SKZ is talented, period. They’re the definition of self-producing artists. Pioneers of the mala taste genre, they’re not afraid to make different music, and they’re not trying to be like anyone else. They know they only need 5tay, and 5tay is growing in a monumental way. After all, they’re the undeniably generational leaders of SKZ!
