Cole Bennett continues to make good on his promise to drop a video for every song on the Lyrical Lemonade compilation album, All Is Yellow. Today (February 22), the prolific video director has shared the video for the album’s opening track, “Fly Away,” which features Sheck Wes, Ski Mask The Slump God, and JID.
In the song’s accompanying video, Ski Mask emerges from Lyrical Lemonade’s signature yellow curtain, sitting upon a yellow throne as he delivers his scorching verse.
The video then cuts to JID, who shines bright in a dark room, putting his lyrical ability and his star power on full display. The rappers are all seen in black suits and yellow ties throughout the visual.
In an interview with Paste, Bennett shared that for the All Is Yellow album, he wanted to tie the videos together using the yellow curtains and accessories.
“It’s gotten to the point where the audience’s eye has now been trained to see a black suit and a yellow tie, without any context beyond that, and know exactly what it means,” said Bennett. “And that’s super exciting to me, to be able to drive home a theme that far.”

Kuttem Reese has nabbed some high-profile features over the course of his career. For example, his debut project Kutt Dat Boy, released in 2021, saw Lil Durk, Chief Keef, and Fredo Bang make guest appearances. However, Reese has remained fairly quiet over the past two years, releasing only five singles up until a couple of days ago. This new cut with Ski Mask The Slump God brings a massive wave of energy, but also some nice flows and bars.
“Black Forces,” the name of this new song, is all about violence and getting revenge on people that did him wrong in the past. It is also quite humorous that he used “Black Forces” for this record because the running jokes on social media would tell you that people are up to no good when they wear the black Nike Air Force 1’s. Certainly, Reese and Ski Mask are in the streets doing what they should not be, but it makes for a fun listen nonetheless.
Some people might not know who Reese is because his career started not too long ago. He was born in Orlando, Florida, and began making music when everyone was stuck inside during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. What really got him on the map was when his song “Madden” was played at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Superbowl pre-game. Now, he looks to be on the fast track to making a career and it looks like he could become another star from Florida.

Quotable Lyrics:
P***y idiot, look what you done did, you done started war Gotta hide my heart from my thoughts ’cause now my mind at war I can make them choppas shoot at once like they all in chorus (Brrt, brrt) Black Forces, tying them b*****s tight when I’m applying force
Ever since the pandemic, it seems concert etiquette has gone out the window. Fans are chucking things at performers on stage left and right, prompting artists like Adele, Billie Eilish, and Drake to speak out against fans getting out of control at concerts. However, at the Openair Frauenfeld festival in Switzerland on Saturday, things went the other direction, as a wannabe stage diver found out the hard way why venues discourage the practice. Getting a running start, the fan leaped into the unwilling crowd, which parted at once, allowing the fan to crash headlong into the ground.

While from the video, the disheveled daredevil looks to be mostly okay — if a little shaken up — they’ve undoubtedly learned an unpleasant lesson just like performers like Post Malone and Westside Boogie. And while Taylor Swift has incorporated a “stage dive” into her Eras Tour staging, she’s a professional and is likely landing on something designed by other professionals to cushion her fall and prevent injury (side note: there’s an episode of Poker Face that uses this as a major plot element, and I, for one, will never be doing such a thing as a result of watching it, safety equipment or no).
Ski Mask the Slump God blew the roof off the SeatGeek Stadium in Bridgeview, IL, last Saturday. The 27-year-old rapper kicked off the second day of the rap festival with something special. During his performance, he brought on Nardwuar the Human Serviette, absolutely hyping up the crowd. Born John Ruskin, Nardwuar is a Canadian celebrity journalist and musician who is the lead singer and keyboardist for the Evaporators. His absurd, eccentric, yet well-researched interviews of rap and hip-hop stars are infamous.
While it appears Ski Mask did this for the memes, it’s still a great tribute to someone who can get rappers so riled up. Pharrell and Drake are on record saying their interviews with Nardwuar are the best they’ve ever had. However, other performers like Dave Rountree of Blur, Alice Cooper, Travis Barker, Beck, and Nas have either hung up on him or verbally or physically attacked Nardwuar. A polarizing figure in the rap game for sure, the journalist must’ve felt pretty good gracing the stage at one of rap’s most influential concerts of the year.
The Summer Smash 2023 featured an impressive lineup all weekend long, including Vince Staples, Ice Spice, Glorilla, Juicy J, Trippie Redd, and Rico Nasty. Headliners were Kid Cudi on Friday, Future on Saturday, and Playboi Carti on Sunday. Plus, special guest stars were $uicideboy$, Lil Uzi Vert, and Lil Durk. To put it bluntly, this was a massive show that didn’t disappoint. And when Ski Mask the Slump God pulled his Nardwuar stunt, the audience ate it up.
Nardwuar also angers Canadian politicians on the regular and is on the record stating he will interview any celebrity. Funny enough, musicians have immortalized his zany demeanor in tribute lyrics. At the 2013 SXSW Festival, Pharrell turned the tables on him and interviewed him the same way he’d interview others. Lil Uzi Vert sampled some of his 2018 Nardwuar interview for the song “Futsal Suffle 2020.” Most recently, Maclemore’s 2022 song “Maniac” features a cameo from the Canadian journalist, complete with references. For Ski Mask, his embracement of Nardwuar’s kooky aura should only help his own rising fame.
“Water” is an adlib that many music fans love to say out loud. The artist who most famously coined the adlib is none other than Ski Mask The Slump God. Stokeley Clevon Goulbourne was born in Fort Lauderdale, FL, and started rapping at a young age.
His initial rose to fame came along with his best friend XXXTentacion (Jahseh Onfroy) when they met in jail. They both decided that music and rap was what they loved and was talented at. After they were both released, they went on to form the collective group Member Only in 2014.
Ski is underrated by many, but he is a prominent name in SoundCloud as he was a part of the SoundCloud era. Ski is mainly known for his rhythm, versatility, and ability to rap at extreme tempos. He is also known for his cartoon-inspired instrumentals and his ability to carry any feature he’s on.
A controversial opinion, but Ski Mask The Slump God is also granted the title of the King of Rolling Loud. Whenever he performs, he knows how to bring energy not only from his performance but with the crowd as well. Also a loyal best friend, Ski always makes sure to give a shout-out to his late best friends, Juice Wrld and XXXTentacion.
Ski has multiple mixtapes, albums, singles, and eps to his name. We go on to look at some of his most streamed songs, according to Spotify.

