Skrilla leans into his darkest lane on new drop 'RYLO'

Skrilla may be hinting at what’s next with the release of his latest music video, 'RYLO', which subtly teases a forthcoming project titled 'The Face Of Zombie Land'. The track arrives as a continuation of the momentum built by his viral breakout 'Doot Doot (6 7)', leaning heavily into the same shadowy, ominous soundscape that helped put him on the map.

Sonically, 'RYLO' keeps things familiar but refined. Brooding piano melodies sit underneath sharp string accents and laser-like effects, paired with stripped-back, forceful percussion. The result is a dark, tense atmosphere that mirrors the street-focused narratives running through the track. Skrilla uses the record to salute fellow rapper Rylo Rodriguez while delivering vivid imagery, money talk, and raw street commentary that aligns with both artists’ lanes.

While the extended instrumental stretch before the final hook slightly disrupts the song’s pacing, it doesn’t completely derail the experience. Fans already tapped into Skrilla’s style will likely appreciate the consistency, though newcomers may find the record reinforces what they already think of his sound rather than expanding it. As Skrilla’s visibility continues to grow, questions remain about whether he’ll evolve beyond this signature aesthetic or continue sharpening it.

Either way, 'RYLO' offers another glimpse into his world, and possibly what to expect from 'The Face Of Zombie Land' when it arrives.
