Skizzy Mars has released his latest track, “Gift and a Curse (feat. Yung Pinch).” The track is the latest release from Skizzy since his latest album Free Skizzy Mars, which was released earlier this summer. “Gift and a Curse (feat. Yung Pinch)” marks the first collab for Skizzy and Yung Pinch – who has collaborated with the likes of YG, Lil Skies, GASHI and toured with G-Eazy. “Gift and a Curse (feat. Yung Pinch)” is available now at all DSPs and streaming services.
Free Skizzy Mars was heralded by singles “No Advice” and “Calabasas,” both joined by companion visuals. Prior to release, Skizzy sat down with Travis Mills for a Beats1 interview to discuss the album. Additionally, Skizzy recently announced plans for a headline Fall tour titled “The Free Skizzy Mars Tour,” which kicks off October 12th at New York’s Webster Hall and continues through November, wrapping in New Orleans’ The Parish Room on November 21st. Tickets for “The Free Skizzy Mars Tour” are available now. Full tour routing below. For more information visit http://skizzymars.com/tour.
Free Skizzy Mars includes some notable features by 24kGoldn on “Bayside,” now joined by companion visual, Yoshi Flower on “All The Time” and Trevor Daniel on the album closer “Afraid.” Released earlier this year, “No Advice,” the first single off Free Skizzy Mars, marked Skizzy’s first solo material since his joint project with labelmate Prelow, I Can’t Take Me Anywhere; the 9-track collaborative project was released in November of 2018. I Can’t Take Me Anywhere follows Skizzy Mars’ last EP, “are you OK?” which includes hit singles, “2006” and “American Dream,” the latter of which was joined by a companion video that premiered onHypeBeast. “American Dream” was also featured on the soundtrack for Madden NFL 19.
NYC native, Skizzy Mars earned instant buzz with his first single, 2011’s “Douchebag,” and has since made his bones as one of contemporary rap’s most eclectic new stars. The Harlem-based MC – known to his family as Myles Mills – followed “Douchebag” with the powerful “Profound“ as well as a pair of much-talked-about mixtapes and increasingly popular live appearances as both headliner and support to such stars as G-Eazy, Logic, and Ty Dolla $ign.
Highlighted by chart-topping tracks like “Time (Ft. G-Eazy & Olivver the Kid),” “The Red Balloon Project” EP dropped in February 2015 and proved a straight-up sensation, debuting at #4 on Billboard’s “Top Rap Albums” chart before peaking at #35 on the overall SoundScan/Billboard 200. A 33-city headline tour followed, highlighted by sold out shows in Los Angeles, Dallas, and Skizzy’s own NYC.
Skizzy has also received a remarkable range of press coverage, with features in such outlets as The Fader, NYLON, Complex, i-D, Pigeons & Planes, and HypeBeast, as well as an appearance on the premiere installment of XXL’s “Ante Up” podcast.
