But am I the only one who thinks Skyzoo is a little too Jay-z "influenced" ?, shyts annoying to me

I like Sky, but I've been saying this since "Get It Done".

He's said how much he looks up to Hov, but he's always sounded like he's lifted a little too much from him, to me. The music is dope, but that kinda takes away from it. It's definitely Hov from '97-'99. I've seen a lot of other people mention that.

Don't wanna shyt on this album cause they clearly put a lot of effort into it plus Apollo really diversified his beats

Big time. But i like Skyzoo's style, even if he bit a lot of it from Jay. shyt the Music for my friends album title is similar to a Jay-z quote where he says that reasonable doubt was an album for his friends

Yo, on Spotify, the beat for The Flyest Essence is switched from the original.

It's actually better :ohhh:

Dope album. Sky and Apollo never disappoint so this was a perfect match.

This may be the best Skyzoo album ever. Certainly way better than the last two.

But am I tripping or have like the last 3-4 Skyzoo albums all had at least one song with the substitution (the mighty healthy drums) drum break?
