The Lost Files is the first compilation album by American rapper Ski Mask the Slump God. The compilation consists of 29 songs released between 2014 and 2021 that were initially unavailable commercially, with most having been available only on SoundCloud prior to the album’s release.^[1] The compilation features guest appearances from fellow rappers XXXTentacion, Lil Pump, Denzel Curry, Craig Xen and Pollari. The project was supported by three singles in collaboration with XXXTentacion: "Broly", "Fatality" and "IWatchedHimDrown". The compilation was released on July 30, 2025 through Very Rare & Co and Empire Distribution.^[2]

The Lost Files marked Ski Mask the Slump God’s first project following his signing with Empire Distribution and his first release under his new label, Very Rare & Co. The album compiled previously released tracks from earlier in his career that had not been made available on major streaming platforms.^[3] The compilation album was originally marketed as a 30-track project^[4], however, the song “Freddy vs. Jason” with XXXTentacion was removed at the last minute due to unresolved sample-clearance issues.^[5]

The Lost Files received coverage largely centered on its archival nature and its function as a streaming-era release of Ski Mask the Slump God’s earlier SoundCloud material. Hypebeast described the project as a collection of “SoundCloud classics” newly made available on streaming platforms, highlighting fan-favorite tracks and the inclusion of guest appearances from artists such as XXXTentacion, Denzel Curry, Craig Xen, Lil Pump, and Pollari.^[16]

HotNewHipHop similarly framed the album as a return to Ski Mask’s roots, characterizing it as a large-scale release of previously online-only recordings aimed at long-time listeners and streaming audiences.^[17]

In a roundup of new hip-hop releases, XXL positioned The Lost Files as a “vault” release intended for Ski Mask’s established fanbase, noting that the compilation brought older tracks to digital streaming platforms and included collaborations such as “Broly” and “Fatality” with XXXTentacion.^[18]

iHeartRadio also emphasized the compilation’s role in making Ski Mask’s earlier songs available on major platforms, describing the album as a collection of tracks from his SoundCloud era released on streaming services for the first time.^[19]
