Detroit’s Skilla Baby makes a bold statement with CM3, the latest installment in his celebrated Crack Music mixtape series. Released via Geffen Records, the 16-track project delivers a mix of hard-hitting bars, infectious beats, and standout collaborations that highlight Skilla’s growing influence in the rap world.
Skilla enlists a roster of talented collaborators, including Tee Grizzley, Hunxho, Toosii, and 4batz. Key tracks include “Can’t Afford It,” where Hunxho’s energy matches Skilla’s triumphant tone, and “So Bad,” which pairs 4batz with Skilla for a party-ready anthem, complete with a vibrant music video.
“Controversy 2” reunites Skilla and Tee Grizzley for a sequel packed with sharp lyricism and chemistry, reinforcing their potential as a Detroit rap superduo. Additionally, “Thug Life” features Peezy’s nod to 2Pac, adding depth to the project’s storytelling.
Production is a cornerstone of CM3, with beats crafted by GRAMMY®-nominated Bizness Boi, Dizzy Banko, and Skilla’s frequent collaborator MIA JayC. Their work lays the foundation for Skilla’s commanding performances, especially on tracks like the opener, “Donovan Mcnabb.” Here, Skilla confronts critics with confidence, delivering punchlines like, “AYE! A hundred thousand every week, I’m in my bag / Richer than I ever f—-g been, that’s probably why they mad.”
With CM3, Skilla Baby continues to redefine Detroit rap, offering a collection of tracks that emphasize his lyrical talent and adaptability.
