This is just ok to me, would have preferred another Skyzoo album with multiple producers or if you go the one producer route one who can switch it up, Apollo Brown's production is way too repetitive to me.

Got my graph paper, thesaurus and smoking Jacket to break down this piff of an LP.

i think skyzoo gets slept on because some of his wordplay is so intricate/complex it simply goes over heads

this, as well..

dudes dropping some serious gems on here.. again.. from production, to rhymes.. very amazing project..

 

[Pete Wrigley]

Can't wait to listen to this later tonight

Music for My Friends is still in rotation and Apollo's recent project with Ugly Heroes was dope.

Rap musuc in 2016 has been so good for a nicca

Apollo Brown explains the meaning behind the Basquiat title. He tells XXL:

“Jean Michel stayed absolutely true to himself. Just like us, he made the type of art he wanted to make, even if it was the less popular choice at the time. Look at the impact of his work now though! There’s always a niche audience for what you create, and always a group of people who understand your vision. We, as hip hop artists prove this everyday.”

This ish is hitting. Never been a big Skyzoo fan but he delivered over some great Apollo production. "Flavor of the Month" sample on the stretch & bobbito joint was unexpected. Like that Apollo changed up his drums a bit on this. Great project, might make my Top 5 for the year.

My favorite joint off this record.


But then "They Parked a Bentley on the Corner" is right after and that shyt is

This album is just not fair. Not one trash joint on this album. Hard to skip on this one right here. Whole tape rides

 

[darealvelle]

this album is amazing..

which is strange, considering the Coli A&Rs/hip-hop think tank claimed NY is dead..

NY got dope spitters, just they radio like to support the garbage ones who try to sound like they from macon georgia
