Mass Appeal is proud to announce that lyrical bruiser Skyzoo and prolific producer Apollo Brown have come together to drop a collaborative album through the consistently bumping Mello Music Group! The Brooklyn spitter and Detroit beatsmith are not only well respected in hip hop circles, but their solo music has also been in everything from Grand Theft Auto IV to ESPN. Brown is no stranger to collaborations and has dropped ill projects with the likes of O.C., Planet Asia, Ras Kass, and Guilty Simpson. Not to be outdone, Sky has also done albums with some notable names like 9th Wonder, !llmind, and Torae.

For the lead single from this joint effort, Brown utilizes a simple piano loop with plenty of old vinyl crackle to get just the right feel for Skyzoo to wax poetic. As Sky says of the production:

“When I first heard the beat, I knew it would open up the album. Ironically it was the first beat Apollo played for me out of the batch, and I knew it was exactly how I wanted the project to begin. I hadn’t even told him what my approach would be with the album yet and he somehow nailed it blindly.”

And you’ll know how true that is when you hear his nonchalant brilliance on this track. Son’s got bars. To top the flavor off, we get Patty Crash’s light, hushed vocals sprinkled throughout the verses until the break, where she finally unleashes the whole hook on us. If you haven’t clicked play yet, get to it.
