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