On the otherworldly tune, video game-style keys pierce a glitchy beat. Meanwhile, Ski Mask The Slump God leans into a confident and charismatic cadence. His gruff delivery weighs heavy on the production as a hard-hitting hook takes hold, “Let me see your hands to bring you outside in my land.” At the same time, he sets the scene, “We out in Shibuya, outside in Japan.” Going straight to the source, Ski Mask shot the enigmatic music video Tokyo Japan drifting through the streets in eye catching fashion and super fast cars.
It arrives just in time for his much-anticipated performance at Rolling Loud on this Sunday March 17. He will ignite the Ethika Stage at 5:30-6:15 PM. Don’t miss it!
His most recent solo single “OOGA BOOGA!” landed like a hurricane in 2022. Thus far, it has gathered over 54.4 million Spotify streams in addition to earning critical acclaim. Applauded as “spooky” by The FADER, Lyrical Lemonade went on to rave, “From the moment that you press play and hear this groovy + upbeat instrumental, you’re instantly locked in,” going on to add, “Ski Mask has a history of doing damage over beats like this, and this release is no exception.”
Get ready for a whole lot more music from Ski Mask The Slump God soon.

ABOUT SKI MASK THE SLUMP GOD:
Ski Mask The Slump God has broken boundaries, busted expectations, and blazed a trail of his own as a lyrical virtuoso, cinematic storyteller, and culture-shifting force of nature. As one of the architects of Florida’s 21st century hip-hop revolution, he persists as an uncompromising, unpredictable, and undeniable rap outlier. After a prolific hot streak of celebrated mixtapes, he catapulted to the forefront of the mainstream with his full-length debut album, Stokeley [Victor Victor Worldwide/Republic Records] in 2018. It captured #6 on the Billboard Top 200 and went gold. Thus far, he has unleashed a string of subversive anthems, including the double-platinum “Faucet Failure” and the platinum bangers—“Catch Me Outside,”“Take A Step Back,”“Nuketown,”“Babywipe,” and “Foot Fungus.” Beyond many now-legendary collaborations with the late XXXTentacion, he also joined forces with J. Cole’s DreamVille for the platinum “Costa Rica” and DJ Scheme, Danny Towers, and Lil Yachty on a gold single, “How You Feel?” and the platinum single, “E-Er.” Along the way, he sold out countless headline shows, crisscrossed the country in arenas co-headlining with the $uicide Boy$ and the late Juice WRLD, and graced the bills of top festivals. 2021’s Sin City The Mixtape saw him firing on all cylinders. It bowed in the Top 20 of the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart and Top 40 of the Top 200 anchored by “The Matrix” and “Dr. Seuss.” With billions of streams and praise from Pitchfork, HYPEBEAST, Complex, and more to his name, Ski Mask The Slump God only continues to forge ahead, leaving everything behind him in flames. Enduring the loss of two of his best friends, he hasn’t put out another album in order to process grief, but he remained busy, nonetheless. The MC ignited Halloween 2022 with “OOGA BOOGA!,” hailed by The FADER as an “early-fall classic.” During 2023, he kept busy by lending his razor-sharp skills to everyone from Trippie Redd and SXMPRA to Danny Towers before lyrically taking no prisoners again on 2024’s “Fly Away”—the opener of Lyrical Lemonade’s blockbuster All Is Yellow. Now, he returns with his first solo single in two years, “Shibuya,” kickstarting the next era of Ski Mask The Slump God
