The clip begins with 50 on a rooftop, smoking a cigar, before Skilla Baby approaches him. Fif begins the conversation by saying, \u201cI\u2019d ask if you aight but I know you aight. You thought this sh*t would be different, huh?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Skilla responds by admitting, \u201cIt still ain\u2019t enough. Every time I feel like I won, another obstacle.\u201d Then, 50 imparts some wisdom: \u201cYou gotta believe me when I tell you this. That\u2019s not gonna go away. You got that disease. It\u2019s called ambition.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>He continues: \u201cThere\u2019s a price for fame, man.\u201d From there, images from Skilla\u2019s early days in Detroit flicker across the screen, interspersed with breaking news stories of violence, baby photos of Skilla, and footage from sold out concerts. Some of that breaking footage is a direct reference to the May 22, 2025, shooting in which Skilla Baby was shot three times and crashed his SUV into a building. He was taken to a hospital, and made a full recovery. It\u2019s clear the life-threatening event still weighs heavily on his mind and makes its way into The Price of Fame.<\/p>\n<p>News of the new LP arrived shortly after Skilla Baby unveiled \u201cFace Card,\u201d which features Chris Brown and Bryson Tiller. On the track, the Motor City rapper offers to soothe his romantic partner\u2019s anxiety with some high-end retail therapy: \u201cLet me put you in that \u2018Rari truck and get you out yo feelins,\u201d he raps.\n<\/p>\n<p>Skilla Baby last released a full-length in 2024, when he dropped two projects: The Coldest in April (with a Deluxe version arriving three months later) and Crack Music 3 in November.\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/skillababy.lnk.to\/ThePriceOfFame?utm_campaign=products&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=udiscovermusic.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Listen to Skilla Baby\u2019s The Price Of Fame.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Skilla Baby has announced that his new LP, The Price of Fame, will arrive on August 21 via&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":562837,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[93,338,21632,61,60,278,237803,237804],"class_list":["post-562836","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-hip-hop","tag-homepage-featured","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-music","tag-skilla-baby","tag-the-price-of-fame"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/562836","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=562836"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/562836\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/562837"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=562836"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=562836"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=562836"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
