Skilla Baby

Detroit’s diamond-sharp street spitter Skilla Baby has defined himself as a restless jack of all trades, cooking up soaring melodies on one song and rapid-fire double-time flow patterns on the next. He always looks to switch up his style, but the lone consistency in his discography, which has moved all over the place since he emerged in 2019, is his fan-favorite Crack Music mixtape series. On its third installment, he delivers his trademark versatility, rapping over minimal beats that have become the signature sound of his Motor City home. He named the opening track after Donovan McNabb, who began his NFL career around the time Skilla was born, which reflects the rapper’s willingness to pay homage to his elders, both literal and spiritual. On “Boss Shit,” he makes his case as Michigan’s best stylist, even though he’s tempted by foreign influences: “I got that new Ferrari coming, I do boss shit.”

NYE 2025 (DJ Mix) Album ∙ Dance ∙ 2024 Sonny Fodera In 2024, electronic music entered a new creative era. A decade after the EDM boom, and a few years out of lockdown’s subdued haze, dance music reestablished its footing as a playground of experimentation. Stadiums and festivals filled with adventurous cross-pollinators like Jamie xx, John Summit, and RÜFÜS DU SOL, while underground clubs pulsed with sounds that defied easy categorization, courtesy of innovators like horsegiirL and Yanamaste. Really, the year was about reclaiming electronic music’s core ethos: providing a space of communal creativity that refuses to be put in a box. In that spirit, Apple Music invited DJs and producers from all corners of the scene to create exclusive DJ mixes for New Year’s Eve. They’re bold, boundary-pushing, and full of surprises.
