Zilla (rapper)

Victor Gurrola Jr., better known by his stage name Zilla (formerly VG Skillz and V-Zilla), is an American underground rapper and producer from Houston, Texas.

In 2010, Zilla became a member of hip hop supergroup Army of the Pharaohs, founded by Jedi Mind Tricks frontman Vinnie Paz.

[2] Zilla made his first appearance with Army of the Pharaohs on their fourth studio album, In Death Reborn, released in 2014.

In return, Narcs producer Moonshine offered to furnish some beats for VG Skillz second joint.

[citation needed] It samples tracks from Excaliber's gloomy "Realize" to Surgeon General's physical "Hot Rhymes".

[9] "I don't got money for that Neptunes production, yo I'm not a gimmick rapper, not how I function yo See I don't wanna be that cat that fades in the dark I'm not a follower, I wanna be state-of-the-art" In 2004, V-Zilla collaborated with Swedish producer Astma on his compilation album Astma Presents on the track "I'm Back".

Paz asked V-Zilla to join Army of the Pharaohs in 2011, but it wasn't official until 2012 when it was announced he and Connecticut's Blacastan were added to the group.

In late 2013, V-Zilla changed his name to a more simplified Zilla; he first showed off his name performing with Wu-Tang Clan member Raekwon.

[14] On 8 April 2014, in an interview with The Underground Vault, Zilla announced he was working on his fourth studio album titled Martyr Musick.
