Skyzoo & Illmind, Live From The Tape Deck
Duck Down
Live from the Tape Deck, a collaboration between rapper Skyzoo and producer Illmind, is not only a throwback to classical values, but also a metaphor for “doing the right thing,†as several interludes derived from Spike Lee’s 1989 film reminds us. So in spite of being “critically acclaimed and underrated at the same time,†Skyzoo eschews industry gimmicks in favor of dense lyricism, from setting the proverbial “Kitchen Table†to tossing “Frisbees.†Illmind’s beats are reminiscent of Black Milk’s excellent Tronic, adding hardcore electronic bangers that enhance this purist hip-hop experience.
