Skilla Baby Archives - Page 4 of 4

The Ohio rap scene is one of the more underrated hot spots for rap talent. Quite a few stars were born in the blue-collar state. You have the likes of Kid Cudi, DaBaby, Trippie Redd, Latto, MGK, and of course the Bone-Thugs-N-Harmony clan. But one that gets little to no spotlight is Doe Boy. A Cleveland native, his gritty tone and brash style of rapping is something that is definitely influenced in his music.

He might not be the most technically-skilled rapper but his approach to production is very unique. This was enough to impress the likes of Future. The founder of the music group Freebandz signed Doe Boy in 2019. Since then, the trap icon has taken him under his wing and he has produced some hits over the past couple of years.

Future even helped the labelmate work on his last record from June, BEEZY. He co-produced that project with the Clevelander and it boasted tons of big names. Now, Doe Boy is back in the studio, this time with up-and-comer, Skilla Baby. Michigan and Ohio talents collide for this nasty and grimy single, “Smack Sh*t.”

The post Doe Boy And Skilla Baby Are Ruthless On “Smack Sh*t” appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Detroit duo Tee Grizzley and Skilla Baby join forces in the video for “Gorgeous,” a rambunctious single highlighted by a thumping instrumental and typically clever lyrics from the Motor City MCs. The title becomes a refrain that continues throughout the track as they detail how gorgeous their jewelry and their women are.

“Gorgeous” appears on Controversy, the Motown tag team’s April project. The project was Grizzley’s second joint mixtape after he teamed up with “White Lows Off Designer” collaborator Lil Durk in 2017 for Bloodas. It also marks the “First Day Out” rapper’s third project in just two years, following the two 2022 mixtapes Half Tee Half Beast and Chapters Of The Trenches. The latter was a high-concept storytelling album presenting a 360-degree view of a string of various characters and was accompanied by a visual component visualizing each of the various narratives.

Skilla Baby, meanwhile, is a newer artist from Detroit who’s making a name for himself with an unrelenting stream of high-impact projects, including three in 2022 — an album, Detroit Raised Me, a mixtape, Crack Music 2, and an EP, We Eat The Most. The work ethic paid off with some high-profile collaborations, including with Chicago compatriot G Herbo on “B’Cuz.”
