Mixtape Masters J.Period (2X MTV Top DJs, 2X Mixtape DJ of the Year) & The Aphylliates’ Don Cannon (ATL Kingpin & Producer for Jeezy, Fabolous, 50 Cent and more) have joined forces with the most famous Ghostwriter of all time, Skillz, for a brand new mixtape guaranteed to make true headz nod like it was 93. So loose-lace your Timbs and bust out the walkman… this is "Design of a Decade" Part 1.

With J.Period & Cannon on the cut, Skillz takes it back to the golden era, flipping his legendary lyrical style over slept-on 90s classics from Organized Konfusion, Tha Alkaholiks, Double X Posse, A Tribe Called Quest and more. With his upcoming album, “The Million Dollar Backpack,” set for a July 08 release on Koch Records/Big Kidz Ent., Skillz pays homage to the cuts that shaped his love of hip hop, and helped make him into one of hip hop’s finest emcees.
