Thursday
Off the back of the release of his second studio album, 11th Dimension, American rapper Ski Mask the Slump God has announced his debut tour of Australia and New Zealand.
Flipping the script with a middle finger to all expectations, Ski Mask The Slump God has consistently pushed himself to progress, taking hip-hop along with him. He blazed a trail of his own out of BrowardCounty to his platinum-certified full-length debut, Stokeley, bowing in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 in 2018. His elite lyricism, offbeat references, and distinct emotionality bled through the double-platinum “Faucet Failure” and platinum hits “Catch Me Outside,” “Take A Step Back,” “Nuketown,” “Babywipe,” and “Foot Fungus.” A sense of vicious versatility has enabled him to seamlessly collaborate with everyone from close cohort and gone-too-soon brothers XXXTentacion and Juice WRLD and J. Cole’s DreamVille to Lyrical Lemonade, Trippie Redd, Sxmpra, and Danny Towers.
Beyond sharing the stage with $uicide Boy$ and the late Juice WRLD and XXXTentacion, he hasemerged as a powerhouse headliner in his own right. Moreover, he incited the applause of Pitchfork,The FADER, UPROXX, and Complex, to name a few. After stacking up billions of streams, earningmultiplatinum plaques, and fueling the explosion of South Florida as a 21st century hip-hop mecca, SkiMask The Slump God didn’t merely aim to make another album for his long-awaited sophom*oreoffering. Instead, he chose to architect a living and breathing world with his second full-length LP, 11thDimension [Victor Victor Worldwide/Republic Records]. Over the course of 21 tracks, that world findsthe Florida spitter entrenched in layers of not only the mind-blowing rap he’s known for, but alsoalternative, heavy metal, and even Jamaican and island stylings. As such, it unfolds as not only a worthysuccessor to his legacy, but also as a harbinger of the future.
