The invincible Skillz from V.A. done wrapped the O-Nine up for us and naturally there’s some funny ass rhymes, but oh so true. Barack Obama becoming the first black president, Rihanna v.s. Chris Brown, Michael Jackson‘s death, Jazzy Jeff getting kicked out of Kansas because he played Hip Hop, Twitter becoming huge and Tiger Woods putting 18 hoes. I remember when Skillz was still Mad Skillz and him blowing everybody’s mind when he dropped dem sick as freestyles on Freestyle Frenzy with Stretch Armstrong & Bobbito. Memories of the past and memories of the past year…it’s all love.

Some of you might have slept on the “Soul Mixtape” by DJ Jazzy Jeff from 4 years ago. For those that did we have a crazy song we had to share with soul singer V who recently released his second album. His first album – The Revelation Is Now Televised – is a true masterpiece and was produced by Jazzy Jeff and Pete Kuzma (Jill Scott’s band leader). To be perfectly honest V’s latest album is a bit of a disappointment and it doesn’t come close to the first BBE release.
