman & Snug Brim AKA Yung Gunz." The "Yung Gunz" name was later dropped due to a conflict with another group of the same name, but different spelling, (Young Gunz).

After the release of their first album, the duo signed with the Kansas City-based label, Strange Music. They recorded the album, ''Urban Legendz'' which was released in 2004. The single from the album, "Block Party," charted #24 on ''Billboard'''s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles Sales in October of the same year.<ref>[http://www.billboard.com/charts/2004-10-02/r-b-hip-hop-songs Billboard.com - Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles Sales - Block Party (Oct. 02, 2004)]</ref>

''Word on tha Streets'' was released August 12, 2008. The follow-up to their ''Urban Legendz'' album featured the songs: "I'm That Nigga", "Sukka Dukkas" and "Heartbreaker." Featured artists included Tech N9ne, Young Buck, Paul Wall and Rich The Factor.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://store.strangemusicinc.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=SMTNS&Product_Code=STREETS08&Category_Code=CDS |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080728120540/http://store.strangemusicinc.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=SMTNS&Product_Code=STREETS08&Category_Code=CDS |url-status=dead |archive-date=2008-07-28 |title=Strange Music Online Store - Skatterman & Snug Brim "Word On Tha Streets" |access-date=2008-06-05 |publisher= |date= }}</ref>

Skatterman also moved forward with work on a solo mixtape titled ''The Cookbook,'' released on November 2, 2009. The mixtape will be followed by his studio album, ''Self Made'' scheduled for release on March 16, 2010.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.myspace.com/skattermankc |title=Biography on Skatterman's Myspace |accessdate=2009-09-19 }}</ref>
