Gotta listen baked, that’s probably one of his best songs . More emotion and aggression than the OG Nowadays (classic btw)

It has nothing to do with state of mind. see the whole beauty of the first part was that it was NOT aggressive. it hit nostalgia looking in the rear view mirror vibes 2 the tee. thats why it worked.

Lil Skies isn’t obsecure breh, nikka still gets 5 mil Spotify monthly listens
I was kinda joking but to seriously answer he changed his style for the worst. I say this thread is a zoomer version because tha alkaholics probably were big at that time we don’t know but old nikkas ask this question or some no limit artist it’s all the same when time passes on not everybody has the it factor or music has staying power.

I don’t think those good comparisons, Skies from the SoundCloud generation was probably the 5th most popular.

It was Juice/X/Trippie/6ix9ine/Pump then Skies I would say. His buzz was bigger than Nahmir, Dex, Rich the Kid, Xan, Lil Mosey or Ski Mask. He also passed Yatchy at a lil time period for sure. He did it all without the fukkery too

This isn’t the crowd for Skies but I want to say he’s a victim of a lot of the SoundCloud guys not being promoted anymore, Trippie kind of was the only one to avoid this

as what the Zoomers call an old nicca, i really fukked with Life of a Dark Rose because the og nowadays was better than pt. 2. I thought he had next, but he was battling depression heavy IIRC.
