Skyzoo and !llmind “Live From the Tape Deck”
October 8th, 2010 by chocko
Skyzoo and !llmind performed at a recent in store appearance at Best Buy in Union Square in New York City. Skyzoo is one dope MC straight outta Crown Heights, Brooklyn who worked with J Dilla and 9th Wonder early in his career while releasing mix tapes to get street buzz. He lost to Jin on BET’s 106 & Park freestyle contest, but would later release Corner Store Classic mixtape in 2007 which pretty much put him on the map. Duck Down Records released his album “The Salvation” and the recently released “Live From The Tape Deck” with Filipino American producer from NJ, !llmind. !llmind’s track record is crazy….producing music for artists such as 50 Cent, Eminem, Wu Tang Clan and Talib Kweli. The Skyzoo and !llmind collaboration is hip hop at its finest…raw lyrics, crazy wordplay and dope beats. Some guests on the album include Heltah Skeltah, Styles P, Torae and Buckshot. Skyzoo and !llmind performed a couple of songs from the album: digital analog, frisbees, the now or never and speakers on blast. A lot of people showed up for the event and Best Buy even sold out all their copies of the CD that night.
