10 Things Lil Skies Can't Live Without

It just smells like fresh life, bruh.

Smells like, oh my gosh.

Wow. I can't even explain this smell,

it's just like that, like damn.

What's up GQ, it's Lil' Skies

and these are my ten essentials.

Let's get it.

[hip-hop music begins]

Yes. [starts to laugh]

So one of my things is water.

I drink a lot of water.

Like every single day,

probably like 20 bottles of water.

And I feel it like hydrating me as I drink it.

So I think that's why I like it.

I'm not a big like juice person,

but I like Aquafina.

I think that's my number one.

It's just the best.

It tastes the best.

This is pretty much my go-to all times.

Clear, clean. Ya dig?

This one is a chain that I got made by Icebox.

It's very important to me cause it has my mom

in it with me on there as a baby.

And then it has her name, Shelby on the back.

We both got one.

I got my mom one

and myself one for my album, Shelby.

This piece is very important to me.

I keep it with me everywhere.

You feel me?

Just to remember how far I came

and who I do it for.

I love my mom.

She's very important to me.

She plays a big key in my life.

So shout out to her, shout out to Shelby.

Put her in some diamonds.

Got some racks.

We all need money to survive,

so I like to keep a little pack on me.

I might not even spend it all on myself.

I might need to go get my son some milk

or some diapers or something.

You know,

you never know what you might need it for.

I just like to keep it on me

just in case I probably wouldn't even spend it.

I probably just put it back in the bank.

These are the two things

I need to get my mind right.

When you need to relieve some stress.

This is important to have around me in the studio

because this is what we do in the studio.

We're smoking like chimney,

to be honest, we blowing down.

So we need a whole lot of these

and we need a whole bunch of these.

And I like about these papers is

it comes a lot in the pack

but I really be smoking

cause I be running through these whole thing,

whole packs of these.

Fire.

We got a white tee.

This one ain't a new one,

but I normally try to keep me

some new ones and fresh ones.

It doesn't matter, I wear Hanes.

Hanes is the ones I get, but I get some Polo ones

or some Nautica ones when I can catch 'em.

But I always keep a white tee

with me cause I'm a sweaty person.

Like I go somewhere and I might sweat

out this t-shirt

so I need another shirt to put on.

So this is very convenient for me.

And it goes with everything.

You never go wrong with white tee.

I'll wear some smalls,

but if I buy 'em small, after I wear 'em

once if I bought them as a small,

I just throw them away.

Cause when you wash the small t-shirts they

already get super tight.

And I know 'em,

that's why I normally get a medium.

So when you wash them, they pretty much turn

into the smallest.

The white tee people,

the people that wear white tees

every day or all the time,

they know exactly what I'm talking about.

So yeah.

Shout out to the fam.

Hanes hit me up.

All right.

So this is Wild Bill's beef jerky.

This to me is like the realest

beef jerky ever made.

Like, cause it's chewy,

they got the good saltiness on it.

Like, it's been my favorite ever

since I was kid,

ever since I was growing up around here.

I've been eating this probably

since I was like 10 years old.

And it's been faithful like every day.

Cause I don't really eat that much.

So this is something I can always

like get in my stomach.

I can always eat it pretty much

at any time you, feel me.

So I love these.

It's very convenient for me,

cause I'd be on the go sometimes

and stuff too, so.

I think it's a PA thing.

Ya'know, because I don't be seeing

these anywhere else in the world.

I only be seeing them like

in my hometown where I'm from, but yeah.

Shout out to Wild Bills, man.

The best beef jerky in the world

they redid the bag or something.

Cause it didn't always look like this.

I would've had the older bag

but I always get the original.

I don't do all that teriyaki and all that stuff.

It doesn't need much added to it.

This is just right, bro.

Like it's perfect.

Anybody that I let try this jerky too.

They love it.

They love it.

They say it's the best day ever tried for real.

So I know I'm not crazy.

Hair ties.

I like to keep these

because these are like lighters.

You just lose a lot of hair ties,

when you have long hair and stuff.

Now I see why females too,

like be keeping these shits in their purse,

whatever.

My hair nowadays is pretty much

like starting to just get in the way

it be too poofy.

So I got to pull it up, so.

What I like about these ones is they're thick

and they're not the easy break one.

So these don't break easily.

So I like these,

probably go through like three

or four of these a day with my hair.

Cause I do be breaking them and stuff.

I don't know.

It just happens.

So you got to keep them on deck.

My keys.

Yeah, these are pretty convenient.

You need these to drive and do stuff or whatever.

So when I'm not working or on the road

or whatever, I be back home

and I like to drive my car.

I like to drive myself places.

I know some famous people or rappers,

they get drivers and stuff,

but I really prefer driving myself.

I'm just alone.

So I like having my keys though with me,

drive the car and get into my house,

get into my room,

whatever I need to do, these are convenient.

Like I love driving my car, both of my car.

I got a couple.

My nicest car is probably

the 2019 Dodge Challenger,

just some cool shit.

That new thing coming soon.

I ain't saying what I'm getting yet,

but I'm gonna get something fire, fire.

This is some cologne, Givenchy.

Shout out to them.

I'm a big smell person though.

Cologne person, like people be surprised, bro.

I like a lot of the female like fragrances.

They be smelling real good.

The female fragrances got some good stuff too.

I go shopping at Bath and Body Works,

and stuff and get all of my stuff.

Like I even get some stuff from there

like some colognes and stuff.

Stuff they be having, candles.

I'm just big into the smells.

The fragrances need to smell good.

Nobody wants a stinky person.

You don't want no stinking dudes.

So I try to stay as clean as possible.

This and lotion.

I keep it on deck.

Gotta have it.

Yeah.

Cologne

gang.

Last but not least.

We got my bag.

Shout out to Jay Cure.

Shout out to him,

over there at West coast.

He actually had this bag.

I was the high time show

and he was there or whatever.

And he had this bag on him.

I been telling him that I wanted one of these.

Cause he be having all that exclusive drip.

Ain't nobody know Jay Cure be having

all that exclusive drip.

But he had this one on him,

ya'know how I showed you that emergency stash.

I had a little bit of money on me.

so I was like, bro, I need that bag.

So I literally bought the bag right off him.

Like I think I spent $8K I think seven,

$8K maybe.

I don't know the full price,

but he gave me this like,

emptied all his shit out of it,

and gave it to me.

That's love.

Shout out to bro.

I fucked it up.

I use it so much.

It's like broke.

See that it's just hanging from there,

it's just broke.

I love this bag so much,

I use it for everything,

traveling, anywhere I go

I pretty much take it with me.

Like anything, even if I'm not

on the road or whatever,

going to the studio,

I take it.

It seems like I bring a lot of stuff

with me even when I try not to.

So this just comes in clutch,

put anything in here,

all your essentials,

whatever you need, ready to go.

Shout out the LV, Louis Vuitton.

This is fire

and shit one of my favorite bags.
