Skiifall Gives Us A Lush Portrait Of A “Mystery Man” On New Single: Stream

Skiifall is coming back with a new lover’s rock EP titled Lovers Til I’m Gone, produced entirely by Kenny Beats. The “Yuteman Dennis” rapper, singer, and artist dropped the new summery relationship cut “Mystery Man” to celebrate the announcement, and the project will reportedly drop on January 15. In a statement, the Montreal creative and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines native previewed what he wanted this new direction to look like.

“When I first sat with Kenny Beats, he spoke openly about how wanting to honor his father had inspired him to release solo music that ultimately became his debut album Louie,” Skiifall shared. “That conversation gave me the inspiration and confidence to try making music that my own mother would like listening to, since my earliest music wasn’t something she could relate to.” Of course, on his previous effort Woiiyoie Tapes Vol. 2: Intense City, he already proved he could transcend genre lines and show off his talent with ease.

“Mystery Man” will definitely heat you up in the northern hemisphere as we close out the year, and it’s a very exciting and charismatic direction from the “Fam Without Blood” multi-hyphenate that we’re excited to hear grow.

Skiifall’s “Mystery Man”: Stream

Quotable Lyrics
When you rolled up, I would always bring my weed,
We could go up, still you got me on my knees,
Begging you please, to know who took you from me,
But who’s this mystery man?

Born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Gabriel treasures the crossover between his native reggaetón and hip-hop news coverage, such as his review for Bad Bunny’s hometown concert in 2024. But more specifically, he digs for the deeper side of hip-hop conversations, whether that’s the “death” of the genre in 2023, the lyrical and parasocial intricacies of the Kendrick Lamar and Drake battle, or the many moving parts of the Young Thug and YSL RICO case.

Beyond engaging and breaking news coverage, Gabriel makes the most out of his concert obsessions, reviewing and recapping festivals like Rolling Loud Miami and Camp Flog Gnaw. He’s also developed a strong editorial voice through album reviews, think-pieces, and interviews with some of the genre’s brightest upstarts and most enduring obscured gems like Homeboy Sandman, Bktherula, Bas, and Devin Malik.
