Sexyy Red Celebrates as ‘SkeeYee’ Takes Top Honors for Best Rap Song in 2023

Sexyy Red, the rising star of 2023, has clinched another milestone in her remarkable year with the recognition of her hit track, “SkeeYee.” Recently, Rolling Stone unveiled their selection of the finest rap songs of the year, and it was “SkeeYee” that claimed the coveted top spot.

In a recent announcement on December 20, Rolling Stone unveiled its carefully curated list of the best rap songs of 2023, and to no one’s surprise, Sexyy Red’s “SkeeYee” emerged as the frontrunner. The prestigious nod from Rolling Stone further solidifies Sexyy Red’s breakout success in the music industry this year.

Rolling Stone’s commendation for “SkeeYee” highlighted Sexyy Red’s distinctive conversational delivery and the unique charm of her almost whiny trills, creating an exciting yet laid-back flow.

The magazine also lauded Tay Keith’s production, describing it as a nostalgic journey reminiscent of the simpler times marked by T-Mobile Sidekicks and physical mixtapes.

The production features a sinister piano loop, spacious bass, and piercing high hats, creating an extraordinary atmosphere. According to Rolling Stone, “SkeeYee” possesses a contagious appeal, spreading like a laugh so infectious that it becomes extraordinary in its silliness.

Sexyy Red, a proud native of St. Louis, took to social media to share her reaction to the news. Her response was succinct but expressive as she stamped her approval with a resounding “Okayyyy!” In a separate tweet, she added a touch of humor, declaring, “I deserveeee. (Mama dee voice).”

Among the fierce competition, “SkeeYee” triumphed over other notable tracks, including Latto’s “Put It On Da Floor,” Ice Spice’s “Deli,” Veeze’s “Not A Drill,” and J. Cole and Lil Yachty’s “The Secret Recipe,” which rounded out the top five on Rolling Stone’s prestigious list.
