"Welcome to the Rodeo" is a song by American rapper Lil Skies from his mixtape Life of a Dark Rose. It was produced by Taz Taylor.[2]
Jordan Sargent of Spin described the song as gathering "intoxicating, careening momentum as Skies unravels his origin story", with Skies rapping in a confident manner over a "darting, subterranean beat".[2]
A music video for the song was released on March 29, 2018. Directed by Cole Bennett, it pays homage to the music video of "A Milli" by Lil Wayne.[3] It follows Lil Skies interacting with fans while accompanied by a security guard. He is taken photos, and makes his way to a convertible as a crowd of fans dances behind him, and drives off.[4][5]
