In 2020 Holly released the bass-heavy mixtape Dark Skies & Holy Grail, [33] a collection of 11 tracks made between the United States and Holly's hometown in Portugal. [3] Holly described Dark Skies as a metaphor for how he saw the world at the time of making the project- with 'Dark Skies' representing the difficulties that we face in order to conquer our dreams, and dreams being represented by 'Holy Grail'.

Holly and Mac P Dawg's family mutually decided to go ahead with releasing the track with all proceeds donated to Mac's family. [38] [37]
