In this episode of Earn Your Leisure, we sit down with Detroit’s own Skilla Baby for a powerful conversation about music, money, real estate, survival, and legacy. Skilla breaks down how he’s built relationships in Detroit, why giving back matters to him, and how he’s earned massive returns flipping houses and investing in properties throughout the city.

We also dive into the personal side of success. Skilla opens up about survivor’s remorse, being shot, paranoia, forgiveness, fame, and overcoming one of the toughest chapters of his life. He shares the lessons he learned losing three Richard Milles, navigating the music industry through trial and error, and how he landed a Nas feature on his album.

Plus, we introduce Skilla to the world of stocks, venture capital, and long-term investing. We break down why the wealthiest people in the world own equities, the danger of buying high and selling low, and how a lack of financial education can keep people away from opportunities that could build generational wealth.
