Play-N-Skillz Get Some Love From The Source

Dallas' Play-N-Skillz, a duo of half-Venezuelan, half-Argentinian brothers who both rap on their own songs and produce tracks for others, aren't exactly newcomers to the national hip-hop game--they produced and co-wrote Chamillionaire's huge hit "Ridin'", and they're the beatsmiths behind "Got Money," one of the sure-to-be hits off Lil Wayne's...
