Who Is Lil Skies?

Lil Skies is a talented rapper who rose to stardom during the Soundcloud era. His introduction to music came from his father, Michael Burton Jr., who was a rapper previously known as Dark Skies before changing it to BurntMan. Obviously, Lil Skies’ stage name pays homage to his father’s former rap alias.

In 2017, Skies garnered major streams with a string of songs including “Rude” and “Signs of Jealousy.” Atlantic Records took notice of the Pennsylvania rhymer’s massive streaming stats and partnered with him through Skies’ label, All We Got. In 2018, Skies dropped his major label mixtape, Life of a Dark Rose, which debuted at No. 23 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Lil Skies released his second project, Shelby, in 2019 and followed it with his third studio effort, Unbothered, in 2021.

Skies’ last album was Out Ur Body Music, which he dropped in back in March.

Lil Skies currently lives in a Waynesboro, Pa., and shares parenting duties of his five-year-old son with long-term girlfriend, Jacey Fugate.
