Fans are confused with this one.

Pennsylvania rapper and crooner Lil Skies was one of the hottest rappers from about 2017 to 2019. His sound was very melodic with elements of trap, emo, pop rap. Unfortunately, many feel he has steadily fallen off since that point. While he still releases a steady flow of singles, it will be almost three years since his last album.

For some rappers, they may be able to bounce back from a long LP break. But, usually, those artists have more of a distinctive sound. Skies can rap for sure. However, his approach is quite run-of-the-mill, as there are many clones like him.

Listen To "Pivot" By Lil Skies

That is partially the reason why his latest single "Pivot" is not doing too well with listeners. Skies shared the song on his Instagram page to little in the way of compliments. Many people are saying he should go back to his original sound. One goes, "Skies really took 2 years off to release this dog s*** go back to your old sound tf." Another goes, "Skies no we need that 2017 skies wtf is this it don’t even sound like you!" While it is good for artists to constantly evolve, this change has fans scratching their heads due to him riding the new waves of the music soundscape.

Quotable Lyrics:

I stay on my pivot, ain't takin’ no brakes (No brakes)
Tell 'em f*** n****s, "Get out of my face" (My face)
I got a Glock and it's right by my waist (Huh-huh)
If you try me I’ll get you out the way (Do-do)
She wanna know what I'm doin', I'm catchin' theses plays (Uh-huh)
I'm really tryna fill up my safe (Uh-huh)
