New Haven’s Skoont Da Don Is Making a Statement With “Get Money”
New Haven, Connecticut artist Skoont Da Don is making one of his biggest statements yet with “Get Money,” a high-energy collaboration with New York’s Scar Lip.
At a time when Connecticut’s music scene is gaining national attention, this release feels like a breakout moment — not just for Skoont, but for the city behind him.
Why “Get Money” Matters for Connecticut
With Connecticut artists continuing to push into bigger conversations, collaborations like this signal a shift. Skoont Da Don linking with a rising New York artist like Scar Lip shows that CT talent is no longer boxed in and it’s expanding, connecting, and demanding attention. Records like Skoont Da Don Get Money show how Connecticut artists are stepping into larger conversations.
The Mindset Behind “Get Money”
For Skoont Da Don, the record reflects real-life motivation — something listeners can connect to daily.
“My mindset was to make music that people can relate to. Everyday people wake up to get money.”
That authenticity is what gives the record its edge and makes it resonate beyond just a typical release.
How the Scar Lip Collaboration Came Together
The collaboration with Scar Lip came from prior connections, making the link-up organic and strategic.
“I already had connections from doing work with her for her 420 events… when I heard this beat I thought instantly Scar Lip will kill this. She got that hunger in her voice.”
That hunger translates directly into the track, giving it a raw and aggressive feel that stands out.
Visual Energy Powered by BTK Visuals
The visual, shot by BTK Visuals, plays a major role in amplifying the record’s impact and presentation.
“Working with BTK is amazing bro, very professional. He made sure I like everything before we’re done… that’s my dog.”
Putting New Haven, Connecticut on the Map
For Skoont Da Don, this release represents something bigger than just music — it’s about the city.
“This release for my city means everything… it’s putting that light on my city. The way I’m pushing this, CT got a big light on us right now.”
As 2TYME continues to document Connecticut’s evolving music scene, artists like Skoont Da Don represent the next wave of momentum coming out of the state.
Stepping Up for a Mainstream Moment
With Scar Lip’s presence on the record, Skoont knew he had to elevate his performance.
“Knowing I was putting a mainstream artist on this record, I knew I had to come different… I want the world to ask ‘who is this Skoonta kid?’”
What’s Next After “Get Money”?
Skoont Da Don is focused on capitalizing on the momentum and continuing his rollout.
“The goal now is to keep pushing this record to my best ability while I have these extra eyes on me… I’ll be dropping another video soon called ‘Judas.’”
From Almost Quitting to Finding New Life
One of the most defining parts of Skoont’s journey is the role his management played in keeping him going.
“My management came along when I was about to give up on myself… doing it alone gets boring and depressing.”
“They came and sparked that life back into me.”— Skoont Da Don
“Shout out to Munchie Management — without them I would not be here.”
That support system helped bring him back at a critical moment in his career.
2026: “The Year of Skoonta”
Being nominated for Male Rapper of the Year marked a turning point for Skoont Da Don — even without taking home the win.
“Even though I didn’t win, I felt like I won… to be placed with people others consider the goats means they noticed me.”
Now, the focus is on what’s ahead.
“2026 looking like the year I retire my mom from working… with ‘Get Money’ on the rise I have a lot of people interested and reaching out.”
“It’s the year of Skoonta.”
