Skillz – “All Night” feat. Regan (Prod. By Gavin Maestro) [Video]

Hey, Gav, this sh** is CRAZY!!!

There is only one thing wrong with this… NOTHING!

Little Regan is adorable. Skillz lyrical skills are still enviable. And that Gavin Maestro-produced track is undeniable. You might end up with this on loop “All Night”… or at least more than a few times. Dope!

Skillz – “2019 Rap Up”

Yup. We all shook our heads at Jussie Smollett. But 2019 was about soooo much more. And Skillz was there for all of it. With his pen and pad apparently. But I know what we are all here for now. That “2019 Rap Up!”

Ha! Writing is where the money is. Skillz peeped Missy Elliot’s pen game paying for fancy cars and was like, “I’m in!” Good check while chasing the dream on the mic… for real. Hear the Breakfast Club interview on that, Skillz’s early career, and much, much more!

Mad Skillz – “2017 Rap Up”

Now you already know the Hip-Hop Nation is not officially ready to let 2017 go until Skillz puts the Rap Up on it with a neat bow!

Hit on some of everything. Shouted out 50 Cent for the use of the “Big Rich Town” (“Power” HBO series beat) jawn. Sub-subliminal shot at Uncle Murda’s toes maybe? Uncle Lenny Grant’s Rap Up game has been major (and mad disrespectful, haaa) these past years.

Now Skillz was just mentioning that there were others doing wrap-ups that weren’t him. This one though. Well, you know what… you check it. We’ll say no more. This is “2014 Rap Up” by Uncle Murda; a redux for you. Spark that who did it better debate whenever you’re ready.

DJ Jazzy Jeff x Skillz – “The Jazz Cafe Experience” (Video)

Skillz, formerly known as Mad Skillz hosts this ride that DJ Jazzy Jeff takes us on – using music as a vehicle (Hip-Hop, Jazz). So dope! So instructive, too. Exploring modern Hip-Hop and the sources of its samples…with R.I.P. shouts to J Dilla, M.C.A. and other greats who have fallen…doing honor to them, those who remain, and to our art and artists. Hip-Hop LIVES! Jeff informs and provides commentary throughout the video. Like Skillz says in the video: “You gone LEARN today!” Skillz gives all the shine to Jeff, which is a rarity in today’s me-me-me emceeing. I love how Jeff gives the love right back in this piece, too – declaring, “Skillz is a legend!” Nice!
