Detroit rapper Skilla Baby<\/strong><\/a> has released his debut studio album The Price Of Fame<\/strong><\/a>. The 22-track project includes guest appearances from Nas and gospel singer Erica Campbell, and arrives alongside a new video for \u201cFor Sure.\u201d The record moves between rap-focused tracks, melodic performances, and candid skits while addressing work, family, ambition, and the personal costs attached to success.<\/p>\n

The cover of The Price of Fame draws on a 1994 photograph of Tupac Shakur in a wheelchair with one hand bandaged. Skilla Baby connected that image to his own brush with death in 2025, an experience that pushed him to rebuild physically, mentally, and spiritually. \u201cGoing into this album, I approached it differently,\u201d he said. \u201cI had a different story to tell.\u201d<\/p>\n

Three singles preceded the album. \u201cShow Me Love\u201d centers on self-worth, gratitude, and distancing oneself from insincere people, with production from Sean Momberger, Rance, BoogzDaBeast, and Warryn Campbell. \u201cFace Card,\u201d featuring Chris Brown and Bryson Tiller and produced by Hitmaka and Aye YB, became the No. 1 most-added song at U.S. Urban Radio. Lead single \u201cGYSM,\u201d short for \u201cget you some money,\u201d focused on the daily grind. Its video cast Skilla Baby as a construction worker, delivery driver, office employee, and janitor.<\/p>\n

In 2024, Skilla Baby released Crack Music 3, a mixtape featuring \u201cJwett,\u201d \u201cSo Bad\u201d with 4Batz, and \u201cControversy 2\u201d with Tee Grizzley. He also issued the deluxe edition of The Coldest in 2024, the same month fans voted him the People\u2019s Champ of the XXL 2024 Freshman Class. In the 2026 XXL Freshmen Class issue, Skilla Baby described The Price Of Fame as \u201can album for the average man\u201d and said he wants listeners to recognize their own struggles in his journey. He also called the record a point of \u201cshedding skin\u201d as he moves from one type of artist to another.\n<\/p>\n
