This thursday Skillz the Dj Game will finally be available to buy for Ipad users! Me & DJ Daredevil from Droppin’ Science have been working on the soundtrack for a couple of years now for the Hong-Kong based production company Playpen Studios, creating specially re-edited & cut-up versions of tracks from the likes of Stones Throw Records, Ministry of Sound, Ninja Tune, Hospital Records & Om Records. I’ve been playing a pre-release version of the game for sometime now & I can tell you it’s a whole lot of fun, the control system is extremely intuitive, & a lot closer to the real thing than previous dj rhythm games!
A whole heap of videos have been released from various sources, I’ve posted up a few of my favourite ones I worked on below, check ‘em out!

Stream/Download here, or subscribe via itunes using the link below:
Fresh from rocking the crowd at the Jazzy Jeff x Droppin’ Science at Jazz Cafe, Skillz (p.k.a. Mad Skillz) drops his annual end of the year rap up for 2009. After last year’s effort was let down by lame production, this one’s a contender for best so far, touching on everything from the Kanye / Taylor Swift incident to various beefs from the likes of 50 Cent vs. Rick Ross & Eminem vs Mariah Carey, to the uprise of twitter & the sad demise of Mr Magic, Roc Raida, Baatin & DJ AM, all over a dope soulful beat. Heat!!
