Who Is Lil Skies? | Pigeon & Planes

Lil Skies is already looking like one of the best new artists of 2018. The Waynesboro, PA teenager just dropped his 'Life of a Dark Rose' tape, which rode the strength of "Red Roses" and "Nowadays" into the Billboard Top 10. It's only been a year since his debut project, and Skies has already toured with Lil Uzi Vert and is about to headline his own string of shows.
But Skies is still family first. We linked with the young rapper to discuss his bright future, what it means to be a dark rose, and how he had to step up when his family was in crisis.

[@AxeOakblaze]

What's the outro beat?

[@lucasmoore3313]

did you guys know his song "Strictly Business" he took from this other dude Josh Dareel who is also a teen artist from Waynesboro. They're from the same Area but skies never gave him credit. Search Josh Dareel - Thoughts Freestyle on soundcloud or TH-cam. You will see. Thats the original version. He deserves credit. Def has mass appeal and he is also mixed like skies. It's interesting

[@alwaysstudying5309]

lucas moore wow...he also was in chambesburg ...never came to philly tho....imma look it up

[@JohnnyVirus]

& he took lust from marzzz who lives in Hagerstown it is what it is also Adoringpgreydo is where he got his new sound from our time is coming

[@donniethornberry7325]

[@bbconthebeat]

Lil Skies is a good rapper bro

[@DPF1215]

Dillon Herrero i feel you but he got the name lil skies cause his dad was skies not just to follow the train

[@sssuperhero]

standing out more than you bitch

[@Sponch1]

Lil Sora He may be, but at face value if he is that unoriginal with his name I can only imagine how bland his music would be.

[@Sponch1]

ghausia p I feel like you didn't understand my comment.

[@Joe-bx2md]

My gym teacher knows him.

[@MasterYodaBiotch]

NOO why would u smash a casio sk-1

[@manuelalves2403]

why does he only have half of his moustache ??

[@lsfrosty9168]

He the type of person who would always be your freind

[@JaitoFN]

He got tekashi's hair color 😬😬😬

[@SHAVEMYCOIN]

Ronald McDonald inspired all these rappers. We should give him more credit.

[@Emanuel-gj5cc]

PNEUMA nigga how

[@saivionshaver5043]

How sway

[@42Ballpark]

Why he look like a demon?
Cool guy tho on ballpark

[@LxgOutMane]

42 Ballpark this demon bullshit os getting so fucking old

[@LilAirbender]

Bro fuck off you're also commenting on our dutch hip hop

[@anthonyneedsarari]

42 Ballpark soundcloud.com/elyanblessyotrap/im-back-ft-lil-sad please check out my music I’m very versatile 🔥🔥🔥

[@youngddz]

Cuz he sold his soul to Get that famę bruh

[@42Ballpark]

Pushaz Xxx Think imma do the same

[@DylanCBland]

If he made music the way he TALKS about his music, it’d be 10 times better. He prophesizes like a Kendrick but drops a Nav/Carti album w basic bars and corny high school raps. The guy is great but his music is mediocre, can’t hate tho

[@jonathanburlew9000]

Dylan Bland don’t you ever compare lil skies with cardi that’s disrespecting lil skies

[@alleniverson5941]

Looks like invader zim

[@terraincognita9614]

Lil soundcloud

[@terraincognita9614]

no hate i fuck w skies lol

[@rosebelmonte5897]

If you were to judge a book by its cover you would think he would be trash cause he got lil in his name and face tats but he is on a whole nother level compared yo these garbage rappers

[@putz8643]

[@thewhitegirlslayer1]

CABELO FEIO DO CARAI KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

[@awlgh9045]

Straight outta chemo therapy.

[@zaddy222]

Cole Sprouse is nice, but Skies is nicer

[@dogfeva4319]

This is what you call a WIGGER

[@red_locarno]

Ugh

[@saintlaurentdon2725]

If we keeping it real, he's a really generic rapper that got clout from the ginger and his mom, and makes music for high school thots. but he cool

[@CoolKidReeceZ]

Dennis U if we keepin it real, you on some bullshit. Lets say your right, but he def did not get clout from Cuf if anything its from cole Bennett, but that's what he does.

[@bbconthebeat]

He don't make music for High school thots cuz he don't fw these thots

[@mistrewind8733]

falconloverxxxXx i know what you're saying but he wouldn't have really known cole if it wasn't for cameron but he would've come around anyway, but cameron and his channel definitely gave him a bump no doubt, that is how i found out about him through cameron, when he had around 7k followers or so and now kids from my school listening to him and shit and its crazy (i go to a private catholic school - i am positive 70% of the kids at my school don't even know what soundcloud is) just be happy for his success doesn't matter how he got it, he deserved it either way.

[@alwaysstudying5309]

What about his mom??

[@SHAUNDJFISHBEATSMARTIN]

YOU ARE AYE DOUBLE EDGE SWORD NOW FUCK OFFFF
