Brand new prolonged play & the sixth general from Brooklyn, New York veteran Skyzoo. Emerging within the underground off the 9th Wonder produced Cloud 9: The 3 Day High, he continued to make a reputation for himself with a constant discography. Highlights embody The Salvation, the !llmind produced Live from the Tape Deck, A Dream Deferred, music for My Friends, the Apollo Brown produced The Easy Truth, In Celebration of Us & my private favourite: the Pete Rock produced Retropolitan devoted to his house state. All the Brilliant Things constructed itself round gentrification & The Mind of a Saint was devoted certainly one of my favourite reveals Snowfall, coming off the Old Soul music-backed Keep Me Company to debate the Views of a Lifetime.
“Tags at the Moma” produced by Camoflauge Monk talks about scheming for 20 cans a day over a increase bap instrumental whereas “Pardon Me” flexing that he was minimize from a extra Godly material. “The Wager” takes a drumless method due to Cartune Beatz asking for the specifics of a wager & as soon as “Sky is Like” homages certainly one of Nas’ biggest singles forward of Light-Years subsequent weekend, “Devotion” talks about ending the varsity of arduous knocks with honors over a crooning Conductor Williams beat.
Thelonious Martin jumps behind the boards for “Love Day” incorporating a flute & a soul pattern evaluating himself to Gil Scott-Heron carrying a Carmelo Anthony jersey whereas “Hope & Pray” takes a couple of minutes speaking about wishing nothing however the very best for the particular person he has thoughts. “The Soloist” blends jazz rap & increase bap courtesy of The Other Guys suggesting he may be higher off by himself whereas “Half Bloom” strips the drums speaking about taking up greater than he needed to.
Picking up the place Keep Me Company left off final Black Friday, this new prolonged play 53 weeks later offers with wanting again on what was after you’ve settled into this new world of the expansion Skyzoo’s final album explored & I’d really say I’d want Views of a Lifetime over it’s predecessor. I really feel just like the manufacturing’s stronger & the first Generation Rich Inc. founder displays on how his earlier life has modified drastically & it bought him the place he’s presently.
Score: 9/10
