Ski Mask The Slump God is back on the road for the Lost Files Tour, a tour dedicated to his longtime fans that brings back the nostalgia of the 2016 Soundcloud era. The tour serves as a a token of gratitude towards fans by providing an intimate experience with his most popular released tracks that captivate the high energy and heavy-punk influenced rap sound. Before coming out to his first track he respectfully paid homage to deceased artists and close friends, XXXTentacion and Juice WRLD playing “Fuck Love” and “Lean Wit Me” as two of their most widely recognized songs. Ski came out to the infamous countdown on the track “Shibuya,” erupting the crowd into a frenzy right off the bat. Opening with “Shibuya,” embodied the rage sound that would set the tone for the remainder of his performance.
Following the opening track, he rolled back time with “Babywipe,” a popular track from his 2017 debut mixtape, “You Will Regret (Reloaded).” It’s one of those fast paced productions that matches the rapid lyric delivery. The crowd noise echoed through the venue as they continued to open up pits to “Life is Short” and “LA LA,” two tracks for those excited to mosh to the sound of Ski’s heavy 808s and raspy vocals.
Despite Ski Mask shows being prominent to chaotic moshing and head-banging production, one of the most memorable moments of the performance came when he would go on to cover XXXTentacion’s “SAD!” and “Jocelyn Flores.” Two emotional, yet melodic tracks that became symbolic in the music scene, highlighting the matter of suicidal thoughts and internal struggles. The Florida-born artist simultaneously made his way down the stage to the barricade where he proceeded to hug fans, sign autographs, and take pictures making the performance an ever-lasting memory and sincere tribute to his dear friend.
To the dedicated rage fans, what’s a Ski Mask show without arguably two of his most iconic live music tracks. Ski would go on to bring several fans on stage to join him before finishing his setlist. As soon as the first notes dropped on “Take A Step Back” and X’s “Look At Me!” fans scattered to open the pits eagerly awaiting the beat drop. Bodies began to clash with one another as the audience jumped and sang lyric for lyric to the blended punk rock and metal influenced rap tracks. The amplified, raw, and distorted anthems ended the show in the only way it could, with an elevated, emphatic, high-energy experience. If you were in attendance for this tour you left with not only with the memory of an electrifying performance, but a reminder that legacies continue to live on through the powerful connection of music.
