Skillz – For Real
Mad Skillz or Skillz has always been one of the most lyrical dudes IMO. Skillz is most popular for the song “Ghostwriter”. In which he names (but edits) artists for which he has written hit singles. With lines like ‘I’m a ghostwriter, I’m the cat that you don’t see/I write hits for rappers you like and charge ‘em a fee’. Un-edited versions of the track have not surfaced but Skillz is known to do a live performance in which he includes the names. In one live performance he mentions P. Diddy, Foxy Brown, Mase, and Jermaine Dupri. Since the year 2002 Skillz has done a year end “Rap-Up” song that explaines the events of the prior 12 months. If you can find it look for “From where” Skillz ‘ Atlantic debut
Skillz – “For Real” from Three/21 Films on Vimeo.
Skillz grabs Rik Cordero for his latest video.The lead chick is nice on the eyes

The brilliance of Ryan Leslie
Ryan Leslie’s production style utilizes real instruments while still achieving the same style of beat machines. Production credits include Beyoncé, Britney Spears, Cassie, JoJo, Danity Kane, Diddy, Snoop Dogg, Katharine McPhee, LL Cool J & Usher. Here is a cool fact about Ryan Leslie. He finished his junior year and then enroll in college. Leslie attended Harvard University in the fall of 1994 at 15 years old and graduated at the age of 19. I came across this on a message board. He composed this shit on the fly on sirius radio.. it sounds amazing (not really paying attention to the song playing over it, tho)
