Rylo Rodriguez Shares Latest Single “Basketball Numbers”

Rylo Rodriguez has quickly established himself as a star of the south. Keeping up his knack for making his individual experiences strike a universal cord with listeners, the 4PF signee shares his latest video single, “Basketball Numbers.” Rhyming over acoustic guitar riffs that radiate a yearning sense of acceptance, Rylo reminisces over a close friend who was handed down a harsh sentence from an unjust system, and how he vows to look out for them and their families through hard times: “They gave him basketball numbers, he took a blind plea/I’m tryna get his lawyer for him, take care of his daughter for him.”

The video for “Basketball Numbers” opens on Rylo shooting hoops in an open gym in a vintage Allen Iverson jersey, interspersed with shots of his friend in a tense meeting with authorities. As the video progresses, Rylo can be seen wearing the same orange jumpsuit as his incarcerated associate, symbolizing his empathetic approach to music; putting himself in his subjects shoes as he speaks on their experiences.
