Guilla is a Houston rapper and producer profiled in Free Press Houston’s 2015 Getting To Know The FPSF Locals series ahead of his Free Press Summer Fest appearance that year. The paper’s coverage followed a prolific run of releases, with David Garrick noting in 2016 that Guilla might issue three albums in less than a year, and recorded his wider local presence, including hosting a Sci-Fi Movie Night series at The Secret Group. Coverage places his work between hip-hop and electronic production.
