Cincinnati's Skylar Blatt is the Midwest's Next Hip-Hop Princess

Cincinnati is a blue collar town, known as the home of the Bengals, the Reds, Skyline Chili, and Procter & Gamble. But despite a bustling scene, the Queen City isn't really known for its hip-hop. Enter rising rapper Skylar Blatt, who has the talent and charisma to put her city on the rap map. Her crushing bars and knack for easy melody has earned her co-signs from some of the biggest artists in the game, and with ILWT/Saint Ka$h/Arista Records at her back, the sky is the limit.

Raised by a single mother as one of six kids, Skylar learned early lessons about the high stakes of life on the Cincinnati streets. When her mom lost her job, she moved in with her Grandma–who Skylar describes as a "gangsta"–who taught her how to survive on her own. She found a safe harbor in hip-hop, escaping her troubles by listening to rappers from all regions–she learned free associative rhyming from Lil Wayne, picked up feminine fury from Nicki Minaj, took notes on the creative use of melody by artists like Young Thug and Future, and implemented plenty of the tough-talking bravado she learned from NY rappers like 50 Cent, Juelz Santana and Jadakiss.

With 10,000 hours of hip-hop study in the bank and a style that she knew stood out from others in her city, she started to embark on her own hip-hop dreams. At first, she uploaded freestyles to her personal Facebook and Instagram pages, and when those gained traction, she started writing her own songs.

After gaining an early co-sign from Meek Mill, and a glowing profile from Lyrical Lemonade, the young rapper started collaborating with many of the Midwest's finest rappers, connecting with Babyface Ray and fellow Cincinnati rapper Midwest Milly for "Exactly," racking up over 800k YT views, and teaming with Icewear Vezzo for the sinister "God Forbid." A lifelong Bengals fan, she teamed with fellow Ohioan Doe Boy to craft "BENGALS (SUPER BOWL)," an anthem meant to cheer on Joe Burrow and company as they played in Super Bowl LVI. In October 2023, Skylar shared her mixtape Blatt SZN, home to "God Forbid" and ten other Cincy slappers. The tape won her a fan in Lola Brooke, who hopped on a remix to her song "F*ck Fame."

Skylar is currently riding a wave of momentum from her new single “Laughin To Tha Bank,” a hard-hitting anthem that is already beginning to impact local radio in Cincinnati. Produced by Too Dope and Akachi, “Laughin To Tha Bank” is a perfect exemplar of what makes Skylar a special talent: rhyming through a sly grin, Skylar crafts an addictive cadence, alternating rich life flexes with intimidating tough talk with effortless ease: "See I'm the type who took her on a date/Just so she can show me where she stay if you ever at her place," rhymes Skylar.

Now, as the inaugural signee to Saint Ka$h Records, the record label founded by Kendell "Sav" Freeman, Skylar is looking to become the next Midwest rapper to break things open. With more music and, "Wake Up," a major collaboration with Chris Brown coming this Friday, April 26th, the Queen City queen is ready to defy the odds. Watch this space.

schwarz auf weiß for the WIP game? (am I talking to a fellow german?)

(fellow german indeed. hallo ✨)

Schwarz auf Weiß (in black and white)

subtitle: All I Want

It’s a short story of sorts (I guess) about myself. It’s based around the song: Our House by Slaughterhouse featuring Eminem and Skylar Grey

It details my outlook on writing and art, the frustrations that come with it and the limitations I have. The trials and tribulations of wanting IT to be perfect and the nightmare that is reality never achieving it.

That as a child all I wanted to do when I grow up was be an Artist - compared to the pragmatism my mother instilled in me that you (specifically me!) cannot make it as an artist. Regardless, I drew and wrote and posted online, garnered a few people who liked it but it being fanwork I could never expect it to be taken seriously.

There’s also supposed to be passages about the writing club I attended during uni, the spark of ambition I had when I thought my writing's so much better than what most of my club mates could do.

A passage is about the life of an adult, that being a "productive part of society" robs all the time and energy I would like to put into my writing but alas!, you gotta get money first I guess.

Quite frankly, it being so much about myself probably is exactly the reason I haven’t written much for it. I don’t usually write so obviously and loudly about myself, it’s daunting. Which is exactly why it’s on the list, as a challenge. Can I write as engaging about myself as I can about characters? Can I put my actually true feelings into words? Usually I ignore them.

