Atlanta hip-hop veteran Terry Milla crafts stories that have their roots in authenticity and brimming with energy as he makes it his mission to drive positive change in and out of the music industry. His latest release, ‘Learn Ya Bout Me’, sees him recount the struggles he faced that inspired him to live a more holistic lifestyle.
The track is set against a booming trap beat, along with a dark, twisted melody, and using the southern slang often used by figures of authority, Terry sets out to teach his listeners a lesson, one of resilience and determination. After all, he’s been a rapper since “before OutKast came out”.
Terry was immersed in the hip-hop scene from a young age, and he uses his experience to give his listeners a glimpse into those paths that led him to his present stability and success. He takes a deep dive into his origins, and the challenges he faced, but at the same time he manages to turn the negatives into positives, and reminds listeners that he “can only go hard”.
Terry Milla’s impact goes way beyond his music. His innovative entertainment company, 100 Trillion Entertainment, has the primary aim to uplift his fellow artists and creators, and takes its unusual name from the 50-120 trillion cells located in each human body, serving as a symbol of the limitless potential and power we all carry within us. Terry puts his money where his mouth is, and leads by example, working as a dedicated martial arts instructor at his gym, Warrior Garden Combat, and founder of the plant-based food provider Winner Winner Vegan.
The music video for ‘Learn Ya Bout Me’, gives us an insight into Terry’s world as it brings his story to life. We see him rapping at Mudnoc Studios, where he not only showcases his lyrical prowess, but also shows just how much of a multifaceted artist and person Terry is. We then move into the martial arts gym, with scenes of Terry mentoring and practicing, symbolically showing his journey towards healing. Flashes of x-rays and album covers further add emotional resonance to the video. We are invited to step into Terry’s shoes: feeling both the weight of his journey and the joy of his accomplishments.
