Today, Cincinnati born rapper, Skylar Blatt releases her new confidence infused single “Keep It P” out now via Saint Ka$h/Arista Records. Skylar is back again with her effortless cool girl energy as she shares the morning routine on “Keep It P” after making a statement with “I Look Good” just one month ago.
Discussing the new single Skylar shares, “‘Keep it P’ is one of my favorite songs I’ve ever made. It explains me as a whole lol. I was inspired by making this record because I feel like everyone in the world likes to be player or try to live up to the image as if they are player, but my definition of player is a hundred percent about being a cool person. I feel like the world can relate to that.”
Skylar Blatt’s consistent self assurance, mellow tone and effortless flow glides over each beat as she raps, “Wake up ina morning ima / Brush my teeth / Roll a leaf / Keep it P / Wake up ina morning / Ima take a leap / Ima run the streets / When I need something / Wake up Ina morning ima / Grab a leash / Ima pull a freak / Ima when I need one.” From morning affirmations on her most recent single “I Look Good” to now sharing her morning routine, we can all learn how to stay humble while being at the top of our game just like her.
“Keep It P” follows the momentum of March’s “Major League,” which also coincided with the newly coined “Skylar Blatt Day” in her hometown city of Cincinnati and last month’s release of “I Look Good.” Fans will recognize the same signature swagger, humor, and heat as Skylar’s previous team-ups including Brooklyn’s Lola Brooke on “F**k Fame, Pt. 2,” “Super Bowl” with Doe Boy, and “God Forbid” with Icewear Vezzo. Last year’s “Hold Me Down,” put her melodic charm on full display over a sexy drill-inspired production — a fitting followup to R&B-inflected “Wake Up,” whose official video (shot at Brown’s mansion) recently surpassed 13 million views.
“Wake Up” dropped last April to much fanfare, with TMZ Hip-Hop calling it a “song of the summer,” ESSENCE crowning it a “banger” and one of the “Best New Music” releases that week, and Angela Yee tapping Skylar for a wide-ranging chat on Lip Service. Meanwhile, Billboard selected “Hold Me Down” as one of its R&B/Hip-Hop Fresh Picks, writing, “Blatt is always cool, calm and collected. No matter the tempo of a track, the Cincinnati-bred artist remains in control of the steering wheel.” Before that came “Laughin to tha Bank.”

Artist Biography:
When a lane doesn’t exist, Skylar Blatt will create one. The Cincinnati-born rapper has always thought beyond the confines of her circumstances and her city. She spits raw truth about the struggle, holding nothing back as she recollects trials, tribulations, and triumphs via her music. As the second oldest of six kids raised by a single mother, she and her family endured everything life threw at them. Strife at home would be compounded with the unforgiving nature of a flawed system. Eventually, she and her siblings settled in with her grandmother. Regardless of where she went, hip-hop always provided safe harbor as she listened to the likes of Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Future, Young Thug, Gucci Mane, 50 Cent, Jadakiss, and Juelz Santana. Picking up a mic, she uploaded freestyles of her own to Facebook. She slowly but surely built an audience through consistent posts, gaining serious traction with originals “I Can Tell” and “Urgent Care.” Around the same time, Meek Mill cosigned her. She generated north of 738K YouTube views on “Exactly” [feat. Babyface Ray & Midwest Milly] followed by “God Forbid” [feat. Icewear Vezzo] and “Superbowl (BENGALS)” [feat. Doe Boy]. Reflective of Skylar’s burgeoning buzz throughout 2022, Lyrical Lemonade professed, “her story is so raw and genuine, that it’s hard not to fall in love with her aura,” and Respect My Region pegged her as “Cincinnati’s next big female.” Her hunger has no comparison on a series of releases this year including “F*ck Fame PT. 2” feat. Lola Brooke, “Laughin To Tha Bank” and “Wake Up” feat. Chris Brown, all via Saint Ka$h/Arista Records.
