These flutes on Free Jewelry

He already flowed over this beat.

I had no idea this was dropping. Definitely a must listen.

Best produced album I heard this year. Fantastic on first listen

Fresh Jewelry beat is from this album

Its just the same sample, the first part of the beat was the same sample as SV's "Fall in Love" so he was probably just paying homage to Dilla

Skyzoo is one of those rappers that if skills alone made the artist he’d be a fukking superstar.


People debate about which current generation MC’s could survive in the “Golden Era”. Skyzoo would not only survive..he’d THRIVE

Skyzoo been nice. Probably the most underrated rapper on earth.

 

[TheDarceKnight]

This is a great album. This is in his top 3

Another good thing about Sky's projects is he usually puts me onto a beatmaker I haven't heard of before, STLNDRMS did "Plugs and Connections" and "The Scrimmage", dude is dope.

Kinda sounds like Sky was goin for a TPAB type sound (Theme) with this album......You can definitely tell he was tryin to go in one certain direction with the album before his back injury and he had **throat surgery.


**Skyzoo had a polyp remove from his throat back in July 2020, if you listen to Milestone and The Bluest Note, Sky's vocals were raspy, you can definitely tell on "Soft Eyes" that was pre-Surgery Skyzoo.

Skyzoo is one of the best rappers to debut in the 2000's.


And I fully stand by that comment.

Honestly, I'd say he's been messing with incorporating Jazz as early as "A Dream Deferred".

TPAB was/is definitely an influential album but I think Sky as well as the producers he messes with have been
trying to keep the banging beats but incorporating but R&B/Jazz in a way that isn't hokey or overplayed.

Dilla and Madlib

I sample that record as well. I will send it to you

I'd say The Great Debater.....But overall Sky has always been heavy on jazz he always post jazz records he blazes each Sunday on his IG page.

Main reason I felt the need to make the connection because a while back he posted Solange - A Seat A The Table was the inspiration for In Celebration Of Us.
I get the same vibe from TPAB with this album.

Only time will tell when he make his one year anniversary post for this album.
