Mad Skillz - The Nod Factor



Mad Skillz, debut album, From Where???, and its single, "The Nod Factor", were released in 1996, but neither received much commercial or critical attention. Skillz is more known for his yearly wrap ups and his classic single "Ghostwriter," where he mentions the rappers he wrote for. This record bring back memories when I hear it.



Hopefully he will release the unedited version one day, even though this song 10 years old!!! (wishful thinking)

The Last Emperor - Secret Wars part 1 and 2

Straight of out Philly, Last Emperor was one of the early acts that signed to Dre's label Aftermath Records, releasing his underground hit Secret Wars 1 and 2. This was a very creative song at the time, being that I am hip hop fanatic and I love Marvel comics (yeah I am a nerd) This is for those hip hop/comic book lovers out there.
