Rap Career

In 2017, Lil Skies released his first mixtape – “Alone” – and would also continue writing music. A few months later, he released “Red Roses” featuring Landon Cube, which would hit 69th spot on the Billboard Hot 100. The song later became the first single for his debut studio album/mixtape “Life of a Dark Rose”, meantime writing and releasing other songs such as “Signs of Jealousy”. His various singles would catch the attention of Atlantic Records, who partnered with Lil Skies own label, All We Got.


This led to the release of “Life of a Dark Rouse” the following year, which debuted on the Billboard 200 chart in 23rd spot, before it climbed to reach a peak in 10th spot. He also released the song “Nowadays” which debuted in 85th spot on the Billboard Hot 100, before peaking in 55th position. Due to his popularity, he started to tour nationally with other artists such as Lil Uzi Vert, then embarked on his own “Life of a Dark Rose” tour, but which was cut short due to illness. He’s since released a new single entitled “I Know You”, featuring Yung Pinch, and featured in the song “Off the Gas” by 6 Dogs.
