Virginia rapper Skillz might have just ended the credibility war against rap nemesis Uncle Murda. The music veteran has received an epic shout-out from legendary hip-hop crew The Roots.

On this week’s 804th “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” episode, the iconic house band gave Skillz a legendary shout-out by name-dropping him and referencing his Richmond, Virginia hometown’s area code.

Earlier this month, Skillz went to Instagram and downplayed Uncle Murda’s “Why You Mad” diss song.

The same week, Murda surprised fans by announcing and releasing his new battle record which name-dropped Missy Elliott.

Recently, Skillz came forward to defend blasting Uncle with his “Murda Gram” diss song.

“I don’t even rap no more, man. But, the level of disrespect, when he DM’d me, that was it. His DM happened like a week ago, no, like two weeks ago. He just DM’d me and he said you the PG version and I’m the R-rated version. Like, the screenshot of the song is the DM. He said that to me. And I just said back, ‘Who this?’ My thing is, it’s been plenty of cats that have tried to do the Rap-Ups but no one’s been this disrespectful. I’m like, bro, why you keep saying my name? Y’all have to understand the only people who hear an Uncle Murda ‘Rap Up’ is in New York or World Star. But it doesn’t get past Exit 7 on the Turnpike. There are still people asking me, ‘Who is Uncle Murda?’ I’m just like, bro, like, he funny, he’s a character but he ain’t built for bars. … There’s 30 rappers in Brooklyn more important than Uncle Murda. Ain’t no more saying my name on the records. Come on, fam.” (Hot 97)
