At the BET Awards Media House, The Morning Hustle host Lore’l sat down with Gillie, Wallo, and their rising artist, Nyla, for an intimate discussion about her music career, creative process, and the unique bond they share as a team. Nyla, also known as New York LA (a creative play on her real name), is the first artist signed to Million Dollars Worth of Game Entertainment.

During the conversation, Nyla expressed her gratitude for having Gillie and Wallo as mentors. “It’s not pressure, it’s gratitude,” she shared, reflecting on the duo’s dedication to helping her build a platform for success. From her early days of secretly sending tracks to Wallo to the moment her songs caught Gillie’s attention, Nyla’s focus on growth has been key. “I wanted to lock in, learn, and perfect what I’m doing,” she explained.

Gillie and Wallo revealed that Nyla’s talent and determination were clear from the beginning. They took deliberate steps to ensure her music’s quality before presenting it. “We wanted to make sure that when it was heard, it was undeniable,” Wallo shared. Gillie echoed this sentiment, balancing his critical ear with recognition of Nyla’s creativity and versatility.

The dynamic between the trio was on full display as they bantered about creative freedom, family bonds, and even humorous debates about Nyla’s lyrics. Despite their close relationship, Gillie clarified, “I stay out of the creative process until the work is ready.” This balance of support and autonomy has allowed Nyla to develop authentically as an artist.

Nyla’s goals remain ambitious. With music available on all streaming platforms, she aims to make a lasting mark in the industry under the mentorship of Gillie and Wallo. As this talented artist continues to carve her own path, her story stands as a testament to discipline, creativity, and the power of supportive collaboration.
