ADDENDUM- Information About The word "skrrr".
Excerpt #1
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dear_Silas
"Dear Silas Formerly Trey Parker, real name Silas Stapleton III, is a singer, rapper, and trumpeter from Jackson, Mississippi. Raised in a musical family – his father was an alto saxophonist – he began playing the piano at age eight and the trumpet at age 11. While at Bailey High School[1] he began freestyling, and created his first mixtape.

He attended college at the University of Louisiana in Monroe, studying music performance,[2] but left before he graduated in order to pursue his music career. Music also took precedence over a standup comedy act he had developed.

For a time he stylized his stage name as SilaS,[3] before adopting the name Dear Silas.

[...]

Also in October 2018, he signed a record deal with RCA Records, which re-released The Last Cherry Blossom on 26 April 2019.[8]

It was while he and his producer/DJ were working at the Genius Bar at an Apple store in Jackson[9] that they conceived the song "Skrr Skrr." When released in December 2018, it became the No. 1 Viral Record on Spotify, where it was streamed over 2.6 million times in its first two weeks.[10] The song also entered the Top 40 on iTunes' Hip-Hop/Rap chart. He came to further notice in 2019 when a fan-made version of the "Dexter meme" clip was released in which the Dexter's Laboratory cartoon character is made to sing "Skrr Skrr" into a girl's ear.[11] In March Vevo presented DSCVR performances of both "Skrr Skrr" and "Under My Feet.[12]"

Except #2
From https://www.culture-review.co.za/skrr-skrr
Skrr Skrr? Zimbeni Mphande, February 19, 2019
"skrr is the screeching sound that a car would make if you were driving and suddenly slammed the brakes. According to Urban Dictionary, a South African teen that is heavily influenced by street hip-hop culture and artists such as The Migos and Travis Scott, is sometimes referred to as [a] skrr or skrr skrr. This is because of the sound that can often be heard in their favourite artists’ music or their imitation of these artists. These types of individuals supposedly have dreads, wear lots of jewellery and hang out in urban spaces. Are they misrepresenting American rap culture or – even worse – are they just a figment of our imagination?

Skrr Skrr as a culture
The popular song titled ‘Skrr Skrr’ by American hip hop artist Dear Silas...

‘Skrr Skrr’ made it to the top 40 on ITunes’ Hip Hop/Rap chart. The song was also streamed over 1 million times on both Apple music and Spotify and was named number 1 on Spotify for 12 consecutive days.

Silas said that he was not surprised with the impact the song had on the culture. Besides being extremely catchy, the song serves – rather humorously – as an anthem for members of the Skrr Skrr community. [Pancocojams Editor's note: in South Africa]

Just like any other group of people, skrr skrrs have had to deal with backlash and discrimination from others who can’t quite grasp their nonconformist futurism.

South African skrr skrrs are often ridiculed for their outlandish behaviour when they venture out of their natural habitats. When skrr skrrs visit the more conservative homelands, for example, they are questioned about their behaviour to which a typical response would be “I’m doing it for the culture, fam."
