It was really cool to listen to a down to earth dude. He's not pretending to be all " hood" and "gangsta". He's not telling embellished stories of how he sold drugs and dumb shit like that. I wish him the best.

Man when he talked about doing his homework and making his people proud that hit me!!!
Regardless of the Face Tats.. Skies is the type of an artist who can actually be a role model... Got great grades... Strives to be a great father.. loves his family.. stays away from the clout from beef, drugs and murder.. Also not how important it was having both parents in his life! God Bless you Skies!

Lil Skies really not a mumble rapper. He’s been putting in work for years. And been keeping it 100 on his songs. You can’t even say he’s made one bad song even if you don’t bump his music.
