Product Description
Finally theres an answer for Hip Hop fans yearning for an MC that could bring them back to the genres golden era in New York City and beyond. His name is Skyzoo. Get familiar. At an eager, observant age of just nine, Skyzoo penned his first song about the urban inner city life he witnessed from the window of his 18th floor apartment in Ebbets Field Projects. Fourteen years, five independent mixtapes, 100 songs and countless shows later, the 23-year-old Skyzoo has matured into a legitimate full-fledged artist. The loyal Brooklynite, who has already received accolades from Jay-Z, Nas, Buckshot, Sean Price and EPMD for his street-heavy, sharp narrating style and wit, understands a Hip Hop fans mentality and is prepared to customize music for their eyes and ears. Yes, music for their eyes and ears. "If they lend me their ears, they lend me their eyes," says an assuring Skyzoo, who prides himself in the art of storytelling with a street swagger. "I promise you when you hear my music...I promise you, you're going to not only hear something that you've never heard, but see something you've never seen. It's that real. My lyrical style and sound is what Hip Hop used to be. Some may remember Skyzoo for battling Jin on BETs 106 & Park, while others may have heard his tracks playing at Madison Square Garden during a Knicks game. In addition, although unsigned and actively grinding for a deal, one would never know it by peeping a live Skyzoo show. More than 800 people crowded into the Star Club, a New York City venue which is meant to host a max of 600, on December 22, 2005 just to see Skyzoo tear it down. The attendees included New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter, who witnessed the show and told Skyzoo hes the real deal. Respected artists and producers in the game have already taken notice at the sheer talent that Skyzoo brings to the table as well. The Brooklyn MC has already recorded with Little Brother, Khrysis, E-Ness from Bad Boy, EPMD, Sean Price, Needlz, Jay Dilla and Hi-Tek, just to name a few. Skyzoo is already off to a quick start in 2006. He has recorded The Way You Get Down, a club banger which industry heads are already dubbing the 06 In Da Club. In addition, Skyzoo has also completed a project with super producer 9th Wonder entitled "Cloud 9: The 3 Day High". The two completed the 12 song disc in 3 days; which is unheard of in modern day Hip Hop. The buzz surrounding this LP has skyrocketed through the net, and the response and anticipation is beyond belief. Along with that, Skyzoo is enjoying a massive following overseas and is reaching out to his fans with his own site and most recently via MySpace (www.myspace.com/skyzoo). With Skyzoo as the torch bearer, Hip Hops future is fluorescent bright.

This Cd is on point. I'm a big fan of 9th wonders production this just adds to the list of good things he has done. Sky is nice with the mic so it adds to the flavor of the CD. It's hard to believe that they laid this down in three days!! Good S**t get it!!!

This is one of those cd's u never get tired of listening too unless you like lil wayne or richboy beats. Skyzoo is the best new mc ive heard come out in some time. Whether its this cd or mixtapes ive heard from him, he has yet to come out with anything weak and he always works with all time great producers. The beats are some of 9th wonders best, very crisp, heavy chopping and fantasic samples as only mr. wonder can do. Skyzoo has a smooth Guru type flow that works great with 90's style classical beats. A 2006 Best Buy that still in my rotation to this day, thank you skyzoo and 9th wonder for bringing back real hip hop in the days of 3-6 mafia and lil wayne, you saved my life with this beautiful sounding cd!

I feel compelled to say Skyzoo doesn't sound like Jay-Z at all, since Jigga, in his weakest effort, has more energy, and if it sounds like Jigga to you, then you might want to stop riding Jigga so hard. Skyzoo sounds like a Brooklyn emcee. Nothing more, nothing less. Don't mean to call him a woman, but Plain Jane might be his name. Perhaps that is why everyone has chalked his sound up to Jigga, but his wordplay or style is no where close. Skyzoo's lyrics are lackluster and provide a listener with nothing to hold on to, as 9th Wonders beats seem like something he threw together from the cutting room floor of a Justus League session. The mix-downs on the EP are also lackluster, and sounds as if 9th was as eager to get out of the studio as Skyzoo was to get an album out of the studio. If you are a 9th Wonder fan, the album won't disapoint, but it doesn't add to his credentials either. If you've been listening to hip-hop as long as I have(30 years), then you've heard a lot more originality from a beatbox and emcee. Spitting lyrics just to spit doesn't cut it anymore, and hip-purists expect more. If Skyzoo intends to make a run for the gold he might want to get a couple of RedBulls and go into the studio instead of three days of being blunted. Cloup ( belongs just where the title states out there somewhere, I just don't know where. And next time, get some sleep ya'll... things sound good when you're half-asleep, but you sound like you're half-asleep when you're awake.
