Skillz Drops Impressive New Track “2016 Rap Up″ Covering The Year

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

2016 is coming to an end. So, Skillz, formerly known as Mad Skillz, has come through with a new track impressively recapping the year for us. From police killings to memes, Beyonce, Bryson Tiller, Zika, Hamilton, the passing of Phife Dawg, J. Lo and Drake getting together, and of course the election of Donald Trump. Mumble rap, ISIS, "Panda," the passing of so many stars, Stranger Things, Harambe, he really does cover it all. Skillz calls Anderson .Paak's project Malibu album of the year. And according to Skillz, the biggest L of 2016 goes to Hillary Clinton. The Richmond, Virginia rapper spits, "2016 was a bully and a punk/ on top of that now we gotta deal with Donald Trump/ pardon me as I vent/ Bro, we made a reality star the president/ and that just makes me sick/ talking about i gotta give him a chance/ naw I ain't gotta give him shit/ it's gonna be hard to be cope/ because you can't have progress dawg if you don't have hope/ more pros less rookies/ and if America is ours then how we let it get grabbed by the pussy/ they say I should mad off the cup/ oh, I sound mad/ y'all don't sound mad enough..."

The song is definitely worth a listen. Check out Skillz on "2016 Rap Up" via Soundcloud below and head here to check out 2015's song.
