In just two minutes, he makes his presence known on this anthem, which is a fitting response to Megan Thee Stallion's #HotGirlSummer, with all the makings of a hit single.

About Skyxx:

Dropping infectious rhymes and flaunting fashion-forward fatigues, Skyxx pushes a punchy new paradigm for hip-hop on his debut for Warner Records. Of Dominican descent, the New York-born and Orlando-based rapper went from corner battle rapping as a kid to earning early viral success with "Bangk" in 2013. A string of independent solo projects followed, including the And Then The Moon Fell and the Sixxty EP. 2018 saw him turn up on Hellbound Radio, which Elevator proclaimed, "a captivating composition from the enigmatic young MC as he continues to elevate his sound." In 2019, the momentum ramped up further with a deal from Warner Records and high-profile collaborations such as Slushii's "Run Up The Block." Skyxx makes his formal debut with the incendiary and irresistible single "Hotboy." Over a sparse beat, he vaults from gruff and nimble verses into the hypnotic hook. Fusing timeless bars and 21stcentury swagger, Skyxx ultimately builds what he calls "the bridge of classic rap and the new era."
