Skizzy Mars Delusional (Ft. Sterling Fox)

I know Philip, our contributor from Albuquerque, NM, posted a Skizzy track recently, but since Phases was bumping in any speakers I could get my paws on this past weekend, I felt compelled to provide my humble opinion on this stellar project.

Skizzy Mars, aka Myles Mills, has gone from Union College campus rapping scrapper to buzzworthy, nationwide touring MC in a very short span of time. As that dude Casey Veggies would say, "Life Changes."

Well, life sounds like it's constantly changing for Skiz the Rapper. From rhyming braggadocious (on "What Up Girl"), to auto-tune serenading (on "Cheer Up"), to raps about dealing with anxiety and substance abuse (on "The Come Down"), Skizzy finds plenty of ways to relate to the young adults of this colorful generation in his newest project.

Here we showcase "Delusional," featuring Sterling Fox on the hook, which is one of the more uptempo tracks on the tape. Along with this track (and the songs mentioned above), make sure to check out the proper way one goes in over an indie rock beat, as he does Beirut's "The Concubine" right on "Nostalgia (Interlude)."

Skizzy need not fret leaving college life behind, as we've seen him mention before. He's got a knack for this rapping thing, and Phases is a nice listen. Frankly, I'm glad he's out here rhyming rather than doing keg-stands, hitting chem class, and chirping co-eds in Schenectady, NY.

Also, he's has been on the road with G-Eazy the past few months, and will be teaming up with Logic this spring for shows scattering the U.S. Follow him here.
