Skrilla: The ‘Bazin’ music video proves Philly’s own keeps paving his own lane
It’s safe to say Skrilla is comfortable in his own skin. How about seeing the level of love he’s getting from his Philadelphia supporters? It’s all the cinematic flexing in the ‘Bazin’ music video.
From pulling up at Philadelphia 76ers games to turning up at concerts - it’s all eyes on Big Skrilla. Tap in.
Today (3.6), Skrilla returns with the release of his newest single, “Bazin” via Capitol Records/Priority Records. Produced by yabaykid, Skrilla trades chant-ready hooks for two minutes and twenty-nine seconds of vivid Philly storytelling, delivered with the urgency of street reportage over hard-hitting drums. On “Bazin,” he paints a stark picture of everyday life in the city he calls “Zombietown.”
Sonically, “Bazin” hits with rumbling low end and punchy percussion. The beat moves with a slow, stomping momentum that can feel double-time as the drums push forward. It is a lean, relentless backdrop for Skrilla’s sharpest writing yet.
“Bazin” arrives after Skrilla’s massive 2025 breakout with “Doot Doot (6 7),” a moment that didn’t just live online. The “6-7” celebration crossed into sports culture and showed up across the NBA, NFL, and college sports. As XXL put it, Skrilla is “an ascendant rap star and one of the most inescapable forces in viral culture.”
With “Bazin,” the direction is clear: Skrilla is sharpening his pen and widening the scope as he builds toward his next chapter.
About Skrilla:
At the center of the cultural wave “6 7” is Skrilla, the Philly native whose viral “Doot Doot (6 7)” has evolved from an underground release into one of 2025’s defining anthems — with Dictionary.com even crowning “6 7” 2025’s Word of the Year. From NBA and NFL highlight reels to TikTok feeds and classrooms across the country, the “6 7” chant has truly been cemented as part of the cultural lexicon. Celebrities from Kim Kardashian to Natasha Bedingfield have joined the trend, and it has been featured in conversation on The Today Show, Live with Kelly and Mark and even South Park — which devoted an entire episode to the phenomenon. Gearing up to release a new project, 2026 is shaping up to be Skrilla’s biggest year yet.
