Across 16 tracks, Skilla Baby levels up from every angle. Production credits on the project include the likes of Southside, MIA JayC, Ben Billions, TooDope, and more. Skilla teased the standout leading single Free Meech, then followed up with an official video. Paving away for the new body of work, Skilla spoke on the project:
I took my time to put this project together… Sometimes, I feel like people try to place me in a box.

I say that to say, sorry for the wait but I wanted to put everything I feel into one project. Grab your coats…
