Posted in Life, Neglected sound, Song of the Day, buzz, entertainment, hip-hop, music with tags , , , , on December 30, 2009 by neglectedsound

“Well its that time a year so I might as well get to it…” Those familiar with Skillz(formerly Mad Skillz) Rap Up series know full well what that line means. It means that each year Skillz puts together a song details all of the years major events from the DC inauguration, to Tiger Woods, to Lebron’s dunk tape, to things you might have missed in the news headlines. This Rap Up series started with the 02 Rap Up and Skillz has continued to become more impressive with these year after year unfortunately a number of emcees have tried to copy and lets just say leave this job to the professionals. Skillz’ Rap Up is the only one I want to hear and look forward to every year. download link below this post.

MEMPHOP (Memphis + HipHop) vet Queen Nilaja released the video for her song Pass The Light produced by Empee that features a verse from Ari and beautiful melody sung by Aset. The video was filmed by fellow Memphopper (yeah I made that up) Infinito 2017 and flows perfectly along with the words to the song. This is pure organic, soulful hiphop at its finest. Glad to see MEMPHOP continuing to grow and the sisters really taking a lead role in it.
