Critical Praise:
“2026 Rapper To Watch: Luhh Dyl makes rap music that’s deeply emotive, introspective, and increasingly spiritual,” and that Hear My Cry “stands out for how locked in he is on confronting his inner demons and imagining what it means to emerge from the darkness.” – Complex
“Somewhere between “Ski” and collabs with Veeze and Tee Grizzley, Dyl’s raps went from good to locked in.” – The FADER
“There’s just something about the slurry, slightly behind-the-beat delivery of newcomers like Dyl and Veeze that makes them very appealing and easy to listen to.” – UPROXX
The Announcement:
Thoughtful and irreverent in equal measure, Detroit riser Luhh Dyl packs pearls of beyond-his-age wisdom into his rapidfire bars. Today, the 22-year-old Detroit native reveals the tracklist for A Time To Hurt, A Time To Heal, his next album. Dyl divides the 21-track album into two halves, dedicating Disc One, A Time To Hurt, to processing his pain, and the second, A Time To Heal, to choosing to find the joy in life, even after the pain. The album is home to recent singles like “Nobody Dere,” “Till Den,” “Rollin With Me,” and “Still Having Problems,” a collaboration with NoCap, and adds several new highlights, including the Lily Allen-sampling “College Girl” and “New Edition,” a posse cut with guest spots from Babyfxce E, Luh Tyler, and 1Up Tee.
Featuring additional guest spots from Lihtz and Shiloh Dynasty, A Time To Hurt, A Time To Heal arrives this Friday, May 1st, via 300 Ent, and is available to pre-save on all platforms. For the first time in Dyl’s career, he will release the upcoming album on vinyl. Dyl’s ATH2 vinyl is available to pre-order HERE
A Time To Hurt, A Time To Heal is the follow-up to Hear My Cry, his October 2025 album, anointed by Pitchfork as one of the Best Rap Albums of 2025. A resilient and redemptive album, Hear My Cry is home to Luhh Dyl’s acclaimed singles, like the Kid Cudi flip “Nite N Day” ft. Flint’s Babyfxce E and Detroit’s 1Up Tee the Pinegrove-sampling “Holdin Back,” “Wish You Could,” a contemplative anthem that earned acclaim from Clash Magazine, “Wouldn’t Believe,” his collaboration with Lil Tony Official which became Dyl’s first track to cross 1 million views, and was named one of the Best Rap Songs of May 2025 by The FADER. Hear My Cry was Dyl’s second full-length of 2025, following January’s Intrude, which has generated over 35 million streams and featured guest spots from Tee Grizzley, Veeze, and Loe Shimmy.
Dyl kept his momentum going into 2026: In January, Complex named the young rising star one of the Rappers To Watch in 2026. The young rapper is preparing to join his “Nite N Day” collaborator Babyfxce E as direct support on “Da Realest Tour,” a 21-date spring national tour. The tour kicks off with a hometown show in Detroit on May 13th, passing through major markets like Chicago, Los Angeles, and Atlanta before ending in NYC on June 15th.
Only just tapping into his immense potential, Luhh Dyl is ready to make a name for himself. With his new album on the way, he is ready to prove that he is an artistic force that can’t be ignored.

The Background:
Luhh Dyl wants to keep you guessing. Poised to be the next big thing out of his city, the 21-year-old Detroit native has cultivated a devoted online fanbase, constantly re-defining himself, and his sound. The burgeoning rapper has coined his own unique subset of hip hop called “Cart Music ” built from a social media concept turned viral movement. From Michael Jackson to artists across genres, Luhh Dyl’s influences are heard in his eclectic sound, consisting of his raw lyricism and a punchy cadence layered on top of rhythmic, melodic beats. In his own words, he wants to make music that is “fun and unexpected,” saying “people have to listen carefully, because they won’t know what I’m going to say next.”
To his family, he’s Dylan – to his friends, Dyl for short, so when it came time to choose a rap moniker, the rapper says Luhh Dyl was a no-brainer. Dyl’s introduction to music came at an early age, freestyling with his brothers & friends. At 17 years old, he went to the studio for the first time, in search of a coping mechanism after his cousin’s passing. From there, making music became a passion almost immediately, and the studio continued to be an outlet for Dyl to express himself in ways that he never had before. He recorded his first song in 2022, tapping into his natural microphone talent and idiosyncratic delivery. Raised by a single mother and growing up in Detroit (amongst other places) he navigated an ever-changing environment, and had to mature quickly, but Dyl says his upbringing put him at an advantage. His experiences in his life have not only pushed him forward but would later serve as the inspiration behind his lyricism.
