Skilla Baby Taps 42 Dugg For 'West To East' Video

(IC) Detroit rapper Skilla Baby releases his new track "West to East" featuring fellow Motor City star 42 Dugg. The new single is as uncompromising as they come - a booming, streetwise ode to resilience and dominance that arrives alongside a gritty yet cinematic video.

Inspired from Skilla's experiences, and sharpened by the duo's undeniable camaraderie, "West to East" surges with earned confidence. Skilla sneers, "They tryna kick me out Detroit," before spitting merciless bars at his would-be haters. Dugg lets loose his signature whistle, then joins in on the fun. Opening on the voice of late, great Detroit rap legend Blade Icewood, the track is co-produced by Skilla with Go Grizzly, Mars, Dash, and D'jaun Wiggins.

The song also continues a meaningful collaboration that was crystallized when Skilla made a surprise on-stage appearance with Dugg last summer. It was an indelible show of Detroit strength and loyalty, and the two reunited earlier this year on Dugg's celebratory single, "Thick One," found on his celebrated Part 3 mixtape.

Directed by Daniil X (Leon Thomas, Hit-Boy), the "West to East" video is further testament to that partnership, dropping Skilla and Dugg into a high-stakes, high-speed narrative. In one moment, they're on top of the world - in the next, everything turns upside down as the clip takes on a documentary-style first-person urgency.
