Today, Skizzy Mars releases his next single, "American Dream," which is the follow up of the recently released, "2006." "American Dream" premiered yesterday viaComplex, declaring "Skizzy Mars is back." This next single now marks Skizzy's second solo release since his project, "Alone Together" in 2016. Since then, Skizzy Mars was featured on VICE's "Steady 1234" alongside fellow Atlantic recording artist, Jasmine Thompson, which now boasts over 100 million streams to date.
On Monday, it was announced that Skizzy Mars will embark on his "Are You Ok?" North American tour, with dates running through Spring 2018 - tickets on sale now.
Skizzy Mars earned instant buzz with his first single, 2011's "Douchebag," and has since made his bones as one of contemporary rap's most eclectic new stars. The Harlem-based MC - known to his family as Myles Mills - followed "Douchebag" with the powerful "Profound" as well as a pair of much-talked-about mixtapes and increasingly popular live appearances as both headliner and support to such stars as G-Eazy, Logic, and fellow Atlantic artists B.o.B and Ty Dolla $ign.
Highlighted by chart-topping tracks like "Time (Ft. G-Eazy & Olivver the Kid)," "The Red Balloon Project" EP dropped in February 2015 and proved a straight-up sensation, debuting at #4 on Billboard's "Top Rap Albums" chart before peaking at #35 on the overall SoundScan/Billboard 200. A 33-city headline tour followed, highlighted by sold out shows in Los Angeles, Dallas, and Skizzy's own NYC.
Skizzy has also received a remarkable range of press coverage, with features in such outlets as The Fader, NYLON, HipHopDX, Earmilk, Pigeons & Planes, andHotNewHipHip, as well as an appearance on the premiere installment of XXL's "Ante Up" podcast.
