Skyzoo - Frisbees
Producer: Illmind
Album: Live From the Tape Deck
Label: Jamla (IWWMG)/Duck Down
OK, raise your hand if you expected Skyzoo‘s latest single to be a diss track in which the Brooklyn native compared other rapper’s CDs to every fratboy/golden retriever’s favorite toy. I did, anyway. The truth, however, is considerably more creative: this joint finds Sky tossing out cryptic, tightly-wound punchlines like Frisbees, and challenging listeners to catch them with their brains. (Figuratively, of course.) Illmind mans the boards, creating a gritty synth backdrop for rhymes that’ll take their share of repeat listens to unravel: “Upper echelon, sketch a song, stretch the batter up, call the beat the lactose, pray it keep you padded up…” Lyrics like this might not score Skyzoo a spot in the Top 40, but they’ll certainly earn him a place in the iPods, and hearts, of hip-hop heads on the intellectual side of the spectrum. If you fall into that category, you’ll most definitely want to pick up a copy of Skyzoo and Illminds’s forthcoming collaborative LP, Live From the Tape Deck, set to hit stores and online retailers this October via Duck Down Records.

Good track on the surface. I feel like I need to listen a few more times to really appreciate this. I don't think I caught all his frisbees.

Skyzoo, I didn't get his album or mixtape when it was released. This though might get me to check it out. His flow reminds me of someone put can't put a name on it.
Production is simple but effective, I mean I'm sitting here nodding and smiling in a daze. Also at the end how they switch it up really brings it for me, lovin' it Skyzoo... |

I'm digging Skyzoo's lyrical concept on this - beginning each line with the last word of the previous line - the man's obviously one of the better writers in the game right now, and he's got the flow to match. Dopeness.
