![]() He cites Busta Rhymes as a formative influence and recently freestyled over “Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See” for LA Leakers, but at its weakest moments his fast rapping is less Flipmode and more like Eminem’s unlistenable opus “Rap God.” Ski Mask specializes in tracks that are tightly wrapped and sawed-off-half the songs on Sin City don’t even make it past the two-minute mark. The words themselves aren’t complicated, but there’s a lot of them in a little bit of time. The SoundCloud rap movement isn’t usually praised or even considered for technical delivery, but Ski Mask is something of a rapper’s rapper, with a dense chopper flow. The beats are hyperactive, fast-paced, and prone to quick switches-“ADMIT IT” is built around a loop of frenetic bells, while “The Matrix” is almost exclusively dominated by fat bass tones and the familiar rattling drums of regular associate Ronny J. ![]() Peel back the main vocal track and you’ll find layers of ad-libs, a torrent of guttural exclamations-if you took a shot every time Ski Mask yells “Yaw!” you’d black out by the second track. One half skews more pop, the other more punk, both overflowing with energy and aggression once in a blue moon, a softer side emerges, like on Sin City’s opening, “Intro,” where he flexes a Kid Cudi-like warble before the beat switches and his flow goes up to 11.

For that residency, she performed a 22-song setlist, composed of so many of her classic hit songs as well as remixes and covers.Like the film that shares the mixtape’s title, Ski Mask’s music is self-aware, playfully experimenting with rap tropes while still embodying its genre. The residency ended up getting canceled after many delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This isn’t the first time that Christina has taken over Sin City! Christina has a residency in 2019 into 2020 titled The Xperience, which she performed at the Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood Las Vegas.
