Lil Skies burst onto our radar earlier this year, and has since exploded into one of the biggest and most promising artists on the rise. We teamed up with him to premiere the visual for his uptempo banger “Rude,” which surpassed a million views in just a few short months. Since then, Skies has soared to new heights with his viral, Cole Bennett-directed music videos for “Red Roses” and “Nowadays,” which both feature another favorite of ours in Landon Cube.

Skies has an interesting story and tells it wonderfully, and we recently caught up with his for an exclusive interview which you can watch below. Pre-order his impending album Life of a Dark Rose HERE.