On Spotify, this song has reached 234,097,146 streams and comes in as his fifth most streamed song. The popularity of this song grew over time because of the song title itself and people wanting this song to reach the radio for the same reason above.
An 808 heavy-based beat mixed with outrageous lyrics and rhyming every last word in the verse helps with his flow. As well as, starting with a nice on-and-off rhyming pattern turned into a fast-flowing song makes this song unique.
#4-“Catch Me Outside“
On the number four spot, we have the song “Catch Me Outside.” Arguably one the most recognizable song off Ski’s discography and a song many fans came onto first. This song has gained 247,641,895 streams since its release.

The song title was inspired by Danielle Bregoli’s famous Dr. Phil quote, “Catch me outside, howbow dah.” The beat was produced by Timbaland, which was the beat used in Missy Elliott’s “She’s a Bitch” song. Elliott even went to Twitter to praise the song since it featured her famous beat.
#3- “Take A Step Back“
If you want to talk about a bass-heavy beat, look no further than our third entry, “Take A Step Back.” Released on May 15, 2016, this song was a staple of Ski’s career. Clocking in at 3:30, this is the longest song on the list.
This song has gained a massive 353,158,409 streams on Spotify for good reasons, too. “Take A Step Back,”is a mosh pit anthem, and if you see this song live, good luck.
The song featured Ski’s late best friend XXXTentacion and was the pinnacle song of both of their early careers. This song was one of the most popular collaborations between the two best friends.
#2-“Nuketown“
At number two, we have “Nuketown,” which features his late best friend, Juice Wrld. The song was released on November 30, 2018, on the “Stokeley” album as well.
Initially, the song featured two Ski verses but was later changed to add a verse from Juice. “Nuketown,” gained popularity due to the aggressive beat and lyrics used. The song also features a screaming Ski in the chorus and a Juice delivery we never will forget.
It has a staggering 377,646,039 streams on Spotify and clocks in at 2:46 . It also peaked on Billboard’s Hot 100 list at number 63 for six weeks.
#1-“Faucet Failure“
Finally, Ski Mask The Slump God’s number one most streamed song is “Faucet Failure.” Releasing on November 30, 2018, on the “Stokeley” album, just like the others, it gained significant popularity.
With his most streams racking in at a significant 492,802,526, this song deserves it all. The way Ski rides the beat with his flow and his delivery on the song makes you bob your head to everything he says.
The runtime on this song is 2:25, which is quick but gets straight to the point. The song has also been on the Billboard Top 100, sitting at number 87 for 11 weeks.
Even though it has been some time since Ski dropped music, he still continues to pop up on features and preview snippets. His popularity continues to grow daily, and he always has a supporting fandom behind him.
We can’t wait to see what Ski has in store for us in the future.
Before you turn your attention to the Super Bowl (and Rihanna’s Halftime show) this evening, we have a hot new single for all hip-hop heads to check out. On Friday (February 10), DJ Scheme and Danny Towers came together to finally drop “Florida Water,” which sees them link up with Ski Mask The Slump God. Additionally, the pair is joined by Luh Tyler to complete the joint effort.
For the producer’s part, he put together a low-note piano bassline for the three lyricists to coast over. Throughout his lyrics, Towers markedly taunts haters, reminding them that he’s not afraid to throw them in the shark-infested ocean that separates his home state and Cuba. Following him is the “Back Flippin” artist, whose bars are all about securing the bag.

Finally, Ski Mask closes things out on “Florida Waters.” As per usual, his emphatic ad-libs and signature animated flow steal the show, leaving listeners desperate for more from every artist involved. While we don’t have release dates for any other upcoming single, we do know the accompanying music video is due out sometime this week.
As noted in a press release, this song, in particular, marks a big moment for DJ Scheme. He previously made waves at the end of 2020 with his debut album, FAMILY. That 17-track effort saw him collaborating with names like Jackboy, Lil Yachty, Ty Dolla $ign, and the late Lil Keed.
