One of my fave 08 albums. This jam is just hot. Rik Codero on his directing biz as usual. Song produced by Bink. Seriously this album is worth buying.

I keep saying it and I am going to keep saying it, this dude is one of the illest emcee/rapper/ whatever you choose to call anyone that makes words make sense in the game right now and in the past. Here is his album sampler, and I give this copping status straight up. The Skillz/Freeway joint around the beginning of the clip is sounding mighty mean although I cannot ignore the fact that the track sounds like some old State Property/ Freeway track (check Alright & What we do). I am a big fan of Freeway right from the get go. His rap style is okay with me. I also hear Common on this album what!!!
Album out 22-07-2008…Incase you did not hear while listening to the album sampler lol
I have to admit, I never got to watching the video for this Skillz tuneage. I was just content listening to tracks that have come off his forthcoming album “Million Dollar Bagpack”. If you do not know Skillz, then you lacking a major hip hop dose for real. Skillz is actually an artiste who lives up to his name and I feel strongly that this guy should be with the biggies, pac, jay z and Nas. You probably heard his yearly hip hop rap ups which stay true all that has gone on in Hip hop in each year and hilarious lol. Check the guy out if you haven’t and you would not be disappointed. Here is the video for his “So far so good” song with Talib Kweli which came out bout last week. Hot song. Even more crazier is the song at the end called “Sick” to which I shall throw the download link below the video. Tha album “Million Dollar Bagpack” instores 22/07/2008.
