# Babel Fishh

Scott Huber (born June 5, 1981), better known by his stage name Babel Fishh (also stylized as 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 Zechs Marquise, Babelfishh self-released his debut album, The Use Of Of, in 2005. These releases were followed by 3 self-financed European tours with Oskar Ohlson in 2008,2009, 2011, and 2012 (to support Howl Bender).

## 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 (a form of biological universal translator) from Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
