About Lil Skies Merch
Lil Skies is an American rapper who is best known for his debut mixtape, ‘Life of a Dark Rose,’ and singles such as ‘Red Roses’ and ‘Nowadays.’ Born and raised in Pennsylvania, he drew musical inspiration from his father who was a struggling rapper but never succeeded in making a music career. Lil started doing the rounds of studios at the tender age of 4. By the time he was a teenager, rapping was the only thing he wanted to do.
He started his journey by uploading his songs on ‘YouTube’ and ‘SoundCloud,’ as he did not have a record deal back then. He started releasing his music in 2017, with singles such as ‘Red Roses’ and ‘Off the Goop.’ The substantial success of these singles led to a record deal with ‘Atlantic Records.’ Soon, he released the mixtape ‘Life of a Dark Rose.’ The album was critically appreciated and peaked at the 10th spot on the ‘Billboard 200’ charts.
Childhood & Early Life
Lil Skies was born Kimetrius Foose, on August 4, 1998, to interracial American parents in a middle-class household. His father, Michael Burton Jr., was a struggling musician and was known by his stage name, ‘Dark Skies.’ He could not make a great music career, but his immense love for music made Skies fall in love with the art form.
As a child, Michael loved listening to rap music. Skies, however, was introduced to all genres by his father. Michael would often take him to the studios with him. Inspired by his father, Skies started freestyling on his own. His father recorded his voice and showed it to his friends. Hence, Skies was inside a recording studio for the first time at the age of 4.
Skies attended the ‘Waynesboro Area High School’ in Pennsylvania and graduated with good grades. He listened to Lil Wayne and 50 Cent and became a huge fan of both these artists. Inspired by Lil Wayne, he decided his stage name would be ‘Lil Skies.’
After graduating high school, Skies got enrolled at the ‘Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania.’ By then, he had decided that it was the right time to get into a full-fledged music career. He tattooed his face to prevent himself from getting a steady job. He dropped out of college in the first year and ventured into a rapping career at the age of 18.
