DETROIT RAPPER SKILLA BABY REVEALS NEW PROJECT THE COLDEST OUT NOW + DROPS LEAD SINGLE “FREE BIG MEECH”
Paving a lane to the forefront of the game at high-speed, rising Detroit rapper Skilla Baby announces his new project The Coldest out now via Geffen Records. Ahead of The Coldest he drops a hard-hitting and hypnotic new single “Free Big Meech” out now. Gearing up for a busy year, he also joins forces with New Orleans heavy-hitter Rob49 to co-headline the “Vultures Eat The Most” Tour this summer. Tickets are available HERE.
“I took my time to put this project together… Sometimes, I feel like people try to place me in a box. The pressure of being a new artist, being successful, staying disciplined, and still clocking into the studio is very strenuous. But fun at the same time,” said Skilla Baby on The Coldest, “As an artist, I’m known as the “Girl’s guy”. But I’ll never forget I come from the streets. As a real person, I feel so many emotions (mad, sad, happy, anxious, etc.). I say that to say, sorry for the wait but I wanted to put everything I feel into one project. Grab your coats…”
Produced by MIA JayC and Lee Choppn, “Free Big Meech” hinges on tense synths and punchy 808s, while Skilla Baby unleashes a vital verbal flurry. He brushes off opps, “I’m too fucking rich to fight,” and he flexes on the chantable chorus, “The bag I’m in, I make fifty thousand every month.” In the accompanying visual, he exudes energy that’s as uncontainable as his talent.
Next up, the “Vultures Eat The Most” Tour takes him across the country on his most extensive jaunt yet. It kicks off on May 30 at Level 13 in Orlando, FL and rolls through major markets such as Chicago, IL, New York, NY, and Boston, MA before ending at House of Blues in Dallas, TX on July 2.
Among many accolades, BET just named him as April’s “BET Amplified Artist.” Thus far, Skilla Baby has amassed nearly 300 million streams and north of 111 million views. He has notched major co-signs from the likes of Jack Harlow, City Girls, Rylo Rodriguez, Rob49, Tee Grizzley, Luh Tyler, YTB Fatt, and many others. Most recently he collaborated with Yung Miami on “CFWM.” All of this activity follows Skilla Baby going on tour with Offset and making surprise performance appearances at Rolling Loud on both Summer Walker and Rob49’s sets.
