Skillz - 2010 Rap Up

Skillz - 2010 Rap-Up


Another year, another edition of Skillz' annual year-in-review rap. Of course it's a little late, but with the amount of hangovers, I'm sure a few of you guys didn't miss much. I'm not going to lie. 2010 made me worried about a lot. There were a lot of high-profile deaths and a lot of hi-jinx in Hollywood that made me wonder 'where are we going?' But that's neither here nor there. It's a new year and time for a new chronological start. Hopefully everyone is in good spirits. We know Skillz is. Check out his 2010 Rap-Up and have a good Sunday, people!

Freestyle Friday (10/15)

What's up Dear Whoever faithful? Friday equals freestyles and we've got a few unorthodox ones on deck today. The first one is by Aleon Craft, an ATL representer. Now, Aleon Craft's been doing his solo thing for a few years, but is finally about to explode onto the scene with an October 28th release date for his 'On the Verge' project. He alludes to it on this almost-a capella freestyle. I must say, the man has a way with words and isn't like the rest of his Atlanta brethren, saturated with swag raps. I'm curious to hear what he's saying. The second freestyle is from a hip-hop oldhead. Skillz has been an industry ghostwriter and personality for years now, but decided to take matters into his own hands after seeing the BET Cyphers at the Hip-Hop Awards this week. He drops his own version of the cypher, complete with background cronies, hilarious punchlines and even a few props. Ironically, the day he put this out, he was signed almost immediately to be in next year's BET Hip-Hop Awards Cypher. Funny what some lyricism can do for a rapper, isn't it. Anyway, check out both freestyles and keep it locked to Dear Whoever...
