Up and coming Waynesboro MC Lil Skies just dropped a new track "Lust" that is now available at all DSPs, and will be featured on his highly anticipated mixtape just announced today: Life Of A Dark Rose. The mixtape, which will be released on Skies' label All We Got Ent / Atlantic Records, also features Skies' massive single "Red Roses." The video for "Red Roses," shot and directed by new-rap impresario Cole Bennett of Lyrical Lemonade, garnered over 2 million views in the first 10 days of its release, and is now at over 12 million views and climbing. Life Of A Dark Rose is slated for release January 10, 2018 and now available for pre-order here.
After major cosigns from Cole Bennett and popular YouTube channel CUFBOYS, Skies received his biggest cosign yet when fellow Pennsylvania native Lil Uzi Vert invited him to join his "A VERY UZI CHRISTMAS" tour, which will kick off this Friday, December 15th in Washington, DC. The dates will continue with two-night stands at New York City's Terminal 5 (December 17th and 18th) and Boston's House of Blues (December 20th and 21st) as well as a December 22nd date in Philadelphia.
The 19-year-old rapper who has been blowing up on both SoundCloud and YouTube, was recently profiled by GENIUS and dubbed "one of SoundCloud's most promising young acts." With "Red Roses" streaming millions everyday around the globe, Skies is also popping up on viral Spotify charts worldwide including US, Canada, Australia, Germany, Poland and more.
