Skrilla raps with such urgency and desperation, he sounds like he’s got five minutes left in a therapy session with a million different stories still needing to be analysed. Whether rapping about the horrors he’s witnessed, the girl he’s trying to court or the cars parked in the driveway, the Philly-born MC spits like he may never get another chance to hop in front of a mic. On his 2024 album Zombie Love Kensington Paradise, he moves from haunting tales of the streets to a defiant need to rock head-to-toe Balenciaga in the dead of summer. Both approaches are thrilling. On the opener “Chiraq”, he admits, “I ain't get to see bro in the casket, my eyes bleeding/I ain't popped Percocets in less than four hours, but I'm fiending.” Elsewhere, on “Blahdahdahdahdah”, he recalls a friend who abandoned the streets after finding religion. There’s a hint of envy in his voice when he raps, “Wodie got pulled over, caught a case and then he started preaching/Wodie changed his life, he went to church and then he turned to deacon.”
