Skilla Baby: The flex is never-ending with G Herbo pulling through in the 'B'CUZ' music video
Sometimes you just have to do ‘em like John Wick, right Skilla Baby? It’s a New Music Friday and why just put out a fire single like ‘B’CUZ’ when you can link up with G Herbo for a full-fledged new music video?
Skilla Baby knows the audio goes strong but getting the cameras rolling for this new Herbo-featured visual? It’s a major flex. Peep the details and keep scrolling for the clip.
Today, rising Detroit rapper Skilla Baby returns with "B’CUZ," a hypnotic new single that pairs him with the Chicago legend G Herbo. Listen HERE via GEFFEN Records. A precursor to the forthcoming deluxe edition of last year’s We Eat the Most, "B Cuz" is available now at all digital retailers. BET premiered the video in Times Square and On BET Jams.
In the same way that the rappers’ voices intertwine and compliment each other, “B’Cuz” is full of references to John Wick and impulse-purchased chinchilla coats that are counterbalanced by references to the real-life violence that still seems to lurk around every corner. “Don’t mean I ain’t paranoid just ‘cause I’m not in the hood,” Herbo raps during the hook, before Skilla takes it upon himself to clarify that that doesn’t mean they’ve changed: “I’ve been trying to chill, but I still will get on some hood shit.”

“B’Cuz” arrives just weeks after the menacing single "Ok Bet" and Controversy, the full-length project that pairs him with fellow Detroit native Tee Grizzley. Prior to that, Skilla had dropped "Marty McFly," which demonstrated Skilla's singing ability and came complete with a Back to the Future-themed video. Watch it HERE. The rapper previously made waves with 2022's We Eat the Most. The 7-song set cemented his credentials as one of the most insightful newcomers in hip-hop. Whether decoding social media posts (“Duck Your Taco”) or recounting hardships (the hit single “Tay B Style”), Skilla always approaches topics from a unique angle.
A protege of hometown hero Sada Baby, Skilla is carving out a lane as one of the Motor City’s most distinct voices. Though just 24 years old, the MC has amassed an impressive body of work, beginning with Push That Shit Out Skilla, his careening debut album from 2019. Three tapes followed in 2022, We Eat the Most, Detroit Raised Me, and Crack Music 2, underlining his reputation as one of the genre's most enthralling and prolific artists.
