Album:
As countless other reviews will tell you, if you've listened to rap in recent years you've heard Skillz before. The Virginia rapper came up as a ghostwriter. Although ghostwriting is a commonplace practice in R&B and pop music, in certain ways it's the antithesis of rap -- a very hush-hush subject among hip hop heads. Skillz jumped off in 2000 upon gaining attention for his song "Ghostwriter," ...

Track:06 Rap Up
So last night, I was talking about the show My Block:VA and I went in to mentioning Skillz. Well, I'm gonna tell you about the guy, but not everyone on MB:VA (Timmy and the Neptunes get enough due). I mention Skillz because he's the one artist you've heard but haven't heard of. Coming out of Richmond, he originally went by the name "Mad Skillz" before dropping the moniker years later.
