Toronto-based OVO affiliated Reps Up crew rapper Gilla has been notorious in the underground Hip hop scene over the last few years, flooding the web and streets with mixtapes. In fact, his singles even popped up on The Weeknd‘s blog. As a member of Reps Up (which include rapper P. Reign, Drake’s right-hand man/bodyguard Chubbs, and Baka a.k.a. Baka Not Nice), Gilla’s debut single “Pray For Me” was produced by Grammy-nominated producer Daniel Worthy (Drake, Yo Gotti, PartyNextDoor, The Game).
Gilla is known for his rugged flows and matching good looks. He is a featured model for the OVO clothing line, as seen in their current lookbook. On “Pray For Me,” Gilla spits lyrics of repentance over Worthy’s haunting bass-heavy beats. Look for the cameo appearance from Wu-Tang Clan’s Raekwon, who Gilla has had a working relationship with over the years. The record is the first single from his forthcoming and highly anticipated “Stay Solid, Part Two” mixtape.
