It's New Year's Eve, and Skillz has once again come through with one of his patented yearly recaps. This time around, the rapper has opted for a low-key, eighties-inspired instrumental for the occasion. Across the four-minute-plus track, Skillz combs through the year's biggest events, laughing from afar as he indulges in a bit of malice-free reflection.

As he details it, Monique's Netflix boycott marked one of the inciting incidents, with Will Smith's arrival on Instagram a close second. From that point on, Skillz recaps the year with an observer's grace. The Eagles victory, North West, Black Panther, Kylie's baby, 21 and Amber, Tristian Thompson, Safaree nudes, Beyonce, #MeToo, Free Meek, Cardi B's bump, Starbucks, Fabolous and Emily, Bill Cosby, the Wal Mart yodeler, Surgical Summer, Thanos fu*king shit up, Roseanne's demise, MAGA Ye, Pusha playing Maury to Drake, Eminem vs MGK, LeBron's Laker's journey, who bit Beyonce, and much much more.

Peep the track, complete with self-deprecating album artwork, right now. Happy New Year!

Quotable Lyrics

Wayne dropped Tha Carter he was back fo sho,
Ya'll job shamed dude from The Cosby Show
Cardi and Nicki ya'll need to quit,
How the hell you throw a shoe in a Fashion Nova fit
Kylie and Travis made all the bread
6ix9ine trolled his ass right into the feds
