‘Live From The Tape Deck’ is the perfect follow-up record for Skyzoo fans who are anxious for new material. Skyzoo says his goal while recording the album was ” to make something that felt like a 2010 cassette tape. I wanted the content to be raw and lyric driven as always, but not as story driven or emotional as ‘The Salvation’ was. There are still parts of the album that are stories and concepts, but not as much as my debut had. This one was more of a beats and rhymes type of album.”
!llmind took a custom approach to the production for the album based on the concept of “Live From The Tape Deck,” explaining that he “wanted to keep the soundscape warm and ‘analog’ sounding, just like how 2 inch tapes used to sound. Most of the keyboard and synth sounds I used were from analog synths made in the late 80′s. Combined this with using my ASR-10, I was able to capture that feeling, but with a slightly updated feel. I think our debut record, ‘Frisbees’ was a cool way, sonically, to introduce the sound I was going for.”

12 Langston’s PenSkyzoo & !llmind secured features from artists that matched the ‘Live From The Tape Deck’ concept. Skyzoo goes further saying, “I went to who I felt made sense for the records I put them on. For instance, when fans hear the track, “the burn notice”, they’ll agree that the beat, being chaotic and loud, had Heltah Skeltah written all over it.”

Lyrically Sky is as sound as they come. I expect nothing but hip hop in it’s truest form from the homie. In my mind Sky is “The leader of the new school”
Where should I start with Skyzoo? I gave him a try not too long ago but I felt as a pretty well off white teenager from the burbs that I couldn’t connect, but maybe I wasn’t trying hard enough.
@helpplease if you just want to hear ridiculous lyrics, check out “Power of Words” mixtape. Basically just showing off his lyrics and flow diversity.
If you want more simple lyrics, but great story telling, check out “Cloud 9: The 3 Day High”. Pretty mellow style for the most part
The Salvation has crazy concepts, lyrics, and beats chosen for the mood he wanted to set.
“City’s Favorite” & “Corner Store Classic” are his street mixtapes
i thought this was released on the 5th Oct.

I’m hoping for a Boondocks-themed track.
