Better than a lot of cats in any scene, mainstream, underground etc.
On topics:
This is a project that flirts with several different topics.
Blackness, Poverty, Criminality fueled by economic need not sociopathy and so on.
It strives to give humanity to a group of people who are stripped of it.
All over jazzy production that remains faithfully Hip-Hop.
Rhodes, Banging Drum Lups, Bass lines, Saxophones, Trumpets etc.
Often on The Coli Jazz is derided by the foolish and ignorant but this is a form of music
that is supreme and it's origins are as African American as can be and frankly it's
a genre that when sampled has directly contributed to the greatest songs in Hip-Hop.
Whether you're J. Dilla or Pete Rock or Q-Tip or Kanye West, hell even Dr. Dre and Dj Quik.
If you're from any fukking coast really this is the music alongside Soul, Blues, Funk and so on
that form the foundation to this rapping shyt.
It continues the stories that Skyzoo has weaved prior and will likely continue to.
And it's as worth a listen as "A Dream Deferred...", "Music For My Friends","The Easy Truth"
or his various other albums/mixtapes/projects that have dropped in his over a decade long career.
This is an Emcee reaching his lyrical and conceptual zenith and if you want to bare witness to it
instead of coming back to it a decade from now when the young of today are considered the "Old heads"
that'll inevitably prattle on about the underrated from the decade prior, then LISTEN TO THIS shyt NOW.
