Ski Mask the Slump God

Ski Mask the Slump God, born Stokeley Clevon Goulbourne Jr. in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is a rapper known for his rapid-fire, unorthodox flow and dense wordplay packed with pop-culture and anime references. He rose to prominence in the mid-2010s as part of the Soundcloud rap wave alongside his close friend and collaborator XXXTENTACION, with whom he formed the Members Only collective (originally Very Rare). His playful yet technically demanding cadence and heavy Jamaican-influenced delivery set him apart from many of his Florida peers.

His breakout mixtapes, including YOU WILL REGRET and BEWARE THE BOOK OF ELI, built a cult following before his debut studio album STOKELEY, released in 2018, brought him to a wider audience with features from Juice WRLD, Lil Yachty, and Lil Baby. Singles like «Catch Me Outside» and «Nuketown» showcased his manic energy and ability to shift between hyper-aggressive trap cuts and more melodic, hook-driven tracks.

Ski Mask continued to release music prolifically in the years following STOKELEY, cementing his place as one of the defining voices of the SoundCloud-to-mainstream rap pipeline, known for turning internet humor and gaming culture into rap hits.
