Representing the union of two of Motor Cityās finest lyricists, multi-platinum Detroit storyteller Tee Grizzley and rising Hip-Hop phenom Skilla Baby proudly present their anxiously awaited joint mixtape entitled āControversyā, out now via 300 Entertainment/Grizzley Gang.
In tandem with the projectās arrival, they just uncovered the music video for the standout single āStriker Musicā. A melodic piano loop snakes around a glitchy beat as the rappers serve up one of the most chantable choruses on the project with stomping intensity.
Cinematic flare has defined the rollout of āControversyā though. āB&E Part 1ā hinges on a conversation between Tee Grizzley and Skilla as they find themselves in the midst of a home invasion and robbery gone horribly wrong. At first, Tee urges, āLetās get back to the crib and add up what we got,ā only to realize, āThis shit a chase.ā By the time the police swarm the scene, he argues with his cohort, āLetās change our clothes and walk up like weāre nosy thatās the coldest play.ā The video displays this action in real-time.
The 12-track body of work proves unprecedented. It unexpectedly brings together two Detroit luminaries, crossing perceived lines and teaming up to deliver one of the yearās hottest collaborations.
About their union, Tee commented: āMe and Skilla went and made something we can both be proud of for our city, and we aināt stopping with this.ā Skilla agreed, āAt Grizzley camp we eat the most. This project should separate us from the competition.ā
