Scott Huber (born June 5, 1981), better known by his stage name Babel Fishh, is an American alternative hip hop artist currently based in Houston,Texas.
After gaining some recognition in local rap circles in Houston,Texas, and opening for notable acts like Ceschi and Zechs Marquise, Babel Fishh 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 (to support Howl Bender).
Babel Fishh 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."
