Fourfive Releases New Track “PP”

Skrilla is clearly leaning further into the lane that made “Doot Doot (6 7)” take off, and his new song and music video “RYLO” makes that direction obvious. The mood mirrors that same shadowy energy, built around somber piano lines, light but tense percussion, and added layers of strings and laser like effects that heighten the atmosphere. The track nods to fellow MC Rylo Rodriguez, matching his presence with gritty street scenes, money driven boasts, and sharp, cinematic details throughout the verses.

There is a long instrumental stretch before the final hook that slightly slows the pacing, taking away some of the track’s drive. Still, fans of the Philly rapper will likely find plenty to enjoy here, while those who were not sold on his earlier work probably will not be converted by this release. As Skrilla’s visibility continues to grow and edges closer to oversaturation, it will be interesting to see whether he expands his sound or stays locked into this formula. That answer may come on his next album, which he teased in the video description under the title The Face Of Zombie Land.
