2018 song by Ski Mask the Slump God and Juice Wrld From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Nuketown" is a song by American rapper Ski Mask the Slump God, featuring fellow American rapper Juice Wrld. It was released as the second track of the former's debut studio album Stokeley. "Nuketown" was the first track that the artists had recorded in mid-2018; however, it was the only track that would be officially released during Juice's lifetime. The track is very reminiscent of the loud aggressive tracks that Ski Mask used to release with the late XXXTentacion, with Juice Wrld paying homage to him on his verse on the track.

The song received positive reviews. Writing for Pitchfork, Trey Alston praised the production and Ski Mask the Slump God's cadence, saying "[Ski Mask the Slump God] deflects attention from a mid-tempo, bass-heavy beat and allocates it to his jittery cadence".[2] Donna-Claire Chesman of DJbooth labelled the song "[a] dark [shout] of the SoundCloud era".[3]
The official music video for "Nuketown" was released on October 25, 2019. Directed by Cole Bennett, the video sees Ski Mask the Slump God and Juice Wrld fighting enemies in a desert after their plane crashes. The video has over 60 million views as of June 2022. [4][5]
