Rylo Rodriguez Drops 'Eliza (Bless Me Up)' From New Album 'S.K.A.T.E.'

Mobile, Alabama's own Rylo Rodriguez is finally back with his first album in three years, S.K.A.T.E., and the project proves the Lil Baby signee is still one of the most unpredictable lyricists in the game. On the standout cut "Eliza (Bless Me Up)," Rylo pairs his signature mush-mouthed, melodic flow with a luxurious soul-sample chop. He spends the track bouncing between high-end flexes like skeleton AP watches and the heavy Southern pain rap that anchored his rise, proving his pen is as sharp as ever. According to a review by The FADER, the track highlights both Rylo's genius and his unfiltered, free-associative habit of saying whatever crosses his mind. That stream-of-consciousness style has already stirred up some noise, sparking a brief Instagram back-and-forth with Offset over a line on the song. Midway through the track, the production slows down to a crawl, letting Rylo amble through stories of Chick-Fil-A dates while Playboi Carti ad-libs float in the background. It is a wild, unfiltered ride from one of the South's most compelling voices. Check it out below.
