Lil Skies Celebrates 2 Billion Streams + Reveals New Album @ Hollywood Hills Listening Party

Lil Skies got off to a hot start with his 2017 debut album Life Of A Dark Rose, which peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard 200 chart. The album spawned a handful of Platinum-selling singles, and since then, the question has been when his next album would drop. He recently twitted the highly anticipated album was on the way.

Well the rapper has made good on his word, as last night, he shared his sophomore album, Shelby, which he named after his mother surprising her last night with the release during an intimate listening party in Hollywood Hills. The rapper also shared a Cole Bennett-directed video for album-opener “I,” a reflective track on which Skies discusses personal struggles with friendship and romance. The record is relatively light on guest appearances, although it does include features from Gucci Mane, Gunna, and Landon Cube.

Skies said of the album, “It’s my first real project. It’s like a new beginning. This is really like me being born again."