Excerpt: (in German only)

Version 1

Das Schreiben. Von Hannes.

Mit welchem Wort fange ich an? Wo beginnt die Geschichte? Warum ist das Blatt Papier so leer und mein Kopf viel zu voll? Die Gedanken gehen überallhin, nur nicht zum Text. I wanne be the best who ever did it. Keine meiner Notizen hilft:

Er soll auf einem Dach stehen, um ihn herum die Hochhäuser der Stadt und vor ihm sein Love Interest. Sie tanzt im Schwarzlicht und lacht ihn fröhlich an. Der Bass erschlägt seine Eingeweide. Alles in der Ich-Perspektive.* Don't know if that goal is feasible, or it isn't. Zwei Buchstaben getippt und drei wieder gelöscht.

Der Bildschirm starrt mich an. Draußen schreit eine Mutter ihre Kinder an, Luca kann mal wieder nichts richtig machen. Mein Bildschirm lässt sich davon nicht erweichen. Die Finger trauen sich nicht auf die Tastatur, also knibbel ich an meinen Fingernägeln. Am Daumen ist noch Schorf vom letzten Schreibversuch. But

if it is then God, if you're listenin': Please grant me the strength to crush all competition. Die Ungeduld wächst. Es sind doch nur ein paar püselige Wörter, das ist nicht schwer. Einfach schreiben, schreiben, schreiben. Ich weiß, wie das geht. Ich weiß, ich kann geniale Texte schreiben.

… to be continued ?"

Skylar Blatt - Hold Me Down (Official Music Video)

Cincy's Skylar Blatt Recruits Chris Brown for "Wake Up," a Feel Good Summer Anthem

Emerging from a rough upbringing to become her city's most promising talent, Cincinnati native Skylar Blatt is ready to take over the Midwest and beyond. Today, the ILWT/Saint Ka$h/Arista signee teams up with Chris Brown to share "Wake Up," a feel good single for the summer.

Lifted by clean guitars and thumping percussion, the song is a showcase for the artist's melodic instincts, as she fits her inspirational bars into an addictive melodic cadence. Rhyming through an audible smile, Skylar expresses gratitude for her god-given talent and takes comfort in what she is building. Halfway through, Breezy joins the party, mimicking Skylar's cadence in his own inimitable tenor.

The collaboration came about organically: Chris became familiar with Skylar after he saw her perform her song "F*ck Fame" on From The Block and posted the clip on his Instagram. After Skylar reached out to thank him, the two developed a friendship and connected when Chris came through Ohio, where they promised that they would work together on a song. That song became "Wake Up," and the two joined forces in Breezy's neighborhood in Los Angeles to film the video.

"Wake Up" is only the first step in Skylar's rise from the Queen City to the top of the rap game. Raised by a single mother as one of six, Skylar turned to hip-hop to escape the troubles of her youth, developing a style derived from the best East Coast and Midwest rappers. She first gained attention with freestyles she posted on her Instagram, eventually gaining an early co-sign from Meek Mill, and a glowing profile from Lyrical Lemonade. In 2022, Skylar started collaborating with some of the finest rappers in the midwest, connecting with Babyface Ray and fellow Cincinnati rapper Midwest Milly for "Exactly," racking up over 800k YT views, and teaming with Icewear Vezzo for the sinister "God Forbid." A lifelong Bengals fan, she teamed with fellow Ohioan Doe Boy to craft "BENGALS (SUPER BOWL)," an anthem meant to cheer on Joe Burrow and company as they played in Super Bowl LVI. In October 2023, Skylar shared her mixtape Blatt SZN, home to "God Forbid" and ten other Cincy slappers. The tape won her a fan in Lola Brooke, who hopped on a remix to her song "F*ck Fame." Before "Wake Up," Skylar released her single "Laughin To Tha Bank,” a hard-hitting anthem that is already beginning to impact local radio in Cincinnati.

Now, as the inaugural signee to Saint Ka$h Records, the record label founded by Kendell "Sav" Freeman, Skylar is looking to become the next Midwest rapper to break things open. With more music on the way, the Queen City queen is ready to defy the odds and take over Summer 2024. Watch this space–the Sky is the limit.
