Coming out of New Jersey, and currently holding it down at Penn State, SlickkLando is an artist to watch—and his latest single, “Deep End” (produced by Ray Lennon), makes it clear he’s not afraid to swim in deeper emotional waters. A melodic and vulnerable anthem, “Deep End” speaks to heartbreak, healing, and the uncertainty that comes with trying to keep your head above emotional tides. Since its release, the music video has climbed to 42,000 views on YouTube, and it’s picking up real-time momentum from fans and college creatives alike.
Lando’s sound leans into melodic rap but pulls from a wide spectrum of influence—from Fetty Wap, DJ Lilman, and Drake to Al Green, The Beatles, and Michael Jackson. He’s not chasing trends—he’s chasing connection. The kind that makes people feel seen. “Deep End” isn’t a club record or a playlist filler. It’s a record that sits with you.
The video feels personal, cinematic, and intentional—mirroring the track’s themes with dimmed colors and sharp performance shots that don’t distract from the feeling. That emotion-first approach has helped Lando cultivate a growing base of fans who now jokingly refer to him as “Skinny Dave Blunts,” a nickname that fits his fusion of soul and raw honesty.
Over the last year, SlickkLando has built his profile both on stage and online. He’s opened for Lil Yachty, NLE Choppa, and Chow Lee at the Bryce Jordan Center, rocked the Barclays Center, and even received a co-sign from Kid Laroi during an impromptu freestyle at Penn State. His journey from dorm room recordings to high-profile stages shows the power of intentional growth and nonstop hustle.
Set to drop later this year, his debut project “Heartbreak University” will be a 7-track exploration of growth, vulnerability, and healing—a sonic reflection of where he’s been and where he’s headed.
As he says:
“I want them to walk away in a better mood than when they started listening. I want them to feel like they already know me—like they’ve been through something similar and can relate to what I’m saying. That connection means everything.”
“Deep End” is just the beginning. Lando isn’t just making songs—he’s building something real.
