I meant to write this weeks back, it's about the album release party that I posted on back on page 3.

Kerry Watkins whos a former executive for the Portland Trail Blazers sparked the idea for The Mind Of A Saint
originally Kerry wanted Skyzoo to do a sequel for his 2012 mixtape Theo vs JJ he wanted Skyzoo to do a Avon Barksdale vs Franklin Saint
conceptual mixtape. After asking numerous times Skyzoo shot the idea down but Sky being a huge fan of Snowfall (And friends with creator of the show John Singleton} Skyzoo came up with the idea of doing a conceptual mixtape from the mindset of the lead character Franklin Saint.

The majority of the songs on the album are scenes (Episodes) that Sky felt that needed to be expanded on

Panthers And Powder is an expansion on Episode 7, Season 1 Cracking.

Apologies In Order, being the fact of the life Franklin chose of being a crack dealer it lead to Melody being addicted to crack cocaine
Skyzoo felt as a character Franklin never got the chance to apologies to his former girlfriend Melody.

Purity, The second verse Skyzoo had writers block while writing this song, in his studio he has quotes posted from public figures
one being from Nipsey Hussle, it sparked the idea what if Franklin and Nippsey's father crossed path and he inspired his
children to become business owner in their own community.

Quick side notes
Skyzoo's son (Miles Taylor) and John Singleton's son (Seven Singleton) are best friends
John Singleton tried all the way back in 2005 to get Snowfall greenlighted but the idea of the show kept getting rejected
Once season 6 is wrapped Skyzoo will be doing a deluxe version of The Mind Of A Saint that is slated for a summer release

Feel free to ask me anything you would want to me expand on about the album if you feel that I didn't touch on it.
