Skizzy Mars

Skizzy Mars is a New York City-based MC who specializes in jocular, melodic, slightly left-of-center hip-hop with diversions into numerous strands of rock and other dancefloor styles. The Red Balloon Project (2015) and Alone Together (2016), respectively his first commercial EP and album, effectively launched his career with Billboard 200 placements for both. While he has always been known for lighthearted material, Skizzy's subsequent projects -- including Free Skizzy Mars (2019), Fun & Problems (2021), and Bad as I Wanna Be (2024) -- have documented his growth as an artist and individual with verses relating deep reflection and wisdom. Born and raised in Harlem, Skizzy (Myles Mills) got into modern rock bands, later immersed himself in the output of rappers like Kid Cudi and Kanye West, and traced back to A Tribe Called Quest. While still a teenager, he uploaded "Douchebag," a track that caught some attention and prompted him to expose more material that attracted a publishing deal. A couple mixtapes, Phases and Pace, followed in 2013 and 2014, respectively. The Red Balloon Project, a seven-track EP supported by major distribution from WEA, was released in February 2015 and debuted at number 35 on the Billboard 200 chart. Alone Together, Skizzy's proper debut album, followed in April 2016 with appearances from JoJo and Rome Fortune, among others. It landed at number 50 on the Billboard 200. That same year, he appeared with Jasmine Thompson on Vice's "Steady 1234" single, later collaborating with Take a Daytrip on 2017's "She Knows." The following year, Skizzy issued the vulnerable are you OK? EP, which featured the singles "American Dream" and "2006." Months later, he teamed with Prelow for the collaborative set I Can't Take Me Anywhere. In 2019, he released the full-length Free Skizzy Mars, which featured guests 24kGoldn, Yoshi Flower, and Trevor Daniel. The album's carefree "Calabasas" quickly became one of the rapper's most popular tracks. Next came Fun & Problems, issued in 2021 with no featured appearances and a handful of tracks -- such as the romantic and feel-good "Slow Dance" -- eclipsing over a million streams. Skizzy then joined the roster of the 10K Projects label, and in 2024 delivered Bad as I Wanna Be, another snapshot of his personal and creative evolution. The pop-punk reconciliation "Say Something" and more rocking and upfront "Issues," featuring G-Eazy, were among the highlights.
