First off, to everyone who’s been supporting and showing love to this archives series (from the blog runners who post them up to the blog readers who click and listen), I appreciate it 100%. The idea for this series came from my man Napoleon and it’s working out really well. I’m currently hard at work on The Salvation album as well as The Power Of Words mixtape, so rest assured that tons of new music is coming sooner than you think. This series is a good way to go back and peep some of the older stuff that may have gotten lost or didn’t reach as many ears as it could have. With that said, I bring you Skyzoo Archives #6: “History-2005″ produced by J Dilla. Anyone who knows my story knows that i’m huge J Dilla fan and that I was even lucky enough to build with him repeatedly before he passed away. I am also real close with his family, both related and extended (ie: Illa J, Guilty Simpson, House Shoes, Black Milk, etc). When I did this track in ’05, it was for my mixtape The City’s Favorite and was one of the stand out tracks. It’s me doing what I do back in ’05. Some of you may know this beat from Dilla’s leaked beat tapes and forums. It’s one of my fave’s from his later years. RIP J Dilla, the greatest producer of all time. I present to you “History-2005″, produced by J Dilla. holla

“I ain’t one of these douchebags/
hopin on a mixtape sayin he moves slabs/
don’t get it twisted I keep new cash/
I ain’t gotta tell the world I do’s that”
Dope track. Skyzoo comes correct. Dilla productions bless the eardrums.
mos uses this beaton his new upcoming album http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynILBxPcNM4
Skyzoo is a decent rapper, but it’s bothers me that for years now I see “produced by J Dilla” along side his name, and I know that Dilla never produced a single beat for him. It’s hard to have any respect for a guy or take him seriously when you see him as a kind of musical leech. Maybe leech is too harsh a word, but it’s all I can think of.
Iv been feelin Skyzoo whith this archive shit!!!
