Stokeley Clevon Goulbourne Jr. (born April 18, 1996), better known by the stage name Ski Mask the Slump God (formerly stylized as $ki Mask “The Slump God”), is a rapper hailing from Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Ski met XXXTENTACION while he was in juvenile jail; the two would eventually form the music collective Very Rare, and later it was rebranded as Members Only.
Ski’s unorthodox delivery and flow, along with his creative use of pop culture references and lyricism over hard creative trap beats set Ski and his crew apart from the rest. Drawing heavy influence from his Jamaican background, he is known for his unique, quick-witted cadence.
During an interview with Office Magazine, Ski stated that his stage name comes from him taking too much Xanax when he was younger.
Ski released his third mixtape, BEWARE THE BOOK OF ELI on May 11, 2018. It featured the likes of Rich the Kid, Ronny J, and production from Murda Beatz. It peaked on the US Billboard 200 at number 50.
Ski released his debut studio album, STOKELEY on November 30, 2018. It featured Juice WRLD, Austin Lam, Lil Baby, and Lil Yachty, as well as production from those such as Ronny J, Murda Beatz, and Kenny Beats. It peaked on the US Billboard 200 at number 6.
Following a hiatus with only a few singles released between 2019 and 2020, Ski released his fourth mixtape, Sin City, on June 25, 2021.
After another hiatus with a few singles released between 2022 and 2024, Ski would then release his long-awaited sophomore studio album, 11th Dimension on June 7, 2024.
