Skilla Baby is back in his bag, delivering “CM3” of his beloved Crack Music mixtape series via Geffen Records. With 16 tracks packed with heavy-hitting beats, razor-sharp lyricism, and a stacked lineup of features, this project cements Skilla’s place as one of the most versatile voices in modern hip-hop.
From the jump, “Donovan McNabb” sets the tone. Over a menacing instrumental, Skilla fires back at doubters who claim he’s gone soft. “Skilla ain’t in the streets, Skilla only makes girl music?” That’s before he proceeds to obliterate the notion with street-coded bars and a delivery that feels like a warning shot.
The album doesn’t let up. Skilla brings in reinforcements with rising star 4batz, melodic heavyweight Toosii, fellow Detroit titan Tee Grizzley, and the ever-smooth Hunxho, each adding their own flavor to the mix. The production stays true to the Crack Music DNA perfectly complementing Skilla’s signature flow.
Beyond the flexes and threats, “CM3” is a testament to growth. Skilla Baby doesn’t just rap about his come-up; he makes you feel it. Every bar drips with conviction, whether he’s talking about the hustle, loyalty, or the weight of his city on his back.
In a rap game flooded with trends, Skilla Baby unapologetically himself, unafraid to evolve. “CM3” it’s a statement. And if this is any indication of where he’s headed, the throne might just have his name on it.
