This year has been nothing short of monumental for Skilla Baby. In October, he celebrated his birthday with two electrifying hometown shows, featuring guest appearances by Tee Grizzley, Sada Baby, and G Herbo, all under the creative direction of Teyana Taylor. The Detroit phenom is back with the highly anticipated third installment of his Crack Music mixtape series, CM3. Packed with 16 tracks of unapologetically raw bars, diverse beats, and star-studded features, the project highlights Skilla’s evolution as an artist while staying true to his gritty roots. Collaborating with heavyweights like Tee Grizzley, Toosii, and Hunxho, “CM3” explores themes of loyalty, ambition, and the reality of street life. Addressing critics and celebrating his success, Skilla declares in “CM3”:

I’m richer than I’ve ever been, and that’s why they’re mad.

Skilla sets the tone on the fiery opener Donovan McNabb, asserting his dominance with unrelenting lyricism and booming production. Whether it’s the celebratory vibes of So Bad or the bar-for-bar brilliance of Controversy 2 with Tee Grizzley, the mixtape captures the essence of Detroit’s rap scene while showcasing Skilla’s undeniable talent. In the standout track Sensual, Skilla’s raw delivery contrasts with Toosii’s melodic flows, blending nostalgic ’90s bedroom vibes with a modern twist. Fans are also treated to tracks like Can’t Afford It featuring Hunxho and the sequel to the 2023 hit Controversy. With production by hitmakers like MIA JayC, Bizness Boi, and Dizzy Banko, Skilla’s distinct sound finds a perfect complement in the mixtape’s dynamic beats. His 2024 deluxe release of The Coldest crossed 100 million streams, while standout tracks like Booby Trap On The River continued his streak of viral visuals.
