Virginia rapper Skillz is coming with that audio heat. The hip-hop veteran has promised to come through in a big way with his "2019 Rap-Up" anthem.
On Monday, Skillz went to social media to encourage fans to cop limited edition merchandise and vowed to give every buying customer early access to his record.
For the “2018 Rap-Up” record, Skillz teamed up with comedian Lil Duval.
Last year, Brooklyn rapper Uncle Murda fired shots at Skillz with his “Why You Mad” diss record.
Days prior, 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)
