The 21-Year-Old Artist Looks to Build On Hear My Cry, His Introspective and Intricate 2025 Album, Out Now via 300 Ent.
The Rising Rapper Follows Up an Exciting 2025 With A Fast Start to the New Year, Collaborating With NoCap For a Display of Emotional Lyricism
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
“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.” – Fox 2 Detroit
The Song:
Luhh Dyl made noise in 2025 with his intricate wordplay and unique sonic palette, layering his flow above acoustic guitars to work through his troubles. Hot on the heels of earning Rappers To Watch in 2026 honors from Complex, 21-year-old Detroit native looks to make an even bigger splash this year, connecting with NoCap for “Still Having Problems,” his first single of the year. Cutting through an acoustic guitar loop with lilting melody, Dyl imagines alternate realities where he isn’t a rapper and needs to find other ways to exercise his brain: “If I weren’t a rapper I’d probably be somewhere with a telescope,” he intones. During his supersized second verse, NoCap taps into Dyl’s wavelength, reflecting on his daily trauma with his trademark wit: “I might never reach my goals, I may never sleep at night/Even though I call you my twin, this sh*t ain’t the same,” he sings. In the video, Luhh Dyl and NoCap have a dark night of the soul, contemplating their situations by an open fire as they plan for a brighter future.
“Still Having Problems” is Dyl’s second new song since the release of Hear My Cry, his October 2025 album, anointed by Pitchfork as one of the Best Rap Albums of 2025. Avoiding the rattling bass and dramatic keyboard arpeggios that have become Detroit’s sonic hallmark, the young rapper develops his own sound on the new album, working with producers like A-Lau, 4head, TurnMeUpMarr, and Audiojacc, weaving in unexpected samples, including samples of songs by artists like John Coltrane, Duke Ellington, Kid Cudi, and Pinegrove, and gentle acoustic guitars to mirror his contemplative rhymes.
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. The album featured guest appearance from Detroit heroes like Tee Grizzley, Veeze, and Sada Baby, and national names like Loe Shimmy. Both Hear My Cry and Intrude are available on all platforms via 300 Ent.
Only just tapping into his immense potential, Luhh Dyl is ready to make a name for himself. With much more music to come in the wake of Hear My Cry, he positions himself as 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.
