Career

Lil Skies began writing and recording music early, influenced by his father’s hip-hop background. He posted songs online and played shows locally before catching attention. In 2016 he opened for Fetty Wap during a university event.

In 2017 he released tracks such as “Red Roses” (featuring Landon Cube) and “Nowadays” which charted on the Billboard Hot 100 and helped him secure a deal with Atlantic Records via his imprint All We Got.

On January 10, 2018 his major-label mixtape Life of a Dark Rose was released and peaked at number 10 on the Billboard 200. In 2019 he dropped his debut studio album Shelby, named after his mother. He followed it in 2021 with his second album Unbothered.

After parting ways with Atlantic in 2023, he released the mixtape Out Ur Body Music in March 2024 and his third studio album The Evolution of The Rose in June 2025. His career has been characterised by melodic hooks, a blend of rap and singing, and growth into greater artistic independence.

Net Worth

Controversy

In May 2024 Lil Skies was arrested in Franklin County, Pennsylvania for an alleged hit-and-run incident in which he reportedly left the scene and failed to exchange insurance information with the other driver. He has since been released from jail, though details of the legal case remain pending.
