Detroit rapper Skilla Baby returns with “B’Cuz,” a hypnotic new single that pairs him with the Chicago legend G Herbo. 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 it doesn’t mean they’ve changed: “I’ve been trying to chill, but I still will get on some hood shit.”
