Coi Leray ft. Skrilla Track: Lick Back (Remix) Director: OSKH
Coi Leray has always been a master of harnessing viral electricity, and her remix of “Lick Back” featuring Philadelphia riser Skrilla is a calculated strike of pure, assertive energy. This visual isn’t just a music video; it’s a direct response, a declaration, and a perfect visual pairing for a track that’s all about reclaiming your power.
The original “Lick Back,” which dropped earlier this year, was already a standout on her What Happened To Forever? EP, but the addition of Skrilla elevates the street authenticity and lyrical punch. Skrilla, who’s currently riding the wave of his own breakout single and the viral phrase “6 7,” is a seamless fit. His verse is cold, measured, and dripping with menace, grounding Coi’s vibrant, charismatic flow in a gritty reality.
Visually, director OSKH captures the high-stakes atmosphere of the song perfectly. The video is stylized and menacing, dominated by shadow and sharp, kinetic camera work. We see Coi and Skrilla “standing on business,” flanked by their respective crews in high-contrast, often dimly lit industrial settings. This aesthetic eschews the flashy glamour of typical pop-rap visuals for something rawer—think dark warehouses, neon-drenched parking lots, and the glow of diamond chains cutting through the night.
Coi herself is a chameleon, effortlessly blending hard-hitting delivery with her signature playful demeanor, commanding the screen in looks that range from sporty pink-and-white streetwear to more high-fashion, tactical ensembles. Her confidence is palpable, reinforcing the track’s central theme of boss status and self-made wealth.
Ultimately, the “Lick Back (Remix)” video succeeds because it’s a cultural bridge. It pairs one of music’s most personable and chart-topping stars (Coi Leray) with a rapidly ascending figure from the underground (Skrilla), making a statement that is both commercially smart and musically compelling. This collaboration is a win for both artists, delivering an edgy, high-octane visual that proves Coi Leray continues to be one of the most exciting forces in rap today.
