July 26, 2024 — (Los Angeles, CA) —Today, rising Detroit rapper Skilla Baby expands his breakout mixtape The Coldest with a brand-new Deluxe Edition out now via Geffen Records. Listen HERE.

BossMan Dlow).” Watch HERE.
Among the expanded material, “Booby Trap On The River” opens up the Deluxe Edition. The song’s ominous piano loop practically chokes a tense beat, and he locks into a braggadocios back-and-forth with BossMan Dlow. On the hook, Skilla Baby proclaims, “In that Maybach, I be feeling like Rick Ross, baby.” The music video projects this energy on-screen including interactions with fans and scenes from a performance. Skilla Baby and BossMan Dlow command attention in every frame. Notably The Coldest just crossed over 100 million streams to date.
The glitchy bounce of “Body Bangin” brushes up against his lusty flow, “You look heaven-sent, baby Amen.” A trap stomp sets the pace for “RYN” where he turns up with DaBaby and Baby Money. Then, there’s “Soulja Slimm.” On the latter, he flexes alongside Rob49, comparing their chemistry to that of Juvenile and Soulja Slim and boasting, “They know me by first name at Saks 5th and Neiman Marcus.”
The deluxe follows the music video for “Project X (G6)” featuring and directed by DaBaby. Watch HERE. As of late, he has ignited one stunning music video after another, including “Misfit,” “Bulletproof,” and “Free Big Meech.”
Speaking to his impact, Skilla Baby is officially a part of XXL’s coveted 2024 Freshman Class as this year’s “People’s Champ”—voted by the fans.
Skilla Baby concluded his co-headline “Vultures Eat The Most” Tour with Rob49, and he’ll ignite Broccoli City Festival in Washington, D.C. on July 27. He sat down for an exclusive interview with People who observed, “Doing whatever he feels seems to be the ultimate mission for Skilla Baby. And right now, he feels like hitting the road with fellow MC and another hit-maker destined to do things on his own accord, Rob49.” Skilla Baby has been on a hot streak with recent plugs in the Associated Press, Galore, Billboard, Stereogum, Rolling Out (cover story) and more. Among many accolades, Skilla Baby graced the 2024 BET Awards red carpet.
