Lil Skies is fresh off the release of his new project, Shelby which arrived at the top of the month. The rapper's had quite the run between the time he released 2018's Life Of A Dark Rose and his latest project. The rapper became one of the hottest emerging acts which led him to headline his own tour, open for Wiz Khalifa and Rae Sremmurd on the "Dazed & Blazed" tour, as well as a slot on XXL's Freshmen Cover which he ultimately declined. After Shelby debuted in the top 10 of the Billboard 200, the rapper released his music video for "Stop The Madness" featuring Gunna.
Lil Skies and Gunna team up for the "Stop The Madness" video. The video was directed by Sara Lacombe who has worked with some of hip-hop's elite in the past including Migos, Meek Mill and more. In the "Stop The Madness" video, Skies rocks a stray jacket while isolated in an all-white room before Gunna joins him to perform his verse.
Lil Skies is set to embark on an upcoming joint tour with Lil Pump next month. The two rappers announced their co-headlining tour in late February, following the release of Pump's Harverd Dropout. Peep the dates here and check out Lil Skies new video above.
