As a youth, Skies spent his time between Chambersburg and Waynesboro where his father a local rhymer planted seeds of rap success in the then toddlers fertile mind. The freedom of just going into the booth and spitting and freestyling to release whatever was on your mind was alluring to me. I literally knew what I wanted to do with my life at 4-years-old. While some saw an unassuming, skating stoner, saturated in tattoos a fixture in forgotten small-towns across America beneath the surface laid a sharp and perceptive mind that gravitated towards punchy lyrics masked by melodic delivery like those of 50 Cent and Lil Wayne. My body is a canvas and with my tattoos, I want them to be a direct reflection of my thoughts. I have cold heart written in Chinese backward under my eye and people ask about it all the time, Skies described of his latest inka nod to his lyrics, which serves as a reminder and a warning to remain genuine. I just keep it real, and some people think I have a cold heart for that. Where I come from everyone is so scared to do something different and be themselves. People see my face and they are shocked, they judge me and think he has a case or hes a thug. But Im not a dumbass, I went to college, I had a 4.0. My face tats are another way of me showing my fans its OK to be you and to shock people with your truths. My dad paid for a lot of studio time until I could get a job when I was 14. My dad was basically in my life because of music, Skies said. A straight-A student in high school, Skies enrolled at Shippensburg University, where he continued to work on music between schoolwork. While he was the peoples champ in high school, it was the students of Shippensburg who immediately and fervently took to his music, eventually leading to an opportunity to open for Fetty Wap at a 2016 university-sponsored concert. The draw of that moment was too much to ignore, and within a few months, Skies would drop not only out of his school, but two buzzing mixtapes Good Grades Bad Habits and Alone via Soundcloud. I was an excellent student, but the experiences there were to help my music, Skies explains. It was a necessary step in my life to get the music out there. The friends, fans, and resources he soaked up in that short time would come in handy for Skies when his breakout song with friend and collaborator Landon Cube Red Roses started to gain speed. Over a woozy and sparsely-produced track by Menoh Beats, the pair emotively meanders through tales of their vices, women, trust issues, and goals. Red Roses was streamed over 3M times when it dropped in July and coolly received another million in the first week of the long-awaited visuals release helmed by Chicago director and new-rap impresario Cole Bennett of Lyrical Lemonade. It was weeks of working on the mastering, editing, and layering sounds. His next single, Signs of Jealousy continues his sing-song cadence powered by a distinct flow and etched with his pragmatic and relatable musings. For Skies, despite the thorns and harsh terrain, there is no limit or ceiling that blood cannot break.
